API for retrieving a track's data.

A new function, audiodb_retrieve_datum() fills a provided adb_datum_t
structure with the data corresponding to a given database key; the
companion audiodb_free_datum() function frees the data in a given datum
appropriately.

Just in case, I continue to require passing in the adb_t * as the first
argument to audiodb_free_datum(), even though it's not currently used:
I couldn't convince myself that _all_ possible implementations could
free a datum without reference to the adb_t.

This meant rewriting the internal code to use a new internal
audiodb_really_free_datum() function, which audiodb_free_datum() also
calls.

Sanity-checked by implementing a binding in sb-alien to this function,
lightly-tested.

All this fixes ticket:20 in Trac.
