GUI/CLI option for audio-channels

It's currently not possible to force VLC from stereo to mono mode, or from stereo to reverse stereo or dolby mode. It's one of the few options in VLC that can not yet be forced from Preferences or the commandline.

This is pretty trivial to implement. Just make 'audio-channels' a preference settings so that it gets saved in the configuration...

aout: add --stereo-mode to replace audio-channels variable (fixes [#6](https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc/-/issues/6))

Since audio-channels was not a configuration item, renaming is a mere
internal matter. This also fixes callback handling and factors code.
