For channels that have a defined dB range, use that instead of the raw
volume range when calculating the volume percent.
Also use the same logic as alsamixer when calculating the percent from
the dB values: assume a linear scale if the dB range is “small
enough”, and otherwise normalize it against a logarithmic scale.
With this, yambar’s “percent” value matches alsamixer’s exactly.
The ‘volume’ tag remains unchanged - it always reflects the raw volume
values.
Instead, we add a new tag ‘dB’, that reflects the dB values.

These options allows you to select which channel to use as volume
source, and which channel to use as the source for the muted state.
With this, we can also remove the check for *all* (playback) channels
having the same volume/muted state. And with that, we no longer need
to warn when not all channels have the same volume/muted state.
With this patch, a non-existing ALSA device is no longer considered a
fatal error. Instead, we keep retrying until we succeed.
Furthermore, if we have successfully opened the ALSA device, and it
then disappears, we a) no longer crash, or cause 100% CPU usage, and
b) try to re-connect to the device.
With this, we now handle e.g. USB soundcards being disconnected and
then re-connected. We should also handle pseudo devices, like pipewire
provides ones, when yambar is started before pipewire.
