decoder/faad: remove workaround for ancient libfaad2 ABI bug

Many years ago, FAAD had a serious ABI bug: the NeAACDecInit()
prototype in its header declared the "samplerate" parameter to be
"unsigned long *", but internally, the function assumed it was
"uint32_t *" instead.  On 32 bit machines, that was no difference, but
on 64 bit, this left one portion of the return value uninitialized;
and worse, on big-endian, the wrong word was filled.  This bug had to
be worked around in MPD (commit 9c4e97a6).

A few months later, the bug was fixed in the FAAD CVS in commit 1.117
on file libfaad/decoder.c; the commit message was:

 "Use public headers internally to prevent duplicate declarations"

The commit message was too brief at best; the problem was not
duplicate declarations, but a prototype mismatch.  No mention of the
bug fix in the ChangeLog.

The MPD project never learned about this bug fix, and so MPD would
always pass a "uin32_t *" dressed up as a "unsigned long *".  Nearly 6
years later, it's about time to fix this second ABI problem.  Let's
kill the workaround!
