* Enhance allocation function comments to better state the return value and what an invalid value is
* Change clients to check for "< 0" instead of "<= 0" or "== 0"
* Return -1 or -2 depending on the exact failure in buflib_alloc_ex.

due to lack of user feedback the actual tags may change, hopefully not though.
The way it works is the skin specifies a rectangle and a viewport label. For each item in the list that is being displayed all viewports with the specified label are drawn. However, instead of the viewport x/y position being offset from the top left corner like normal they are offset from the rectangle position in the list (so think of them as child-viewports of the rectangle which moves).
Normally the rectangle will move down the screen to show a normal list, this can be changed to move across the screen in a grid pattern.
The UI viewport is used to bound the items (i.e %Vi() )
Scrolling is completly disabled in all items except the currently selected item.
This works well in combination with the %cs tag to show differently styled lists based on the current screen :)
New tags:
%LT - Get the current items text
%LI - Get the current items icon number
%Lc - Use as a conditional to determine if the current item is the selected item
%LB - BAR TAG to show the scroll bar, params/options like other bar types. It still needs a bit of work though. Use as a conditional to find out if the bar is actually needed
%Lb(viewport, width, height [,tile]) - specify the viewport label to draw for each item and the size of each item. if the last param is 'tile' it will form a grid instead of a list
example.sbs:
%?cs<%Lb(a,100,20)|>
%V(0,0,10,-,1)%Vf(aabbcc)
%?LB<%LB(0,0,10,185, invert)>
%Vi(-,10,0,-,-35,1)
%Vl(a,5,5,160,12,1)
%s%?Lc<%Vg(00ffaa, ff0000, 000000)%Vs(gradient)%>%>%>%ac>zzzzzzz %LT zzzzz%s%?Lc<%ar%<%<%<>
%V(0,185,-,-,1)
%s%LT

Also add two dircache function, one of which does what dircache_disable()
did previously as this now also frees the dircache buffer.

buflib_get_data() isn't inlined for plugins anymore, but can be if really needed.

This enables the ability to allocate (and free) memory dynamically
without fragmentation, through compaction. This means allocations can move
and fragmentation be reduced. Most changes are preparing Rockbox for this,
which many times means adding a move callback which can temporarily disable
movement when the corresponding code is in a critical section.
For now, the audio buffer allocation has a central role, because it's the one
having allocated most. This buffer is able to shrink itself, for which it
needs to stop playback for a very short moment. For this,
audio_buffer_available() returns the size of the audio buffer which can
possibly be used by other allocations because the audio buffer can shrink.
lastfm scrobbling and timestretch can now be toggled at runtime without
requiring a reboot.

The buflib memory allocator is handle based and can free and
compact, move or resize memory on demand. This allows to effeciently
allocate memory dynamically without an MMU, by avoiding fragmentation
through memory compaction.
This patch adds the buflib library to the core, along with
convinience wrappers to omit the context parameter. Compaction is
not yet enabled, but will be in a later patch. Therefore, this acts as a
replacement for buffer_alloc/buffer_get_buffer() with the benifit of a debug
menu.
See buflib.h for some API documentation.
