Beta 0.0.19c (via non-published repo)

- Add JazzRadio.fr and their 30+ themed channels

Turns out that jazzradio.fr uses the same underlying song metadata
structure as RadioEspace / Allzic radio ... not a big surprise as I
looked a bit more deeply and saw that they have the same owner.
Strange thing is that jazzradio fails to show song data on their web
site, apart from the main broadcast channel.

I also found their XML file that lists of the stations and some
attributes - so I moved to use that rather than my hand-crafted list.
Having found that file, I then looked for something similar on
RadioEspace and found it ... so switched to that as well.

Listeners would already have been getting artist & song info because it
is in the embedded stream metadata ... but now with this plugin they
will get the cover art that the station uses themselves plus where there
is no art (they do not have it for all) and provided I can spot that
they have provided a placeholder image, then I do a coversearch and
fairly frequently find one.
