Provide feedback in interface when AirTunes is not available

In settings, there is an option 'Enable AirPlay "Videos" and "Pictures" support' (SETTING_SERVICES_AIRPLAYVIDEOSUPPORT). Enabling this setting activates the AirPlay server (in addition to the AirTunes server, which is controlled by the main setting). However, when Kodi is compiled without AirTunes support (--disable-airtunes), like on Debian, the AirTunes server will never be started, so by disabling the AirPlay server, effectively the entire AirPlay functionality is turned off, while the setting 'Enable AirPlay support' (the main setting) is still enabled.

This is obviously very confusing for the user. I suggest adding some explanation or feedback in the user interface when Kodi is compiled without AirTunes support and video/pictures support is turned off.

Try an ios6 device and you will still have working airplay (without airtunes) in your constellation. There are around 10 different ios/kodi working constellations when it comes to airtunes and airplay. Apple just created a real mess here. Instead of putting any more effort into this i will rather remove the whole feature at one point.
