The perceived loudness change of a change in volume depends
on the listening volume: at high volumes a 1 dB increment is
noticeable, but at low volumes a larger increment is needed
to get a comparable change in loudness.
Perceptual volume adjustment accounts for this fact, and
divides the hardware volume range into a number of steps.
Each step changes the dB volume by a variable amount, with
most of the steps concentrated at higher volumes. This
makes it possible to sweep over the entire hardware volume
range quickly, without losing the ability to finely adjust
the volume at normal listening levels.
Use "Volume Adjustment Mode" in the system settings menu
to select perceptual volume mode. The number of steps used
is controlled by "Number of Volume Steps". (Number of steps
has no effect in direct adjustment mode.)
It's still possible to set a specific dB volume level from
the sound settings menu when perceptual volume is enabled,
and perceptual volume does not affect the volume displayed
by themes.

* Get rid of the non-functional GT2 loader
* Add the UMX loader
* Add HQ mixer routines (and make it configurable)
* Allow samplerate to be configured at run/playtime
* Support >64KHz mixing/playback
* Correctly restore non-boost status
(The diff to upstream is much smaller now too!)

Gives us the lowest HW sample rate that's >= 22KHz.
Needed because some targets that don't support 22K support 11K or 8K, so
HW_SAMPR_MIN will give us much lower quality than is acceptable.
Take advantage of this new macro in the SDL, MIDI, and MIKMOD plugins,
and implement a crude "fast enough" test to enable higher sample rates
on more capable targets.

- Improved sound quality (use 44.1KHz)
- Conventional mixer is now used
- Playback is performed in a separate thread
- Speech feedback in menus

On Windows 64-bit, the size of long is 32-bit, thus any pointer to long cast is
not valid. In any case, one should use intptr_t and ptrdiff_t when casting
to integers. This commit attempts to fix all instances reported by GCC.
When relevant, I replaced code by the macros PTR_ADD, ALIGN_UP from system.h

Stick to the safer version of those two.
Tested mikmod still works with some nice Necros .s3m files.

We should be safe since STM_Load() should
never be called if STM_Test() fails.
Still it's better safe than sorry.

libs in $ROOT/lib now add to $(CORE_LIBS) and $(EXTRA_LIBS) and are
automatically linked by the core and codecs/plugins respectively.

Additional status callback is added to pcm_play/rec_data instead of
using a special function to set it. Status includes DMA error
reporting to the status callback. Playback and recording callback
become more alike except playback uses "const void **addr" (because
the data should not be altered) and recording uses "void **addr".
"const" is put in place throughout where appropriate.
Most changes are fairly trivial. One that should be checked in
particular because it isn't so much is telechips, if anyone cares to
bother. PP5002 is not so trivial either but that tested as working.

This enables the ability to allocate (and free) memory dynamically
without fragmentation, through compaction. This means allocations can move
and fragmentation be reduced. Most changes are preparing Rockbox for this,
which many times means adding a move callback which can temporarily disable
movement when the corresponding code is in a critical section.
For now, the audio buffer allocation has a central role, because it's the one
having allocated most. This buffer is able to shrink itself, for which it
needs to stop playback for a very short moment. For this,
audio_buffer_available() returns the size of the audio buffer which can
possibly be used by other allocations because the audio buffer can shrink.
lastfm scrobbling and timestretch can now be toggled at runtime without
requiring a reboot.
