#250: Too much metadatas received with input.http

Hello,
Using input.http and Shoutcast, input.http receives metadata all the time
(up to 30 times per second). When one tries to use the on_metadata event,
the event is thus called numerous time per second in that case.
For example :
If Liquidsoap uses input.http to receive a stream from a Shoutcast Server
(sc_serv), it will receive metadata all the time, and pass them all to
on_metadata.
As a consequence, let's say you have : radio = on_metadata(metas,radio)
and def metas(m)
system("echo m['title'] >> blah.txt")
end
Your blah.txt will grow with hundreds of lines in just a few seconds.
Eventually, Liquidsoap may even crash after a few minutes (perhaps because
of the load of doing the metas function so many times per second.
I suggest forcing liquidsoap to pass metadatas to on_metadata() only when
the new metadata received is different from the former one.
