PipeWire 0.3.19

This is a bugfix release that is API and ABI compatible
with previous 0.3.x releases.

- Highlights
  - Startup after login should be fixed now with inotify
    used to wait for permissions.
  - Channels should be mapped correctly now.
  - Many bluetooth improvements in LDAC, AptX-HD. AAC was
    also added. Headsets should work better now.
  - pipewire-libpulse was removed. It is now completely
    replaced by pipewire-pulse.
  - Fix a crasher bug in pipewire-pulse and some memory leaks.
  - Fix a bug with feedback loop that would cause 100% CPU.
  - A new pw-top tool to display real-time graph performance.
  - The example session manager now has config files.
  - The config file format was changed to use the SPA JSON
    tokenizer. This makes it more flexible and extensible.

- PipeWire improvements
  - Fix debug of id in format channels
  - Audioconvert should now remap channels correctly in all
    cases.
  - Feedback loops were not scheduled correctly and would
    cause 100% CPU usage.
  - Small improvements to the profiler to also log incomplete
    graph status.
  - a new tool pw-top was added that prints real-time performance
    stats of the graph.
  - the rtkit module now sets the nice level to -11

- Session-manager
  - The session manager would sometimes link dont-reconnect
    nodes to another node, which would leak monitor streams in
    pipewire-pulse.
  - The session manager now has configuration files. Config files
    can also be placed in the user home directory to make custom
    configurations.
  - The session managers now creates unique device and node
    names for alsa and v4l2 devices.

- Device support
  - Many improvements in Bluetooth codecs, LDAC stuttering,
    AptX-HD negotiation, LDAC ABR support
  - Bluetooth supports AAC audio now.
  - Many fixes to Bluetooth SCO transport used in headsets.
  - inotify support in device monitors
  - ACP was synced with the latest pulseaudio code
  - Fix a bug in enumeration of device ports.

- PulseAudio server
  - seek flags and offset are now supported, making gstreamer
    pulse elements work better.
  - Fix a crasher bug in pipewire-pulse, we sometimes would
    write too much to the ringbuffer
  - Fix some memory leaks in error cases.
  - Fix handling of NULL string to locate default sink/source

- JACK layer
  - Ports can also be found with the aliases now, making
    qjackctl work in more cases.
