This PR is about implementing a plugin framework (in the conventional sense).

See #3742 for further context.

This PR introduces the following murmur config options:

  • pluginmessagelimit
  • pluginmessageburst

API:

  • Finalize API to include all requirements listed in the linked issue
  • Discuss the naming conventions (use custom or try to use names as close as possible to the TS API)
  • If using TS names: Provide macros that can be used to transform the implementing function names to either follow the TS naming scheme (prefixed by e.g. ts3plugin_) or Mumble naming scheme (?)).
  • Let the API be thoroughly reviewed

Implementation:

  • Write (wrapper-)classes to handle plugins inside Mumble
  • Replace the current Plugins class in Mumble
  • Redirect events from Mumble to the plugin-callbacks
  • Write MumbleAPI for use by plugins
  • Write example plugin
  • Write test-cases
  • Implement move to password-protected channel
  • Implement plugin update
  • Port to cmake
  • Use Poco instead of QuaZip
  • Unload plugin's library if plugin is unloaded/shutdown via settings window
  • Make all locks non re-entrant and narrow locking scopes
  • Expose user's comment to plugin API
  • Expose user and server hash to plugin API
  • Expose "silence below", "speech above", "voice hold" settings to plugin API (Programmatically setting Silence Below, Speech Above, and voice hold #4419)
  • Explain PCM format
  • Include sample rate in the audio callback parameters
  • Rework how Strings can be passed to Mumble from the plugin so that they don't have to be static (as e.g. Rust doesn't support static strings)
  • Rate-limit plugin-messages (Plugin framework #3743 (comment))
  • Verify that plugin auto-updates are functional (Plugin framework #3743 (comment))
  • Add functionality to unload a plugin from the UI
  • Add functionality to trigger plugin installer from UI
  • Store name of API functions a given resource is allocated in so that this can be printed in the "leaked memory" message (Bug: Memory leaks reported by mumble hbeni/fgcom-mumble#81 (comment))

Fixes #2455
Fixes #2148

I have some fairly large questions about the audio callbacks in terms of where they occur within the audio processing system. I think we need to understand fully where these callbacks occur to make sure that they are affecting the sound data at a useful point in the system.

API change

The data and ID field for the API::sendData function are now hard-limited to 1KB and 100 bytes respectively (to avoid eating up all available bandwidth with them).

The deed is done!
After more than 1.5 years of development I consider this feature to be ready for merge. There are obviously still some things that can be improved upon and also lots of functionality that the framework could be extended to support, but this should be done at a later point in order to make sure that the first version of the plugin framework finally gets merged and is therefore available to our users.

I think the next milestone is the snapshot-phase in which users will test out the upcoming Mumble snapshots (that will include this framework) to see if the implementation broke any functionality.

Furthermore I will have to sit down and write some documentation on the entire thing so that it is as easy to use as possible.

Let's hope that it'll be put to good use! 🚀

API change

The API functions to get and set int settings have been changed to use int64_t instead of int in order to make sure that the size of the used parameter remains the same on all platforms.

FEAT(client): Plugin framework
27dbee8 
This commit introduces a new plugin framework into the codebase of the
Mumble client. Note that "plugin" here really refers to a (more or less)
general purpose plugin and is therefore not to be confused with the
previously available positional data plugins (only responsible for
fetching positional data from a running game and passing that to
Mumble).

The plugin interface is written in C, removing the compiler-dependence
the old "plugins" had. Instead plugins can now be written in an
arbitrary language as long as that language is capable of being compiled
into a shared library and also being capable of being C-compatible.

As already indicated a plugin is essentially a shared library that
provides certain functions that allow Mumble to interface with it.

Inside Mumble the so-called PluginManager is responsible for managing
the plugins and relaying events to the respective callbacks. Plugins
themselves can also interact with Mumble on their own initiative by
using the provided API functions.
