* When the user isn't requesting a custom notification, it will
be a BMediaRoster job to do it.
* Reintroduce BMediaRoster::SyncToServices, this time based on local
message passing rather than a global semaphore.
* SyncToServices is used in launch_media_server to make the process
more launch_daemon safe and faster in the average case.
* It was an error to add notifications in the media_server.
* Fixes#12717.
* Remove SyncToServices, I will probably readd it in future
but this time using a local synchronization service more than
relying on the media_server to release the semaphore.
* Due to some discussions today in mailing list I decided
to step back and retry the initial way to notify media rosters
about media services status. It is woking by using two different
notifications for reconnecting to the media_server and notifying
the local subscribers.
* This speed up the media services restart.
* Sorry for the noise and very thanks for reviewing my code to
everyone.
* The global synchro semaphore is provided with the purpose of
being used to avoid threads lock up when the media_server is in
an undefined state. There's still room for improvements.
* BMediaRoster::SyncToServices lock up on a semaphore until
the multi_audio correctly connected to the mixer.
* Add -fgnu89-inline flag for libroot/posix/glibc
* Change __GNUC__ == 4 to __GNUC__ >= 4

Fixes#11990, most of the changes had already been done.
* This is done by watching to registrar notifications
and providing a minimal service to contact the
media roster in private API. The roster use this
service to automatically reconnect to the media_server.
The media_server is now able to remember the timesource associated to
a certain registered_node and always remove it when the owner
application crash, Fixes Ticket #11852
The media server tried to use node monitoring to dynamically add and
remove plug-ins, but it isn't that useful:
* When a plug-in is added, applications would have to query the media
server to get an up to date list of available formats. For example
MediaConvert populates its format menus on startup.
* When removing a plugin, if an app already had it loaded, there is not
much that can be done to keep it working.
* The list of plugins was not sorted by directories (user vs system
add-ons), so the directories were re-scanned to make sure user add-ons
were returned first, rendering the node monitoring less interesting.
Now, the format handling is done by each application. The node
monitoring is removed, instead the apps will scan the plugin directory
when first using the media kit classes. Restarting the application is
needed to update the media formats list.
* The media_addon_server before unloading addons need to be sure the nodes are deleted.
For instance, applications could keep references on global nodes, thus preventing deletion.
To release all references, the media_addon server uses a new method BMediaRosterEx::ReleaseNodeAll().
* Quit the MediaRoster looper when quitting media_addon server before unloading addons.

accessible from the outside.
* Instead, request_data now retrieves/releases a reply port on its own.
* There were some more places that still used write_port()/read_port() instead
of QueryServer().

usual structures.
* Also, they now use the QueryServer()/SendToServer() functions instead of
duplicating them.

* Fixed at least two reference counting problems, but nodes from killed teams
still remain alive (will look into this at a later point).
* GetLiveNodes() is now using transfer_area() as well.
* Made all sizes in the SendTo*() and Query*() functions size_t.
* Replaced reinterpret_casts with static_casts when casting void pointers.
* Ordered the request/reply structures by target.
* Tried to consolidate the use of add_on vs. addon.
* More cleanup.

into smaller parts:
media_addon_server:
* Removed (broken) use of (broken and inefficient) home-brewn Map, and List
classes. This also fixes a crash on shutdown when used with the malloc_debug
implementation. It's using stl::vector, and stl::map now instead.
_shared_buffer_list:
* Renamed _shared_buffer_list to SharedBufferList, and put it into the BPrivate
namespace. Also, made a class out of it.
* Separated shared buffer list creation from cloning.
* Enlarged maximum number of buffers to something that is not that evil, but
actually uses the space it has (ie. is a useful multiple of
shared_buffer_info that fills a multiple of B_PAGE_SIZE as much as possible).
* No longer drops into the debugger if the
* The list that is currently used is very inefficient for the features it
provides though (no change there).
_buffer_id_cache:
* Renamed to BufferCache, and put it into the private namespace
* It now deletes its buffers on deletion; since the BBufferConsumer will be
gone, too, at this point, there is little chance that there are still buffers
in use.
* Also, it's now using std::map instead of the (see above) Map class.
BBuffer:
* Got rid of the fBufferID member.
Misc.:
* Got rid of the global "team" variable; the media kit is now using the
private app kit's current_team() now.
* Added a lot of missing error checks (mostly memory allocations).
* Renamed fields like "flavorid" to flavor_id, renamed "dfi_*" fields to
something more detailed.
* Moved ServerInterface.h from src/servers/media/ to headers/private/media.
* Notifications.h was not self contained.
* Added missing licenses.
* Lots of cleanups, and coding style fixes.
What this doesn't fix:
* Bug #4954 which started all this (this comes next, though)
* Deinitialization is broken, as the PortPool is uninitialized too early, and
still used afterwards.
* The strange add-on monitoring code in the media_addon_server
