output: use the software mixer plugin
Do all the software volume stuff inside each output thread, not in the player thread. This allows one software mixer per output device, and also allows the user to configure the mixer type (hardware or software) for each audio output. This moves the global "mixer_type" setting into the "audio_output" section, deprecating the "mixer_enabled" flag.
