[Flac-dev] dropping id3 support

[Josh Coalson]

ah.  I was only talking about removing support in the winamp2
and xmms plugins.  the decoder libraries will still be able to
skip over/ignore id3 tags as before.  I think AudioReQuest and
PhatNoise must be using their own code to read id3 tags, which
won't be affected.
