Documenting the MIDI List Editor

First pass at reorganizing/cleaning up the MIDI part. A few other files were touched as well as they were referred to by files in the MIDI part, which lead to other connected things being pulled in. As this is only the first pass, there will be more necessary changes coming in the near future. Also, the lowest two levels of structure were mistakenly removed from the build system; these have been added back as they are necessary to keep the structure of the manual sane.

The <dfn>List Editor</dfn> is a way to look at the MIDI data of a region, not
graphically as they are displayed in the Editor, but in a tabular form.

This way of seeing the MIDI data allows for quicker "debugging" of a MIDI
region, and for fast <em>non-graphical</em> (i.e. no mouse involved)
editing. The list has a vertical flow, i.e. the first events (in time) are
at the top of the window, and the last are at the bottom.

Each value can be manually modified, by <kbd class="mouse">left</kbd>
clicking it. However, the <em>Name</em> field is derived from the
<em>Number</em> field, and cannot be edited. To change a note, its number
must be changed, which will be reflected in the <em>Name</em> field.
