	/* OK, this is extremely hard to understand on first reading, so please
	 * read this and think about it carefully if you are confused.
	 *
	 * Plugin discovery must take place in the main thread of the
	 * process. This is not true for all plugin APIs but it is true for
	 * VST.  For AU, although plugins themselves do not care, Apple decided
	 * that Cocoa must be "invoked" from the main thread. Since the plugin
	 * might show a "registration" GUI, discovery must be done
	 * in the main thread.
	 *
	 * This means that the PluginManager::refresh() call MUST be made from
	 * the main thread (typically the GUI thread, but certainly the thread
	 * running main()). Failure to do this will cause crashes, undefined
	 * behavior and other undesirable stuff (because plugin APIs failed to
	 * specify this aspect of the host behavior).
	 *
	 * The ::refresh call is likely to be slow, particularly in the case of
	 * VST(2) plugins where we are forced to load the shared object do
	 * discovery (there is no separate metadata as with LV2 for
	 * example). This means that it will block the GUI event loop where we
	 * are calling it from. This is a problem.
	 *
	 * Normally we would solve this by running it in a separate thread, but
	 * we cannot do this for reasons described above regarding plugin
	 * discovery.
	 *
	 * We "solve" this by making the PluginManager emit a signal as it
	 * examines every new plugin. Our handler for this signal checks the
	 * message, and then runs ARDOUR_UI::gui_idle_handler() which flushes
	 * the GUI event loop of pending events. This effectively handles
	 * redraws and event input and all the usual stuff, meaning that the
	 * GUI event loop appears to continue running during the ::refresh()
	 * call. In reality, it only runs at the start of each plugin
	 * discovery, so if the discovery process for a particular plugin takes
	 * a long time (e.g. because it displays a licensing window and sits
	 * waiting for input from the user), there's nothing we can do -
	 * control will not be returned to our GUI event loop until that is
	 * finished.
	 *
	 * This is a horrible design. Truly, really horrible. But it is caused
	 * by plugin APIs failing to mandate that discovery can happen from any
	 * thread and that plugins should NOT display a GUI or interact with
	 * the user during discovery/instantiation. Fundamentally, all plugin
	 * APIs should allow discovery without instantiation, like LV2 does
	 * (and to a very limited extent like AU does, if you play some games
	 * with the lower level APIs).
	 *
	 * For now (October 2019) it is the best we can come up with that does
	 * not break when some VST plugin decides to behave stupidly.
