Alsa timing improvements.
This moves the computation of the select timeout from
alsa_write_post_select() to alsa_write_pre_select(). The code now
computes when the next buffer underrun would occur and uses that
value to set the timeout for the next select call. This decreases
the number of writes to the alsa handle and therefore also the CPU
usage of para_write/para_audiod.

Move functions only needed by audiod from stat.c to audiod_command.c.
This was 4 out of 5 and thus should decrease the size of executables for non-Linux
systems a bit as we don't use -fdata-sections -ffunction-sections and -Wl,--gc-sections
there.
Is also allows to remove some entries from para.h.

client_post_select(): Defer decrypting of server challenge.
The old code worked only by pure luck: We allocated the crypt buffer on the stack as
an ordinary automatic variable. This buffer was filled right after we received the challenge
from the server, but it was used in a _subsequent_ call to client_post_select(). There's
no guarantee that the content of the crypt buffer stays the same between these two calls.
So defer the decryption until the client status is CL_RECEIVED_CHALLENGE, i.e. until
the socket file descriptor is known to be ready for sending back the SHA1 of the decrypted
challenge.

Fix com_init() in case arguments are given.
As the ->name field of struct afs_table was only initialized in the afs process,
com_init(), which gets forked from the server process, did not see the table
names and would segfault due to a NULL pointer dereference if table names
were given as arguments.
Fix it by initializing the ->name fields in the definition of the afs_tables array.
This bug was introduced in commit 53d503ce back in 2007...

Scoring performance enhancements.
The old scoring code computed the afsi, afhi, and the path of the audio file for each
item of the mood, which is unnecessary. This patch moves these computations from
get_item_score() into compute_mood_score() so that afsi, afhi and path are only
computed once per audio file.
As a result, get_item_score() can no longer fail, so we may skip the checks for negative
return values.

Move mood methods to a separate file.
As more mood methods will be added in subsequent patches, it's good to separate
moods from mood methods.
This also removes the played_rarely mood method, since it never really worked: Whether
or not a file was played rarely depends on the afs statistics which have not been
computed at the time the mood scrore function is executed.

Otherwise, assume 1900 + N.

Introduce para_regcomp.
A wrapper for regcomp() that logs an error message if the regcomp() failed
and uses a return value according to the paraslash rules. Currently there is
only one user of regular expressions, is_v4_dot_quad(), which is converted
to para_regex(), but new callers will be added soon.
Unfortunately, this change made it necessary to include regex.h in all .c files
that use string.h. Clean up the order in which headers are included a bit while
we're at it.
Maybe I should rethink the rule "Only .c files shall include header files"...

Replace split_args() by create_argv().
The latter function is superior as it honors quotes and special characters like '\n'.

gui: Avoid unnecessary strdup's and replace newlines by spaces in curses output.
align_str() made a copy of the given buffer because one of its callers, print_in_bar(),
passes a string literal and align_str() needs to truncate large strings.However, all other
callers pass a writable string anyway, so do the strdup() in print_in_bar(). This avoids the
unnecessary copies for each status item.
The areas for the status items was designed to hold only a part of a single line, so status
item text should not contain newlines. The patch replaces newlines by spaces.
