Sync airplay and amplipi volumesΒ #1070

This is a copy of #337, intentionally made as to not spam those that are in that thread as I document my findings

In #1063 I've implemented a volume synchronization script that works with Spotify, I aim to port that forward in to airplay as well. I've found that you can read airplay side volume changes by using shairport-sync-metadata-reader on one of two files depending on which version of airplay you're using: /tmp/shairport-sync-metadata for ap1 or /tmp/shairport-sync-ap2-metadata for ap2. This leads to some problems, as multiple streams of ap1 share that same metadata file and if we ever solve for #436 then airplay 2 will have the same difficulty.

I need to find a way to split those metadata files out and ideally place them in the correct .config/amplipi/srcs/ folder along the way, and I also need to find if there's a way to back populate AmpliPi changes back to the airplay host device as well
