 Command Line Interface for VLC

 This is a modules/control/oldrc.c look alike (with a bunch of new features).
 It also provides a VLM interface copied from the telnet interface.

 Use on local term:
    vlc -I cli
 Use on tcp connection:
    vlc -I cli --lua-config "cli={host='localhost:4212'}"
 Use on telnet connection:
    vlc -I cli --lua-config "cli={host='telnet://localhost:4212'}"
 Use on multiple hosts (term + plain tcp port + telnet):
    vlc -I cli --lua-config "cli={hosts={'*console','localhost:4212','telnet://localhost:5678'}}"

 Note:
    -I cli and -I luacli are aliases for -I luaintf --lua-intf cli

 Configuration options settable through the --lua-config option are:
    * hosts: A list of hosts to listen on.
    * host: A host to listen on. (won't be used if `hosts' is set)
    * password: The password used for telnet clients.
 The following can be set using the --lua-config option or in the interface
 itself using the `set' command:
    * prompt: The prompt.
    * welcome: The welcome message.
    * width: The default terminal width (used to format text).
    * autocompletion: When issuing an unknown command, print a list of
                      possible commands to autocomplete with. (0 to disable,
                      1 to enable).
    * autoalias: If autocompletion returns only one possibility, use it
                 (0 to disable, 1 to enable).
    * flatplaylist: 0 to disable, 1 to enable.
