libmediaplayerservice: offload playback support

Main change is to how recycled tracks are used for gapless
playback. If we are playing offloaded tracks that can't be
recycled we don't open a new offloaded output until we have
closed the previous one. This is because offloaded tracks
are a limited resource so we don't want to spuriously create
unnecessary instances. If the tracks cannot be recycled
this means that the formats are incompatible and so the
hardware most likely will also be unable to use the existing
output channel for the new track. If we already have the
maximum number of hardware offload channels open (which could
be only one) then creation of the next output would fail if
we attempted it while the previous output was still open.
