This can help when running with very low latency and the
initial process callback is [indirectly] expensive.
E.g. load a heavy session the a RPi4, initial setup can pull
in a lot of data, which blocks the bus.
In particular with the ALSA backend this can lead to poll timeout
which effectively stops the backend.
* remove color: increase contrast, do not use red/green
foreground because it does no work with various themes
* do use red background to alert users
* use italics for labels heading
* increase spacing between elements
* use mono-space font with DSP load (fixed with) up to 99%
* Fix translations, use compose strings
This allows for caches to warm up, background worker threads to
spin up and things settle down. This also prevents initial
audible artifacts of live input.
In almost all cases this completes before the GUI is brought up.
Using the mouse/dropdown to change octaves can lead to stuck
notes when keys are held. This is because the most recently
pressed key, sends key-repeat events.
Using Arrow keys to switch octaves does not cause this problem,
because the most recently pressed key will be an arrow key.
PS. Changing Chromatic Transpose while holding keys still
can lead to stuck notes. This will need a different fix.
When recover() successfully re-initializes the device,
processing can continue just like after an x-run.
This can happen during initial session load of "expensive"
sessions (in particular on slow systems, e.g. Raspberry Pi)
usually with synths. Worker thread pulls in many external
files in the background which blocks the bus for a long time.
resulting in a poll-timeout.
Otherwise the Simple QWERTY layout is loaded in the Virtual MIDI Keyboard
regardless of what is set in
Preferences->MIDI->Virtual Keyboard->Virtual Keyboard Layout
This fixes a deadlock when closing the session.
Session::destroy() takes the engine-lock while removing
unhandled session-events. In [1], the event-queue held a last
reference to a Track, and releasing that object triggered
events (here ~IO) that required the lock.

This fixes a crash with missing [MIDI] write-sources after
duplicating tracks [1]: Stealing write-source name fails, because
there is no write-source.
When duplicating tracks, reset_write_sources() is called before
any playlists are set [2]. So no new write-sources are created
because _playlists[DATA-TYPE] is empty.
During normal track creation write-sources are usually added
by the input-change handler [3]. However in this case the
state has been set, and since there is no change,
DiskWriter::configure_io does not call use_new_write_source()
NB. This also re-creates write-source when playlists are changed.

Completing readout available() returns 0, until all
background threads have finished and joined.
This also improves performance by feeding suggested/required
amount of samples on every process() call.
