Caching the current playlist

Feature

What did you expect to see?

I'd love to see the songlist caching behavior be extended to cache the current playlist.

I'd love this since sometimes a crash appears and there was a playlist of 2+ hours. With cache i'd be able to restore this playlist within seconds. Without it i'll have to readd everything manually taking lots of time..

Suggestion

• [ ] Use a different cache file: Playlist.json
• [ ] Remove the playlist cache file after a graceful exit (by menu or alt F4 or X in the menu bar)
• [ ] Load the playlist cache file if there is a file available on the system.
• [ ] Write to the playlist cache after a song is added, removed or moved.

I'd say 1, make 2 optional (and make 3 behave accordingly) and 4.

There's is no use for the playlist file if the program gracefully exited as it means the player wanted to quit the game therefor keeping track of the current playlist is practically useless and even annoying imo..

This will restart performous with a playlist already then.. (if choosen not to be deleted)

What if you need to restart the computer for some reason?
