liquidsoap Remove string interpolation

This is outdated and should be replaced by string getters everywhere it is still in use.

Yes, nobody know about it / use it. Although, be careful, it's still in use in some scripts...

See #2220.

Note that output.file allows specifying the filename depending on current metadata, which is going to be difficult to reimplement with getters.

I don't understand the motivation behind this ? being able to write a path as %Y-%m-%d/%Hh%M_%S.flac is more simpler and elegant than writing a complete function as in https://github.com/savonet/liquidsoap/discussions/2220#discussioncomment-2125860

I think that Sam brings up a good point here and @martinkirch is right to follow-up with this. What we need to remove, I believe, is the generic string interpolation: s % hash type. We should definitely keep the functionalities around filename in output.file but make it specific to this operator.

This feature is still too useful to remove. Closing!
