SqlScanResultProcessor: debugging; not intended to be merged to master


SqlScanResultProcessor: don't accidentally delete tracks, defensive rewrite

This fixes data-loss that I can trigger every time by toggling "Local
Files & USB Mass Storage Backend" in Config -> Plugins, restarting
Amarok and triggering collection update / rescan.

In theory, more things such as cloning changing disk could trigger this
problem, from SqlScanResultProcessor::deleteDeletedDirectories() comment:

We need to match directories by their (absolute) path, otherwise following
scenario triggers statistics loss (bug 298275):

1. user relocates collection to different filesystem, but clones path structure
   or toggles MassStorageDeviceHandler enabled in Config -> plugins.
2. collectionscanner knows nothings about directory ids, so it doesn't detect
   any track changes and emits a bunch of skipped (unchanged) dirs with no
   tracks.
3. SqlRegistry::getDirectory() called there from returns different directory id
   then in past.
4. deleteDeletedDirectories() is called, and if it operates on directory ids,
   it happily removes _all_ directories, taking tracks with it.
5. Tracks disappear from the UI until full rescan, stats, lyrics, labels are
   lost forever.

Also add a handful of asserts, ScanResultProcessor is very complicated
and small error or corner-case in logic may result in horrible data
losses.

Reporters of linked bugs, please try to reproduce your data-loss with
this patch applied and report back in both cases. In negative case,
please reopen and attach full updated amarok --debug log.

After this patch, only (statistics, lyrics and labels)-loss operations
should be:
 a) moving track out of mounted collection folders [by design]
 b) changing both metadata and url from outside of a track not tagged
    by amarok_afttagger [we can do nothing about this]

BUG: 298275

SqlMeta::Track: remove unused methods deviceId() and rpath()

There will be made misleading by the next commit, so better not to have
them at all. id() and urlId() are unused, too, but these are at least
in theory useful.

SqlScanResultProcessor: remove dead code, sanitize includes


SqlRegistry, DatabaseUpdater: delete stats and everything in removeTrack()

SqlRegistry::removeTrack() had code to remove the entry from the tracks
table and to preserve the entry in the statistics table. This doesn't
work, because SqlRegistry construction calls
DatabaseUpdater::deleteAllRedundant( url ) on next start-up that
removes the url entry, plus we don't know how long we should keep the
entry, so we just delete everything. ScanResultProcessor should be
witty enough not to delete tracks that have been moved to another
directory and/or device, even if it is currently unavailable.

Additionally, we clean up the statistics, urls_labels, lyrics tables
on start-up to avoid stale entries (pointing to deleted url) in a way
similar to what it is done with other tables.

SqlScanResultProcessor: rename attributes in preparation for a fix

...because I was really confused by the old names.
