Setup Snapcast-Client with HifiBerry-Amp+ on a Raspberry Pi Zero

SSRPARI_snapclient_hifiberryamp_RPi0.md

This will setup a Snapcast-Client on a Raspberry Pi Zero.
A Hifiberry-Amp+ is attached for sound-output.
The goal here is to fully integrate this into the other gist setting up the sanpcast-server.
