Chris Josten 54235f298e Add MPRIS support
Besides MPRIS support, this also adds support for hasPrevious() and
hasNext() in several parts to determine whether the
player/playlist/shuffler has a previous or next item.

<interface name="org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.TrackList">
<tp:docstring xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<p>
Provides access to a short list of tracks which were recently played or
will be played shortly. This is intended to provide context to the
currently-playing track, rather than giving complete access to the
media player's playlist.
</p>
<p>
Example use cases are the list of tracks from the same album as the
currently playing song or the
<a href="http://projects.gnome.org/rhythmbox/">Rhythmbox</a> play queue.
</p>
<p>
Each track in the tracklist has a unique identifier.
The intention is that this uniquely identifies the track within
the scope of the tracklist. In particular, if a media item
(a particular music file, say) occurs twice in the track list, each
occurrence should have a different identifier. If a track is removed
from the middle of the playlist, it should not affect the track ids
of any other tracks in the tracklist.
</p>
<p>
As a result, the traditional track identifiers of URLs and position
in the playlist cannot be used. Any scheme which satisfies the
uniqueness requirements is valid, as clients should not make any
assumptions about the value of the track id beyond the fact
that it is a unique identifier.
</p>
<p>
Note that the (memory and processing) burden of implementing the
TrackList interface and maintaining unique track ids for the
playlist can be mitigated by only exposing a subset of the playlist when
it is very long (the 20 or so tracks around the currently playing
track, for example). This is a recommended practice as the tracklist
interface is not designed to enable browsing through a large list of tracks,
but rather to provide clients with context about the currently playing track.

<tp:mapping name="Metadata_Map" array-name="Metadata_Map_List">
<tp:docstring xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<p>A mapping from metadata attribute names to values.</p>
<p>
The <b>mpris:trackid</b> attribute must always be present, and must be
of D-Bus type "o". This contains a D-Bus path that uniquely identifies
the track within the scope of the playlist. There may or may not be
an actual D-Bus object at that path; this specification says nothing
about what interfaces such an object may implement.
</p>
<p>
If the length of the track is known, it should be provided in the
metadata property with the "mpris:length" key. The length must be
given in microseconds, and be represented as a signed 64-bit integer.
</p>
<p>
If there is an image associated with the track, a URL for it may be
provided using the "mpris:artUrl" key. For other metadata, fields
defined by the
<a href="http://xesam.org/main/XesamOntology">Xesam ontology</a>
should be used, prefixed by "xesam:". See the
<a href="http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/mpris-spec/metadata">metadata page on the freedesktop.org wiki</a>
for a list of common fields.
</p>
<p>
Lists of strings should be passed using the array-of-string ("as")
D-Bus type. Dates should be passed as strings using the ISO 8601
extended format (eg: 2007-04-29T14:35:51). If the timezone is
known, RFC 3339's internet profile should be used (eg:
2007-04-29T14:35:51+02:00).
