Merge topic branch t/btr into master

Some helpers such as btr_get_input_queue_size() are very expensive
if the buffer tree contains many buffers, which is the case for mp3
and aac streams. This is noticeable in particular with para_play,
which spends more time in the btr subsystem than in the mp3 decoder
if the file is large enough. This branch contains a few patches to
improve that.

Cooking for four months.
