**Enhancements**
1. Enable the AirPlay 2 build to provide pure classic AirPlay either optionally or automatically if NQPTP is not running, as follows:
* Add a new command-line option `-—service-type=<type>` and an equivalent configuration entry `service_type = "<type>";` in the `general` section of the configuration file, where `<type>` can be `"auto"`, `"classic"` or `"airplay2"`:
1. `"auto"` (default) means that the service will be AirPlay 2 if NQPTP is running and classic AirPlay otherwise. If NQPTP is not running, classic AirPlay service will be provided and `(Classic)` will be appended to the default AirPlay service name visible to AirPlay clients like Apple Music, for example `RaspberryPi3B (Classic)`.
1. `"auto"` (default) means that the service will be AirPlay 2 if NQPTP is running. If NQPTP is not running, classic AirPlay service will be provided and `(Classic)` will be appended to the default AirPlay service name visible to AirPlay clients like Apple Music, for example `RaspberryPi3B (Classic)`.
2. `"classic"` means the service will be classic AirPlay (aka AirPlay 1).
3. `"airplay2"` means the service will be the modern AirPlay 2. In this case, as distinct from `"auto"`, if NQPTP is not running, Shairport Sync will log an error and terminate.
* In the `systemd` service file, NQPTP is now a `Want` rather than a `Require`. If it's present, it will be launched before Shairport Sync.
