mkv: removed manual memory management from Tags + SimpleTags
 
In order to provide better runtime safety manual management of dynamic
memory has been removed from `class Tags` and `class SimpleTags`.

This includes introducing usage of `std::vector` as well as
`std::string`, while also removing data-members that are no longer
required.

 - SimpleTag::b_default has been removed since it was written to (at
   once place), but never read; the write has been replaced by a comment.

 - The ParseSimpleTag function has been changed to return `bool` instead
   of a pointer to signal whether parsing was successful. The result
   will be written to `pout_simple` (instead of being indirectly
   returned through a pointer).

README for the VLC media player
===============================

VLC is a popular libre and open source media player and multimedia engine,
used by a large number of individuals, professionals, companies and
institutions. Using open source technologies and libraries, VLC has been
ported to most computing platforms, including GNU/Linux, Windows, Mac OS X,
BSD, iOS and Android.
VLC can play most multimedia files, discs, streams, allows playback from
devices, and is able to convert to or stream in various formats.
The VideoLAN project was started at the university École Centrale Paris who
relicensed VLC under the GPLv2 license in February 2001. Since then, VLC has
been downloaded close to one billion times.
