Synopsis: Refactoring dynamic menu code; changes Favorites
to use ListStore

Overview:
   This represents an attempt in refactoring common dynamic
menu code
   between playlistdialog and mainapp into its own file.
   It is also one step in breaking up the 6500+ lines
mainapp.cpp into
   multiple files structure.

   File Menu's Recent URLs and Playlist dialog box's new
Recent URLs
   are already based on GtkListStore.
   This checkin changes Favorites store from doubly-linked
list to
   GtkListStore, so that all dynamic menu manipulation can
share the
   same facility.

   Using GtkListStore for all also enable MVC (Model View
Controller)
   paradigm to work better.

   In the future, save and load URLs from playlist file
formats can be done
   by taking GtkListStore as input, enabling more code
sharing between
   Playlist Dialog and Favorites.

   Renamed the previous:
     hmw_play_and_monitor()
   to:
     hx_dyn_menu_play_and_monitor_setup()
   to reflect the usage more accurately.
   Also, further simplied the mechanism to use a single
callback with
   play_succeeded function argument.

   This change also added saving and reloading of Title
metadata into
   File Menu's Recent URLs.
   This results in a change in [recent_urls] format in
~/.hxplayerrc and
   ~/.realplayerrc files.
   These files need to be deleted (player reset) when
transitioning between
   the existing players using the older format and newer
players using
   different format. At least, the [recent_urls] section
needs to be removed.
