this makes efl ignore certain env vars for thnigs and entirely removes
user modules (that no one ever used) etc. etc. to ensure that *IF* an
app is setuid, there isn't a priv escalation path that is easy.
so firstly the module loading logic in emotion is pretty bad. it
forcible loads into memory (dlopen + run code from) EVERY emotion
module whenever you use emotion anywhere. this is a fat memory cost and
startup cost. it should not ever have done this. so remove that code
and make it explicitly load only the backend requested and fall back
to using what is compiled in (generic by default) and otherwise
generic as a module, then xine, then gstreamer then gstreamer1.
gstreamer1 seems broke - all i see is a black box (no video).
this also fixes a deadlock problem. if you have BOTH gstreamer AND
gstreamer1 modules loaded i get a deadlock inside glib. this seemingly
fixes it as it'll only load the first one it finds, not both (unless
explicitly requested).
Being annoyed by different types of eina critical macros - CRI, CRIT,
CRITICAL -, I concluded to unify them to one. Discussed on IRC and
finally, CRI was chosen to meet the consistency with other macros -
ERR, WRN, INF, DBG - in terms of the number of characters.
If there is any missing bits, please let me know.
Change the module infra and allow one to register using the
description structure itself, saves some work.
Replace module_open and module_close with add() and del(), that are
more descriptive.
Move stuff to init/shutdown where it was a better fit.
Since add() now receives the first parameter being the owning
structure we can create one structure per generic player and they will
merge transparently with other modules, then we can use a simple
algorithm that considers the plugin priority. ALL DYNAMIC!
Future work could be done to load the plugin priority specified by
user from configuration file. But this is not in my plans right now.

Removed the engine handling out from smart object, later the module
API will change and we'll be able to simplify many things.
My plan is to allow generic players to register along as regular
modules.

* emotion_init() and emotion_shutdown() now exist, let's do our
initialization from there.
* smart_add/smart_free will call init/shutdown for legacy apps.
* use eina_prefix to determine runtime location.
* use eina_module_arch_list_get()

this one was quite a huge work, but hopefully it's correct.
NOTES:
* removed vlc generic module, it should go into a separate package.
* gstreamer is enabled by default (see --disable-gstreamer)
* xine is disabled by default (see --enable-gstreamer)
* generic is always built statically if supported
* gstreamer and xine can't be configured as static (just lacks command line options, build system supports it)
* v4l2 is enabled by default on linux if eeze is built (see --disable-v4l2)
* emotion_test moved to src/tests/emotion and depends on EFL_ENABLE_TESTS (--with-tests), but is still installed if enabled.
TODO (need your help!):
* fix warnings with gstreamer and xine engine
* call engine shutdown functions if building as static
* remove direct usage of PACKAGE_*_DIR and use eina_prefix
* add eina_prefix checkme file as evas and others
* add support for $EFL_RUN_IN_TREE
* create separate package for emotion_generic_modules
* check docs hierarchy (doxygen is segv'in here)
