Create a 'swing feel' in selected regions.

The beat position of selected audio regions is analyzed,
then the audio is time-stretched, moving 8th notes back in
time while keeping 1/4-note beats in place to produce
a rhythmic swing style.

(This script also servers as example for both VAMP
analysis as well as Rubberband region stretching.)

Kudos to Chris Cannam.
