This implements the changes described at #370.
This commit implements only the `null` and `alsa` backends - the rest
will be implemented in follow-up commits.
Closes#370.
Currently CPAL only really uses `failure` for its `derive` capabilities
and the ability to easily generate implementations for `Display`. That
said there are a few issues with using the `failure` crate:
- `failure` does not provie a `std::error::Error` implementation without
first converting error types into `failure::Error`.
- It leaks significantly into the public API and expects downstream
users to also depend on `failure` and the non-std `Fail` trait for
their own error handling.
- Solved problems such as downcasting of causal errors which have since
been addressed in `std`.
- Provides application-friendly `Fail` trait and `failure::Error` type,
not particularly useful to libraries like CPAL.
The [`thiserror` crate](https://github.com/dtolnay/thiserror) is better
targeted towards libraries, does not leak into the public API while
providing easy generation of `Display`, `From` and `std::error::Error`
implementations including proper handling of the newish
`std::error::Error::source` method.
