Dynamic MIDI buffer size management

Sonar will detect high load scenarios when processing MIDI and automatically raise the MIDI buffer size for that session to avoid dropouts caused by MIDI buffer underruns. Subsequent playback passes will use the higher size.

Note: This will not change the default MIDI buffer size in playback settings, but just changes it for that run session.

You can see the result of this dynamic change in preferences, even though it won't be saved explicitly until the user changes the value manually.

Sonar now displays a toast notification when high load is detected when processing MIDI data. The toast notification allows you to temporarily increase the MIDI buffer size for that session to avoid dropouts caused by MIDI buffer underruns.
