Draft attached.
I also added basic disc checking with some informative log messages.

For AACS protected discs properly configured libaacs is required. BD+
protected discs must be ripped first.

This protocol supports only plain movie playlists, not interactive
titles like menus. It allows playback of BluRay titles/extras with
ffplay and transcoding with ffmpeg.
Menu support would require lot of other changes, just like DVD menu
support. Even if menu support is added later, plain playlist support is
still needed: when transcoding one doesn't want any menus.

BluRay does not store track language codes in PMT. Language codes are
stored in clip info files. This information can be queried from
libbluray, but track language codes can be matched only against mpeg-ts
pids. I have no idea how to add language codes to metadata: at least
first PMT must have been parsed before setting track language codes. Any
ideas ?

For menu support we'll need at least:
- pass user input to libbluray
- draw menu overlays
- support for dynamically changing streams when clip changes
  (menus concatenate playlists with different streams / codecs /
parameters)
- support for delays (still images)
- support to change selected tracks
- current SCR when menu is invoked
