Reworks to the shuffle system to improve performance and allow fast shuffling from a big library (but this work for all database views)

This improvement brings a huge performance improvement to start a random mix of your library. Previously, the only way to do this was to increase the size of a playlist with absurd sizes number. Now it will respect the limitation but will insert random songs from the current view.

Database: Add true random songs in playlist if it is gonna exceed its maximum capacity

More context is available here : https://www.reddit.com/r/rockbox/comments/1ez0mq4/i_developped_true_full_library_shuffle_for/

Also :
- Improved layout in the DB browser
- New default max playlists capacity is now 2000 on old PortalPlayer targets to give a better user experience and not having to wait dozens of seconds while creating a playlist
- "Show insert shuffled" option is now true by default
- Add a new shortcut to play all songs shuffled in the DB browser
- Now the feature is fully optional and enabled only on targets that have more than 2MB of RAM
- Add entries about this feature in the manual to explain it to the users
