This breaks applications (apparently including some patches to make banshee do
gapless).

We could warn if you change the uri while about-to-finish isn't being
processed, but not disallow it.

We should NOT use a thread-private variable for this - it should be perfectly
ok to (as banshee does) block the thread processing about-to-finish until the
main thread sets the next URI. But really, it's ok to change the URI at any
time - it has had clear semantics in the past (sets the next URI to play), and
there's no need to change those.

This needs reverting before the next release. Marking as blocker.
