I've attached the preliminary result from the rewrite.  Nearly
everything I've tested so far seems to work, with the exception of
track info.  Track info is gathered correctly, but it is set "too
late" for the track description function to get to it.

I experimented with adding a call to (emms-track-updated track) to
`emms-info-mpd-1', but the results were painful, so I left it out.  I
might try modifying emms-info to be callback-capable at some point, so
that it can work with emms-info-mpd.

The good thing is that it should never truncate results anymore, and
emms-player-mpd-connect was able to successfully import a 335-line
playlist that I threw at it.
