Console clients

A command line client. Version 0.14 had some issues with Mopidy (see
:issue:`5`), but 0.16 seems to work nicely.
A console client that works well with Mopidy, and is regularly used by Mopidy
developers.
Search does not work in the "Match if tag contains search phrase (regexes
supported)" mode because the client tries to fetch all known metadata and do
the search on the client side. The two other search modes works nicely, so this
is not a problem.

Search only works in two of the three search modes:
- "Match if tag contains search phrase (regexes supported)" -- Does not work.
The client tries to fetch all known metadata and do the search client side.
- "Match if tag contains searched phrase (no regexes)" -- Works.
- "Match only if both values are the same" -- Works.

GMPC may sometimes requests a lot of meta data of related albums, artists, etc.
This takes more time with Mopidy, which needs to query Spotify for the data,

query to Mopidy, and then does the rest of the filtering itself on the client
side. Since Spotify has a collection of millions of tracks and they only return
the first 100 hits for any search query, searching for two-letter combinations
seldom returns any useful results. See :issue:`1` and the matching `Sonata
