pulseaudio: 6.0 -> 8.0

Release notes for 7.0:

Release notes for 8.0:
https://wiki.freedesktop.org/www/Software/PulseAudio/Notes/8.0/

7.0 added support for soxr resamplers, but neither oe-core nor meta-oe
have libsoxr packaged. The default resampler is still speexdsp based,
so most people wouldn't be using the soxr resamplers anyway. If
someone cares enough to package soxr, then we can enable the feature.

Bash completions moved in 7.0 from /etc to the standard location under
/usr/share/bash-completion. We now use the bash-completion class to
package the completion files.

The private library libpulsecore moved from /usr/lib to
/usr/lib/pulseaudio.

The new routing features advertised in the 8.0 release notes are
reverted for now, because they caused regressions. I'll remove the
revert once a proper fix is available.

Removed two patches, because they are included in the new release.

Rebased three patches.

Updated Upstream-Status tags to reflect the current situation.

 interfere with other users' PulseAudio instances, but in embedded
 environments where only root exists, autospawning is fine.
 
-Upstream-Status: Submitted [http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.audio.pulseaudio.general/23549]
+Upstream-Status: Denied [Upstream hasn't so far been convinced that
+this feature is needed. The view is that running the graphical session
+as root doesn't make sense even on embedded systems, or if it does,
+running PulseAudio in the system mode should be a good solution for
+that use case. If someone can prove otherwise, the patch would
+probably be accepted.]
