Title: headless_pianobar

In addition to personal interest in running pianobar headlessly, as well as
interest in it from other people I know personally, there has been at
least one feature request through github to run pianobar headlessly:
https://github.com/PromyLOPh/pianobar/issues/39

The response to the feature request says "Feel free to send patches",
and so I figured I'd do so.

headless_pianobar is a relatively simple shell script wrapper for
pianobar which will allow it to function headlessly. I had hoped to
make it as portable as possible, but ran into limitations with getting
input one character at a time with the bourne shell, and thus fell back
to using bash.

If any issues are found which would limit it from being added upstream,
let me know and I will do what I can to remedy them.
