For the plug-and-play hardware, like USB devices, it may be helpful
to manage the sound state periodically, before the devices are removed.
This change implements new commands 'daemon' and 'rdaemon' to save
the sound state in defined intervals when the sound controls are changed.
The udev rules can notify the daemon using the 'kill' or 'nrestore'
commands to rescan available cards in the system.

When alsactl init is invoked and a directory path is passed to INCLUDE
command in the config file, read only *.conf files in that directory.
This will avoid reading backup files or invalid files that have been
created accidentally.
Also by using scandir() with alphasort(), alsactl reads the files in
alphabetical order. Thus it's highly recommended to use some number
prefix to the file name for assuring the order.

When the global state does not exist, alsactl tries to
initialize all soundcards. It is not good when alsactl
is called multiple times from udev. Also, selinux can deny
access to non-existent devices.

The CD analog playback line is seldom used these days, as all
modern players rip the CD and use the DAC on the sound card.
In addition, it causes background hum on some machines.
Therefore keep it muted by default.

After the previous patch to install udev rules it is impossible to do a
non-root, custom-prefix make install. This is generally not a problem
when building official packages but it can be a pain for developers
and debuggers etc.
This is essentially the same patch as was already made in PulseAudio
in commit e8a5746f2fcae59bfd18d39b621509b3ef130453.

.... and add configure switch for it.
/etc might be on a read-only partition which is not suitable for dynamic
data such as the mixer settings. Hence move the location of asound.state
to /var/lib.
This is based on a patch from Ubuntu/Debian which hardcoded the pah in
/var/lib.

Add minimal systemd and udev support to alsactl so that mixer settings
are restored at boot, when sound cards are plugged in and saved on
shutdown.
This is similar to existing udev/init script solutions in various
distributions.
Note that alsactl is called both synchronously from the udev rules as
well as asynchronously at boot. This is intended, and to ensure two
things:
- At boot the asound.state file might not be readable, since it resides
on a different file system. That means exclusively restoring sound card
settings from udev rules will no suffice, since if the rule is
executed at early boot (for example within udev settle) then the file
will no be readable and cannot be restored.
- We need to ensure that applications monitoring sound cards coming and
going (such as PA) must not get these events before the mixer settings
have been restored. That means the mixer settings must be restored
synchronously withing the udev rules, before the events are passed on
to the apps.
That basically means we need to restore the settings once in udev, to
deal with sound cards becoming available during runtime. And once in
early boot to deal with coldplugged soundcards whose data files might
not have been available at time of plugging. Hence we call alsactl
twice: one from the udev rule, and once from he systemd unit file.

When the range of a control has changed between driver versions, it is a
good idea to restore the same dB value of the control. However,
computing the dB value by interpolating betweem the min/max dB values
duplicates alsa-lib's TLV functions and does not even work for controls
with a linear dB range.
A simple conversion to dB and back can be done if we add the dB value(s)
to the saved state.
