Import iTunes DB
Extend the external database importer to include iTunes database.
This can either be done by reading the XML, or by using a database API (if available). Choose the method that is the fastest, but does not lock the GUI. Data should be imported and stored in the Elisa database. The DB-importer should also store the Playlists and path thereto. As a next step, Elisa should also be able to read & import the playlists themselves, and display them under Playlists in the GUI.
As a first step, the only feedback to the user given that this action takes place, should be that instead of "Scanning Media" it can show the process-info "Importing Metadata". The actual mediascanning can start after or be phased-in in parallel with this import process.
If possible (by comparing update-dates), only the latest added stuff should be re-imported the next launch - and if nothing has changed since last import, the importer should not read through & import the whole DB again.
