We need to initialize the AudioUnit early to be able to probe the
underlying device, but according to the AudioUnitInitialize() and
AudioUnitUninitialize() documentation, format changes should be done
while the AudioUnit is uninitialized. So we explicitly uninitialize the
AudioUnit during a format change and reinitialize it when we're done.
- Probing caps is unified between source and sink
- Hardware stream format is now reported as preferred capabilities
(dynamically updated when hardware configuration changes)
- Get hardware channel layout from Remote IO just like from HAL
- More comprehensive mapping between AudioChannelLabel and
GstAudioChannelPosition
- Support for unpositioned channel layouts
- Announce stereo-mono upmixing/downmixing in caps

AudioUnitGetProperty would fail with kParamErr (-50) every time,
simply because size wasn't initialized.
Now it returns zero latency, but at least it doesn't fail.

Now that device selection has no sink/source-specific bits, we can have
generic device selection for this path. We do need to now track state
changes so we can look up the final device_id once the device is open,
though.
