sout: dlna: publicly expose protocol info function

This will allow for other dlna compliant modules (for instance a server)
to use the same code as formatting the Protocol Info is a pretty common
operation.

meson: upnp: depend on `contrib_dep`

The new UPNP server is referring to upnp includes with the `upnp/`
prefix for clarity (eg. `upnp/list.h`). This requires including the
whole `include/` contrib directory.

upnp: server: implement media fetching

Browsing the UPNP server hierarchy will lead to the client fetching the
media/thumbnails via GET requests on the libupnp webserver. This patch
exposes a way to retreive the medialibrary indexed files via URLS
poiting to their internal IDS. Theses URL will then be exposed by the
directory browsing service in the next commit.

upnp: server: fix crash when clients request private or missing media

The C callbacks getinfo_cb and open_cb call parse_url which may throw
C++ exceptions (ForbiddenAccess, UnknownObject) from ml::Object::get().
These exceptions cannot unwind through libupnp's C stack frames, causing
std::terminate and a crash.
