random_playlist.lua make index more sparse

The name of the game here is to load the database file without taking over the
audio buffer.

5mb database file will now successfully load

added an option to save playlist directly to disk and bypass the rb builtin function completely
however if you choose play the playlist will be loaded back from the disk into the inram dynamic playlist

+    This script opens the users database file containg track path + filenames
+    first it reads the database file making an index of tracks
+    [for large playlists it only saves an index every [10|100|1000] tracks.
+    tracks will be incrementally loaded along with the results of the entries
+    traversed but the garbage collector will erase them when needed]
+
+    next tracks are choosen at random and added either to an in-ram playlist
+    using plugin functions OR
+    to a on disk playlist using a table as a write buffer
+    the user can also choose to play the playlist in either case
