Tobias Gesellchen 3329149282 Add support for RADIO_BROWSER source
This implementation follows the reference from soundcork pull request #158. It adds RADIO_BROWSER to the known providers and includes the service configuration in bmx_services.json. Documentation has also been added to explain how to use the RadioBrowser feature. Credits to @gmuth (https://github.com/gmuth) for the original idea and implementation in soundcork.

## radio-browser.info
- https://www.radio-browser.info is a community driven radio station database.
- It provides an API to access the data and allows users to submit new stations or update existing ones.
### Search for stations
- Go to https://www.radio-browser.info and find a station you like.
- Click on the station and copy the UUID from the URL.
- e.g. `https://www.radio-browser.info/history/d28420a4-eccf-47a2-ace1-088c7e7cb7e0`
### RADIO_BROWSER
- This project supports source type RADIO_BROWSER to play radio stations.
- Set the `location` attribute to `/stations/byuuid/{UUID}`.
```xml
<ContentItem
source="RADIO_BROWSER"
type="stationurl"
isPresetable="true"
location="/stations/byuuid/9610c454-0601-11e8-ae97-52543be04c81">
<itemName>RADIO_BROWSER</itemName>
<containerArt></containerArt>
</ContentItem>
```
### Playing the station

```bash
curl -d '<ContentItem source="RADIO_BROWSER" type="stationurl" location="/stations/byuuid/<uuid>"/>' <soundtouch>:8090/select
