[RFC BlueZ v1] media-api: Add org.bluez.MediaLibrary1

[Luiz Augusto von Dentz <luiz.dentz@gmail.com>]

From: Luiz Augusto von Dentz <luiz.von.dentz@intel.com>

This interface adds support for browsing and searching in the player's
storage using AVRCP 1.4/1.5.

Some remarks about the design:

  - Exposing UIDCounter and UIDs was considered, but the spec seems to have
    missed to define the player's id persistency. There are also the fact that
    UIDCounter alone does not guarantee persistency across sessions and do not
    provide what exact items have changed, so in the end exposing these
    details will bring almost no value.
  - Indexing or caching the whole media library is not recommended, Bluetooth
    is too slow for that and even vendors such as Apple do not recommend doing
    it, so the only items keep in cache are the current listed ones.
  - Addressed vs Browsed player is done implicitly when accessed, this was done
    to simplify the API and avoid confusions between applications and players.

v1: Rename to MediaLibrary and add versioning, also rename Properties filter
to attributes and don't use camel case for values.
