directory: serialize song deletes from playlist during update
This makes the update code thread-safe and doesn't penalize the playlist code by complicating it with complicated and error-prone locks (and the associated overhead, not everybody has a thread-implementation as good as NPTL). The update task blocks during the delete; but the update task is a slow task anyways so we can block w/o people caring too much. This was also our only freeSong call site, so remove that function. Note that deleting entire directories is not fully thread-safe, yet; as their traversals are not yet locked.
