Title: Update Xbmc notifier to use JSON for new Xbmc versions(>=frodo)

Xbmc recently dropped the old and long deprecated HTTP API, so notifications and library updates don't work anymore in xbmc nightly builds.

this PR adds methods for the JSONRPC API and uses it if a recent Xbmc version is found.
For older Xbmc builds, nothing changes.
We cannot use json for older xbmc builds, because they don't support notifications over json.
