When librespot is built with Avahi turned on, it will crash if Avahi is
later not available at runtime.
This change avoids it crashing hard when Avahi is not available;
librespot will merely warn of the issue.
This affects some distribution packages too, where the maintainer might
prefer leaving Avahi support enabled, but many setups don't (or can't)
run Avahi.

This sets the name displayed by PulseAudio to Librespot - Instance Name if a name is given otherwise Librespot (the default name).
This also sets the correct "role" as per the docs:
https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/Documentation/Developer/Clients/ApplicationProperties/
PA_PROP_MEDIA_ROLE
"This is a property of the actual streamed data, not so much the application"
Roles are used for policies, things like automatically muting a music player when a call comes in and whatnot.
For bonus points this also sets PULSE_PROP_application.icon_name to audio-x-generic so that we get a nice icon in the PulseAudio settings by our name instead of a missing icon placeholder.
When there's a value that corresponds to an argument name used in the same command line, the logging of the arguments gets confused and logs the matching argument, but without the leading dash:
```
% target/debug/librespot -n c --verbose -c /path/to/my/cache
[2022-02-07T22:32:25Z INFO librespot] librespot 0.3.1 55ced49 (Built on 2022-02-07, Build ID: qaEB8kEW, Profile: debug)
[2022-02-07T22:32:25Z TRACE librespot] Command line argument(s):
[2022-02-07T22:32:25Z TRACE librespot] -n "c"
[2022-02-07T22:32:25Z TRACE librespot] c "/path/to/my/cache"
[2022-02-07T22:32:25Z TRACE librespot] --verbose
[2022-02-07T22:32:25Z TRACE librespot] -c "/path/to/my/cache"
```
Here we're using the literal `c` as the device name, and the `-c` argument. Thus the `c /path/to/my/cache` is logged in addition to `-c /path...`.
After checking whether the key has a leading dash, this issue is gone:
```
% target/debug/librespot -n c --verbose -c /path/to/my/cache
[2022-02-07T22:32:41Z INFO librespot] librespot 0.3.1 55ced49 (Built on 2022-02-07, Build ID: qaEB8kEW, Profile: debug)

Fix up for #886Closes: #898
And...
* Don't silently ignore non-Unicode while parsing env vars.
* Iterating over `std::env::args` will panic! on invalid unicode. Let's not do that. `getopts` will catch missing args and exit if those args are required after our error message about the arg not being valid unicode.
* Gaurd against empty strings. There are a few places while parsing options strings that we don't immediately evaluate their validity let's at least makes sure that they are not empty if present.
* `args` is only used in `get_setup` it doesn't need to be in main.
* Nicer help header.
* Get rid of `use std::io::{stderr, Write};` and just use `rpassword::prompt_password_stderr`.
* Get rid of `get_credentials` it was clunky, ugly and only used once. There is no need for it to be a separate function.
* Handle an empty password prompt and password prompt parsing errors.
* + Other random misc clean ups.
Make librespot able to parse environment variables for options and flags.
To avoid name collisions environment variables must be prepended with `LIBRESPOT_` so option/flag `foo-bar` becomes `LIBRESPOT_FOO_BAR`.
Verbose logging mode (`-v`, `--verbose`) logs all parsed environment variables and command line arguments (credentials are redacted).
* Don't panic when parsing options. Instead list valid values and exit.
* Get rid of needless .expect in playback/src/audio_backend/mod.rs.
* Enforce reasonable ranges for option values (breaking).
* Don't evaluate options that would otherwise have no effect.
* Add pub const MIXERS to mixer/mod.rs very similar to the audio_backend's implementation. (non-breaking though)
* Use different option descriptions and error messages based on what backends are enabled at build time.
* Add a -q, --quiet option that changed the logging level to warn.
* Add a short name for every flag and option.
* Note removed options.
* Other misc cleanups.
* Remove deprecated use of std::u16::MAX
* Use `FromStr` for fallible `&str` conversions
* DRY up strings into constants
* Change `as_ref().map()` into `as_deref()`
* Use `Duration` for time constants and functions
* Optimize `Vec` with response times
* Move comments for `rustdoc` to parse
Dithering lowers digital-to-analog conversion ("requantization") error, linearizing output, lowering distortion and replacing it with a constant, fixed noise level, which is more pleasant to the ear than the distortion.
Guidance:
- On S24, S24_3 and S24, the default is to use triangular dithering. Depending on personal preference you may use Gaussian dithering instead; it's not as good objectively, but it may be preferred subjectively if you are looking for a more "analog" sound akin to tape hiss.
- Advanced users who know that they have a DAC without noise shaping have a third option: high-passed dithering, which is like triangular dithering except that it moves dithering noise up in frequency where it is less audible. Note: 99% of DACs are of delta-sigma design with noise shaping, so unless you have a multibit / R2R DAC, or otherwise know what you are doing, this is not for you.
- Don't dither or shape noise on S32 or F32. On F32 it's not supported anyway (there are no integer conversions and so no rounding errors) and on S32 the noise level is so far down that it is simply inaudible even after volume normalisation and control.
New command line option:
--dither DITHER Specify the dither algorithm to use - [none, gpdf,
tpdf, tpdf_hp]. Defaults to 'tpdf' for formats S16
S24, S24_3 and 'none' for other formats.
Notes:
This PR also features some opportunistic improvements. Worthy of mention are:
- matching reference Vorbis sample conversion techniques for lower noise
- a cleanup of the convert API
This is a squashed commit featuring the following:
Connect:
- Synchronize player volume with mixer volume on playback
- Fix step size on volume up/down events
- Remove no-op mixer started/stopped logic
Playback:
- Move from `connect` to `playback` crate
- Make cubic volume control available to all mixers with `--volume-ctrl cubic`
- Normalize volumes to `[0.0..1.0]` instead of `[0..65535]` for greater precision and performance (breaking)
- Add `--volume-range` option to set dB range and control `log` and `cubic` volume control curves
- Fix `log` and `cubic` volume controls to be mute at zero volume
Alsa mixer:
- Complete rewrite (breaking)
- Query card dB range for the `log` volume control unless specified otherwise
- Query dB range from Alsa softvol (previously only from hardware)
- Use `--device` name for `--mixer-card` unless specified otherwise
- Fix consistency for `cubic` between cards that report minimum volume as mute, and cards that report some dB value
- Fix `--volume-ctrl {linear|log}` to work as expected
- Removed `--mixer-linear-volume` option; use `--volume-ctrl linear` instead
fe37186 added the restriction that `Sink`s must be `Send`. It turned
out later that this restrictions was unnecessary, and since some
`Sink`s aren't `Send` yet, this restriction is lifted again.
librespot-org/librespot#601 refactored the `RodioSink` in order to make
it `Send`. These changes are partly reverted in favour of the initial
simpler design.
Furthermore, there were some compile errors in the gstreamer backend
which are hereby fixed.
