For some reason, the buffered_audio variable was used to "cache" the
ao_get_delay() result. But I can't really see any reason why this should
be done, and it just seems to complicate everything.
One reason might be that the value should be checked only if the AO
buffers have been recently filled (as otherwise the delay could go low
and trigger an accidental EOF condition), but this didn't work anyway,
since buffered_audio is set from ao_get_delay() anyway at a later point
if it was unset. And in both cases, the value is used _after_ filling
the audio buffers anyway.
Simplify it. Also, move the audio EOF condition to a separate function.
(Note that ao_eof_reached() probably could/should whether the last
ao_play() call had AOPLAY_FINAL_CHUNK set to avoid accidental EOF on
underflows, but for now let's keep the code equivalent.)

And also add a function ao_need_data(), which AO drivers can call if
their audio buffer runs low.
This change intends to make it easier for the playback thread: instead
of making the playback thread calculate a timeout at which the audio
buffer should be refilled, make the push.c audio thread wakeup the core
instead.
ao_need_data() is going to be used by ao_pulse, and we need to
workaround a stupid situation with pulseaudio causing a deadlock because
its callback still holds the internal pulseaudio lock.
For AOs that don't call ao_need_data(), the deadline is calculated by
the buffer fill status and latency, as before.

Since the addition of the AO feed thread, 200ms of latency (MIN_BUFFER)
was added to all push-based AOs. This is not so nice, because even AOs
with relatively small buffering (e.g. ao_alsa on my system with ~170ms
of buffer size), the additional latency becomes noticable when e.g.
toggling mute with softvol.
Fix this by trying to keep not only 200ms minimum buffer, but also 200ms
maximum buffer. In other words, never buffer beyond 200ms in total. Do
this by estimating the AO's buffer fill status using get_space and the
initially known AO buffer size (the get_space return value on
initialization, before any audio was played). We limit the maximum
amount of data written to the soft buffer so that soft buffer size and
audio buffer size equal to 200ms (MIN_BUFFER).
To avoid weird problems with weird AOs, we buffer beyond MIN_BUFFER if
the AO's get_space requests more data than that, and as long as the soft
buffer is large enough.
Note that this is just a hack to improve the latency. When the audio
chain gains the ability to refilter data, this won't be needed anymore,
and instead we can introduce some sort of buffer replacement function in
order to update data in the soft buffer.

Until now, this was always conflated with uninit. This was ugly, and
also many AOs emulated this manually (or just ignored it). Make draining
an explicit operation, so AOs which support it can provide it, and for
all others generic code will emulate it.
For ao_wasapi, we keep it simple and basically disable the internal
draining implementation (maybe it should be restored later).
Tested on Linux only.

This has 2 goals:
- Ensure that AOs have always enough data, even if the device buffers
are very small.
- Reduce complexity in some AOs, which do their own buffering.
One disadvantage is that performance is slightly reduced due to more
copying.
Implementation-wise, we don't change ao.c much, and instead "redirect"
the driver's callback to an API wrapper in push.c.
Additionally, we add code for dealing with AOs that have a pull API.
These AOs usually do their own buffering (jack, coreaudio, portaudio),
and adding a thread is basically a waste. The code in pull.c manages
a ringbuffer, and allows callback-based AOs to read data directly.

Apparently unused.

We want to move the AO to its own thread. There's no technical reason
for making the ao struct opaque to do this. But it helps us sleep at
night, because we can control access to shared state better.
