#386: De-entangle reset_encoder and metadata...

------------------------+---------------------------------------------------
There is a historic confusion in the encoding process. Because we were
focused on ogg and mp3 encoder do not need to be reset, we have an
implicit semantics confusion between {{reset_encoder}} functions and new
metadata: each time a new metadata passes, we call {{reset_encoder}}...
This is not correct. For instance, when icecast fails to send and reset
the encoder, this is a real reset that should not be treated as for
metadata updates.
Now that we have many formats, we cannot afford anymore this confusion.
For intance, WAV and external encoded formats will need a real reset when
icecast restarts the connection but do not reset on new metadata..
Therefore, for 1.0, we should have a clear distinction between updating
metadata, which may need to restart the encoder in some cases specific to
the encoder and a real reset, which should be unconditional.
