Leandro Pereira 314b8a374b SoundPlayer: Implement playlist shuffle mode ...

The shuffling algorithm uses a naïve bloom filter to provide random
uniformity, avoiding items that were recently played.  With 32 bits,
double hashing, and an error rate of ~10%, this bloom filter should
be able to hold around ~16 keys, which should be sufficient to give the
illusion of fairness to the shuffling algorithm.

This avoids having to shuffle the playlist itself (user might have
spent quite a bit of time to sort them, so it's not a good idea to mess
with it), or having to create a proxy model that shuffles (that could
potentially use quite a bit of memory).
