Remplace aucat server by a new sndiod daemon aimed to be simpler
smaller and faster than aucat. It's a drop in replacement with the
following exceptions that don't affect the default setup:
- The sample rate and the encoding are a per-device parameters
thus -r and -e options must precede the corresponding -f option
- MIDI thru boxes are dynamically created and no -M option
is required anymore, so -M was removed.
- MIDI ports are exposed with a new ``midi/N'' name, rather
than abusing MIDI thru boxes.

Remove midicat since aucat can now be used instead of midicat
with almost the same syntax (roughly an extra -M option).
Thru boxes are created with aucat, and corresponding MIDI port
names have the "aucat" prefix instead of "midithru". The old
device name will still work some time for backward compatibility.

Allow the audio device to be opened only while it's actually used.
This is necessary for uaudio devices, for instance to start aucat
before the device is plugged. Or to unplug a device whithout
having to restart aucat when another device is plugged. This is
controlled with the new -a option.

Allow multiple audio devices to be used concurently, i.e.
multiple ``-f devname'' options to be used; -f options must follow
per-device options, which is what we do for other options.

Add traces to help tracking subtle timing bugs often causing
underuns and overruns; such bugs are hard to debug with ktrace
or a debugger. They are also handy to debug or monitor code

To enable traces, compile aucat with ``make DEBUG=-DDEBUG'' and
use the -d option multiple times.

Currently midi capable programs can control midi hardware, but
cannot cooperate with other programs. The aim of this change is
to allow any program to send midi data to other programs as they
were midi hardware. For instance, this change should solve the
longstanding problem of using a midi sequencer with software
synthesizers. More precisely:

- new midicat(1) utility (actually hardlink to aucat(1)).
it creates software midi thru boxes, allowing programs
to send midi messages to other programs as they were
midi(4) hardware.

- new midi api in libsndio (see mio_open(3)), to access
midi(4) devices and midicat(1) sockets in a uniform way.

- new device naming scheme <service>:<unit>[.<option>],
common to audio and midi.

- new sndio(7) manual describing concepts and naming

The current audio device naming still works, but people having
scripts or configuration files containing device names could read
the sndio(7) man page and slowly start updating device names.

add minimal server capability to aucat(1). When started in server
mode, it listens on an unix socket and mixes/demultiplexes any number
of full-duplex streams, doing necessary format conversions and
resampling on the fly.

programs can use the new libsa(3) library to play and record audio.
The library provides a very simple API to connect to the audio server;
if aucat(1) isn't running, it uses the audio(4) driver transparently
instead.

move all device related stuff from aucat.c to a new dev.c file.
The new dev_xxx() routines expose a "high level" self-contained
interface to the device. At initialization, the device is opened
and two chains of aproc structures are created:

* a playback chain that exposes a (initially) empty mix
aproc to which the rest of the code can attach new
streams to be played

* record chain that exposes a (initially) empty sub aproc
to which the rest of the code can attach new stream to
to record

The rest of the code, has just to use dev_attach() routine to
attach streams. While we're at it, add a ``devops'' structure
containing pointers to the device-specific routines. This will
allow later to add support for other type of device than the
Sun API.

Also, write the .wav headers in file_del(), so put all header
related data in the file strucuture. This allows to close() the
file, as soon as wpipe_xxx() aproc terminates. This will be
useful for the server, because it will need to close() descripts
of closed connections immediately.

add mix_pushzero() routine to fill the mixer with silence. It
will be used to avoid the mixer to underrun when there are no
input streams. Since we always have at least one input stream
there's no behaviour change.
