The original reason to abort ezstream when running into problems opening a media

file was to prevent a very verbose infinite loop (e.g. when accidentially
playing an outdated playlist.) Bring that back by aborting after 100 subsequent
errors.

              Failure to open a resource (e.g. a media file) is no longer fatal

  * src/playlist.c:
    - [MISC]  Consider no output from a playlist program to be equivalent to an
              empty line, indicating that the end of the playlist is reached.
