para_filter: Decode also small ogg vorbis files properly.
ogg_post_select() returns after initializing the decoder without
decoding anything, which is usually OK. However, if the file is smaller
than half of the size of the stdin buffer tree area, the whole file
is going to be fed to the decoder during the first iteration of the
scheduler loop. Currently this results in an empty output file.
The problem with small files is that the post select function of the
stdin buffer tree node encounters EOF on the next read and returns
EOF. This causes oggdec_post_select() to abort without producing any
output since its parent (stdin) is gone and there is no input pending.
This patch fixes the problem by setting the "have_more" flag after
ogg_init() returned successfully. oggdec_post_select() checks this
flag and only returns negative if it is unset.

Overhaul the daemon uptime functions.
The public interface of daemon.c offers some helpers for maintaining
and printing the uptime of the service. This interface consists of
the "uptime" enumeration and the public functions server_uptime()
and uptime_str(). The former function takes an uptime enum which is
either 'UPTIME_GET' or 'UPTIME_SET'.
It is cleaner to avoid the enumeration and have two separate
functions for getting and setting the uptime, so this patch
replaces server_uptime() by two new functions get_server_uptime()
and set_server_start_time(), renames uptime_str() to
get_server_uptime_str() and gets rid of the uptime enum.
All three new functions take an optional struct timeval * type argument
for the common case where the caller already knows the current time, or
wishes to specify another time for whatever reason. This allows to save
one time() system call per scheduler loop in para_server since with
this patch status_refresh() can pass the global "now" pointer (which
us updated by the scheduler once per loop) to get_server_uptime().

ipc: Determine maximal size of a shared memory area at runtime.
During command dispatch, the afs process allocates shm areas for the
query result and passes the identifiers via the local socket to the
child process of para_server which is executing the command. If the
write to the (non-blocking) local socket fails, for example because
the call would block, afs closes the connection to the child process
immediately to avoid deadlocks.
Therefore the maximal output size of an (afs) command depends
linearly on the size of the shared memory areas, so it is desirable
to allocate areas as large as possible. Currently, we use the SHMMAX
if it is defined and fall back to the safe default value of 64K
otherwise. However, this default is much smaller than the typical limit
of 32M on Linux. Moreover, the maximal size of a shared memory area
(shmmax) can be set at any time on most if not all operating systems,
so runtime detection of shmmax is to be preferred.
Unfortunately the way to obtain shmmax varies between operating
systems. On Linux, the value is available as the contents of a file
in /proc while on {Free,Net}BSD and Darwin sysctlbyname() must be
called. Moreover, BSD and Darwin use different identifiers for the
sysctlbyname() call.
So any code that determines shmmax at runtime and works on all
of the above systems must necessarily be ugly. This patch tries to
concentrate all ugliness in the new shm_get_shmmax() function, so that
the changes outside of ipc.c consist only of replacements SHMMAX ->
shm_get_shmmax() and of the removal of the default SHMMAX setting.
The new function only determines shmmax once when it is called for
the first time.
