    obs-studio UI: Implement stream settings UI · 8830c410

     - Updated the services API so that it links up with an output and
       the output gets data from that service rather than via settings.
       This allows the service context to have control over how an output is
       used, and makes it so that the URL/key/etc isn't necessarily some
       static setting.
    
       Also, if the service is attached to an output, it will stick around
       until the output is destroyed.
    
     - The settings interface has been updated so that it can allow the
       usage of service plugins.  What this means is that now you can create
       a service plugin that can control aspects of the stream, and it
       allows each service to create their own user interface if they create
       a service plugin module.
    
     - Testing out saving of current service information.  Saves/loads from
       JSON in to obs_data_t, seems to be working quite nicely, and the
       service object information is saved/preserved on exit, and loaded
       again on startup.
    
     - I agonized over the settings user interface for days, and eventually
       I just decided that the only way that users weren't going to be
       fumbling over options was to split up the settings in to simple/basic
       output, pre-configured, and then advanced for advanced use (such as
       multiple outputs or services, which I'll implement later).
    
       This was particularly painful to really design right, I wanted more
       features and wanted to include everything in one interface but
       ultimately just realized from experience that users are just not
       technically knowledgable about it and will end up fumbling with the
       settings rather than getting things done.
    
       Basically, what this means is that casual users only have to enter in
       about 3 things to configure their stream:  Stream key, audio bitrate,
       and video bitrate.  I am really happy with this interface for those
       types of users, but it definitely won't be sufficient for advanced
       usage or for custom outputs, so that stuff will have to be separated.
    
     - Improved the JSON usage for the 'common streaming services' context,
       I realized that JSON arrays are there to ensure sorting, while
       forgetting that general items are optimized for hashing.  So
       basically I'm just using arrays now to sort items in it.
