 In 0.24, the jump "playmusic" resulted in a location of "playmusic".

 However, in 0.25, the same "playmusic" jump no longer returns the same
 location response.

 This makes code for external libraries slightly more complicated. It is
 also a little less than intuitive for the user typing commands into the
 network control socket.

 The attached patch adds "playlistview" as a synonym to "playmusic" to
 allow for symmetry between the jump and the resulting location, while not
 breaking anything or anyone expecting "playmusic" to work.

 # jump mainmenu

 # jump playmusic

 Synonyms have been created in the past with other jump points (i.e.
 playbackbox and playbackrecordings), though I do not know the reasoning
 behind those.
