Update to 2.2.0. Tested by kim@, fixes PR 28835.

****New features for 2.2 (in no particular order):****

- Theora Video support -
Icecast now supports video streaming via theora.  Currently, we require the latest
(alpha 4) version of libtheora.  This is an optional compile, so if you don't
have theora then icecast will safely ignore it

- Shoutcast style source client support -
Icecast now supports the connection protocol used by the Shoutcast DSP source
client.  This is the same connection protocol used by their NSV encoding tools.
This means that not only can you use the Shoutcast DSP to stream to icecast, but
that you can also stream NSV via their tools.

- AAC is added as a supported streaming format -
Not too many source clients support streaming in this format, but we support it.

- Cluster password -
Now you can specify a cluster password as a <mount> option in the config. This
will allow you to cluster multiple servers/mounts into a single listing on the
stream directory.  Note that this is different than "grouping" which groups together
streams coming from the same physical IP and with the same stream name.  Clusters
are meant for relays of the same stream and will only be listed *once* in the stream
directory.  When a listener tunes into a cluster, they will be served an m3u file
with all the clusters for that stream.

- Playlist Log -
This is an option setting that will create an audit trail of metadata that comes through
icecast.  It is a single file that contains information for all mountpoints.

- Range Support for static files -
We now support seeking in files served off the icecast fserve.

- Metadata Update via Admin -
We now support metadata updates via the admin interface for both MP3 AND Ogg Vorbis
streams.

- Per mount hidden stats and YP prevention -
You many now indicate certains mounts to be excluded (i.e. hidden) from the main
status.xsl page.  This is useful when using local private relays.  You can also
override the YP setting (as in disable) on a per-mount basis.  Also useful for
local private relays.

- Multiple example config files -
We now have multiple config files for you to use as a base.  A "simple" one for
quick-start, and a more detailed "advanced" one with all the features, as well
as a "shoutcast compatable" one, which shows how you'd config for using the
shoutcast DSP.

- Relay user/pass -
You can now specify authentication used by a relay.  This is for the case where
you have listener authentication enabled for a mountpoint, and want to connect
a relay to it.
