19b92e1199 playlist: Improve speed in PlaylistQuery class
Implement the col_clause method for faster, sqlite-based querying. This
will only make a difference if the "fast" kwarg is set to True.

a80a07f093 playlist: Add playlist plugin
Adds M3U playlist support as a query to beets and thus partially
resolves issue #123. The implementation is heavily based on #2380 by
Robin McCorkell.

It supports referencing playlists by absolute path:

    $ beet ls playlist:/path/to/someplaylist.m3u

It also supports referencing playlists by name. The playlist is then
seached in the playlist_dir and the ".m3u" extension is appended to the
name:

    $ beet ls playlist:anotherplaylist

The configuration for the plugin looks like this:

    playlist:
        relative_to: library
        playlist_dir: /path/to/playlists

The relative_to option specifies how relative paths in playlists are
handled. By default, paths are relative to the "library" directory. It
also possible to make them relative to the "playlist" or set the option
or set it to a fixed path.
