Notes:
* ADL: The DMX volume model was set as default to unify volumes on all bank. Otherwise, if you will use 'Generic' or 'Win9x', the sound will became too loud than wanted. Each bank has own default volume model which is used when 'Auto' is set.
* ADL: 6 chips is optimal to work with default banks
* OPN: 8 chips are set to provide 48 polyphony channels. (each OPN2 chip has 6 channels only)
* Text files: junk spaces from end of lines are was auto-removed.
The native byte order converters were defined as macros which hid some issues due to lack of type checks.
Additionally the ???Long variants taking 'long' variables were removed, because longs are not always 32 bits so this could be destructive.
As a result of this, removed several DWORDs from struct definitions in i_crash.cpp.
The idea here is to decouple the actual reader creation from the code using them so that, for example, the Open function can decide if it wants to open the file regularly or memory mapped and return different readers as deemed useful. For that to work the exposed object needs to be an abstract wrapper so that this can be done without having to use pointers and all the drawbacks coming from that.
So far put to use in a few parts of the music code so the general functionality could be tested.
This was done after the players had already been created. To ensure that everything gets set properly it is necessary to pass the desired sample rate to the device's constructor and let it make sure that a proper sample rate gets set.
- implemented a fallback both for sound font lookup and for MIDI device selection so that if some non-working combination is set up, the player will fall back to something that works.
This reverts commit 8f7a503561.

Something in here wasn't working as intended, and since it needs better synchronization let's redo it entirely.
This may cause problems because the player runs in a different thread than the input code.
Instead the play thread will now copy their values to local variables when it starts generating output.
PathExpander has been integrated into the sound font manager and PseudoMidiDevice was only used as the base class for the old Timidity++ device with the external executable.
- added the missing handler for reading Timidity configs from the lump directory.
- fixed incomplete init of the GUS synth when no soundfont can be located.
- fixed bad initialization of WildMidi sampling frequency. It would default to 11.025 kHz if no valid rate was set. Now it will use the sound device's native frequency.
- final tweak to volume adjustment: Do this upon extraction for better results.
If this is done via the synth's parameters it will affect channel balance.
The given factor of 5 is necessary to roughly match the output of FluidSynth.
* do not use the global temp directory. Instead create one in the AppData folder.
* removed lots of unneeded code from tmpfileplus.
* use C++ strings in there.
