begin work on sampling API

This is motivated by the need to be able to sample with arbitrary feature data
(e.g. from a feature file) against a database, for the JNMR "collections" paper
revisions or possible ISMIR paper revisions.  That bit doesn't work yet, but
the C-ified version of the current functionality (sample db x db and
sample key x db) works to the level of anecdotal tests.

The general approach is to mirror the _query_spec() API, where a whole heap
of knobs and twiddles are available to the user.  Unlike in the _query_spec()
API, not quite all of the knobs make sense (and even fewer are actually
implemented), but the basic idea is the same.

I pity the poor chump who will have to document all this.

  if(index == (uint32_t) -1) {
    return 1;
  } else {
    return audiodb_track_id_datum(adb, index, datum);
  }
}

int audiodb_free_datum(adb_t *adb, adb_datum_t *datum) {
  return audiodb_really_free_datum(datum);
