- fixed: The streaming music player must return the file reader if it fails to open, so that the next player can still use it.
- fixed: Timidity++'s Instruments class did not delete the sound font when it was destroyed.

The needed headers are now included in the repo, which for these libraries is possible thanks to a stable ABI (at least on Windows, the other platforms still need to be checked but the headers only add, never remove or change existing content.)
The big advantage of this setup is that it allows building the project on Windows without any necessary setup - all that needs to be provided is the DLLs from the binary package.
This still requires some fixes for macOS and Linux. On MacOS the proper library names are missing and the ones for Linux are not verified. Both platforms should work, though, if the dynamic loading is disabled.
The idea is to have more control on the game side instead of dealing with these formats in the backend, which was done for FMod because it already had the decoders implemented.
However, with OpenAL this setup makes no sense and only complicates future extensions that can be better handled at a higher level.
This one was particularly nasty because Windows also defines a DWORD, but in Windows it is an unsigned long, not an unsigned int so changing types caused type conflicts and not all could be removed.
Those referring to the Windows type have to be kept, fortunately they are mostly in the Win32 directory, with a handful of exceptions elsewhere.
They didn't do anything anyway, and can clash with other compilers since they
may be used internally (macros and keywords starting with __ are for compiler
use).
This required the addition of a few exception handlers so to avoid #ifdef overuse I also added some #defines for non-Windows systems that allow using __try and __except directly in the code without #ifdef'ing them out.
Instead of the previous method where there'd be a filename and offset, and/or a
memory pointer, this uses a class to access resource data regardless of its
underlying form.
