Revert "Input options inheritance for playlists"

Blindly inheriting options from a playlist to the playlist items leads
to several variants of the same vulnerability, whereby an option
intended solely for the playlist is wrongly given to the items:

1) Unsafe options.
2) Options conveying private data such as credentials.

As an example, consider the case of a playlist served over HTTP and
protected by username/password. The HTTP credentials must not be passed
to playlist items, which may well be in a different HTTP domain.
(Instead, the VLC key store should be used and do the right thing.)

This reverts commit 4db1802cf69e67756798b50c54b4030d11de11ee.
