Cooking for two months. This merge required to also patch gui.c due
to semantic conflics against the changes introduced by the gui_sched
branch which was merged to master in commit d15d8509 two weeks ago.
Also a small fix for server.c is needed to squelch a compiler warning
since the global "now" variable has become a const pointer.

* t/sched_improvements: (36 commits)
  audiod: Fix use after free on exit.
  sched: Mark global now pointer as const.
  sched: Directly pass context pointer to pre/post_select().
  sched: kill task->dead.
  sched: Do not shadow task_info in struct task.
  sched: Dont use fixed-size buffer for task names.
  sched: Rename task->error to tast->status.
  sched: Rename task->status to task->name.
  sched: Make struct task private to sched.c.
  sched: Introduce task_status().
  sched: Remove ->owned_by_sched.
  sched: Remove register_task().
  task_register() conversion: grab client task
  task_register() conversion: audiod status task
  task_register() conversion: audiod command task
  task_register() conversion: client task
  task_register() conversion: client supervisor task
  task_register() conversion: client exec task
  task_register() conversion: afs command task
  task_register() conversion: vss task

 + *
 + * \param argc Usual argument count.
 + * \param argv Usual argument vector.
 + *
 + * After initialization para_gui registers the following tasks to the paraslash
 + * scheduler: status, exec, signal, input.
 + *
 + * The status task executes the para_audioc stat command to obtain the status
 + * of para_server and para_audiod, and displays this information in the top
 + * window of para_gui.
 + *
 + * The exec task is responsible for printing the output of the currently
 + * running executable to the bottom window.
 + *
 + * The signal task performs suitable actions according to any signals received.
 + * For example it refreshes all windows on terminal size changes and resets the
 + * terminal on \p SIGTERM.
 + *
 + * The input task reads single key strokes from stdin. For each key pressed, it
 + * executes the command handler associated with this key.
 + *
 + * \return \p EXIT_SUCCESS or \p EXIT_FAILURE.
