The IRMP core library is not prepared for threading or interleaved use
by multiple call sites for different data streams, internal state is
kept in global vars (MCU project heritage). Adjust the Python wrapper,
create one usable instance, and several more which fail to execute.
Fail late such that users see error messages.
The approach isn't pretty, but avoids segfaults when re-loaded sessions
assign multiple decoder instances, and raises user's awareness of the
"one instance" limitation by established means: "decoder error" bar, and
log messages, with a description to point out the cause.
This commit implements a dirty modification of a singleton. It's a pity
that Python appears to lack reliable destruction, hence the whole class
remains blocked even if the instance is released. Move all library use
into pd.py:decode() in the hope that Python's 'with' could help in a
future implementation. Prepare to either present a generic message that
is generated by pd.py, or pass on a text that originates in the Python
wrapper for the C library.

Recent upstream IRMP core versions introduced a "release" flag in
addition to the "repeat" flag. Prepare the decoder to present these
flags when libraries should pass them in results.
The flags' being orthogonal slightly complicates the logic which
constructs annotation texts. Do provide text variants for all previously
supported zoom levels, yet try to keep the implementation as simple as
possible: Match list lengths for simplified folding. Always print the
flags field even if none of the flags is active (kind of was done before
this change as well, just not visible). This approach easily accepts
more flags as needed in future versions.

Detect the MacOS platform by checking for 'Darwin' with the Python
platform(3) module, and use the 'lib<stem>.dylib' filename scheme.

Rename the Python language binding's source file and identifiers to
eliminate camel case (most of it, stick with camel case in Python class
names as is the convention). Adjust whitespace and arrange tables such
that their indentation will last during maintenance.
Re-add the license text which was missing in the original submission's
copy of another decoder. Add copyright information for this submission.
Don't "import *" from ctypes(3), use explicit references instead. Avoid
double underscores as single leading underscore is already bad enough.
Adjust the Python side to the C library's renamed API routines.
Create a result data structure layout that only has a single level of
nesting, which better represents the C library's interface. Only flags
"get unfolded" in the Python binding, to eliminate magic numbers.
Prepare to support more platforms than Linux (detected) and Windows (the
default when nothing else got detected).
