Hide most of the setup complexity that is irrelevant when
running the video-server on the same host as Ardour.
Add an abstraction layer to the config which will become
important later when /building in/ the video-server.

initial working version after changes to MIDI channel filtering. may affect metering input too. testing not yet finished
this commit merges many deep changes in ardour's internal architecture,
combined with a total redesign of how MIDI channel filtering works.
data in a track used to flow from JACK port buffers to diskstream's ringbuffers
and was then copied from the ringbuffers into a BufferSet for use during
Route::process_output_buffers(). The butler thread would handle the movement of
data between the ringbuffers and disk.
with this commit, data now flows from JACK port buffers into the BufferSet used
for Route processing, and is copied from the BufferSet into the diskstream's
ringbuffers (the butler thread continues to handle interactions with disk as
usual).
this change allowed a dramatic consolidation of code and simplification of most
aspects of Track/Route::roll() and Track/Route::no_roll(). in particular, see
Route::fill_buffers_with_input() which now concisely describes how we move data
from JACK port buffers into the BufferSet for all Route types (including Tracks).
this work was initially motivated by changing MIDI channel filtering so that we
can process capture and playback independently. there is now a very clean
pathway for this - see MidiTrack::roll() (NOTE: This needs implementing in the
no-roll case too - a TODO item).
the channel selector for MIDI tracks has been moved out of the track header and
is now accessible via the context menu. more work is likely here, to make it
(more) obvious to the user when filtering is going on.
