pcm/PcmChannels: silence surround channels when converting from stereo
Previously, there was no special code to convert stereo to
multi-channel. The generic solution for this was to convert to mono,
and then copy the result to all channels. That's a pretty bad
solution, but at least something which always renders audio. MPD does
something, instead of failing.
Now that MPD has proper support for multi-channel (by defining the
channel order), we can do better than that. It is a (somewhat) common
case to play back stereo music on a DAC which can only do
multi-channel. The best approach here is to copy the stereo channels
to front-left and front-right, and apply the "silence" pattern to all
other channels.
