If connecting ports using the port-engine fails,
ardour forgets the connection.
Internal backends only produced an error if a port was already
connected, when using ::connect (handle, other), but
ignore already existing connection when using port-names.
Various ports are connected twice when the engine connects
at session load. This worked fine for as long as the engine
was never stopped (saving the session asks the port-engine),
but failed when the engine went away and internal representation
is used.
"While 'atomic' has a volatile qualifier, this is a historical
artifact and the pointer passed to it should not be volatile."
Furthermore "It is very important that all accesses to a
particular integer or pointer be performed using only this API"
(from https://developer.gnome.org/glib/2.68/glib-Atomic-Operations.html)
Hence initialization of atomic variables is changed to also use
this API, instead of directly initializing the value.
This also fixes a few cases where atomic variables were
accessed directly.

PortAudio uses what it calls 'default suggested latencies' but in callback streaming mode, they can result in wildly inaccurate buffer sizing (e.g. the user requests a buffer size of 128 but PortAudio actually instructs ASIO to use a much bigger size).
What we do now is to improve PortAudio's suggested latency calculation by basing it on the actual buffer size requested by the user.
The backend holds `_port_callback_mutex` while disconnecting ports.
In some cases disconnecting a port can drop the last reference
resulting in a port-deletion from the connection handler.
This in turn will eventually aquire the `_port_callback_mutex`
and deadlock.
This is now circumvented by using atomic operations instead of
taking a lock to set the `_port_change_flag`.
The flag is also used to trigger a latency update in some cases,
atomic is preferable to taking a lock to set this flag.

The warning "samples per period does not match." never triggered.
Previously not being able to set the requested buffersize was a
fatal error.
This adds support for soundcards that only support msec.
e.g. recent HDA Intel via SOF (Sound Open Firmware)
This allow to restore original engine port-names as set
by the backend. ALSA MIDI, CoreAudio, CoreMIDI and PortAudio
drivers can provide human readable physical port names for
some devices.
When exporting long sessions with freewheeling, pulseaudio
may meanwhile suspend the corked audio device. The "FAIL_ON_SUSPEND"
option then prevents ardour to uncork it after export, and the
audio-backend is halted.
This potentially breaks various assumptions (e.g. no resampling,
fixed buffersize) when the stream is moved to a different device.
Then again it's pulseaudio, which is unsuitable for pro-audio to
begin with.
This fixes an issue with some soundcards e.g. "AxeFx III".
Device configuration fails unless set_hwpar() is performed
for the capture device before configuring the playack
device (half duplex is fine, too).
This is mainly for RME RayDAT that has a fixed buffersize of 16k:
dev_name : hw:HDSPMxc2f6c5,0
channels : 36
min_rate : 32000
max_rate : 192000
min_bufz : 16384
max_bufz : 16384
min_nper : 4
max_nper : 512
However nperiod configuration determines the effective latency
regardless.
This is similar to https://github.com/jackaudio/jack1/blob/master/drivers/alsa/alsa_driver.c#L476-L486
