rtpmidid 24.12

This is a year worth of effort to make rtpmidi more stable and useful.

As always, please report any issue and feature request to the issue tracker, and I will try my best to make it happen.

Featured Improvements

New features

• Raw MIDI devices - Can configure them in the ini file, command line or cli util.
• Optionally use std::format instead of fmt library, where available.
• Improvements to the TUI.
• Improvements to the INI configuration file: rawmidi devices, can set local UDP port for clients. Use regex for auto add to the autodiscover and announcement (positive and negative)
• More tests.

Fixes

• Improved SysEx support. #123 Thanks to sadgitarius.
• Improed Avahi support.

Internal changes

• Full rework of rtpmidi clients, encapsulating UDP use, name resolution and many more items.
• Use a state machine for rtpmidi clients. Improves reliability and simplifies the code.
• Added new rtpmidi packet class to ease testing. This is effectively a second mini implementation of the protocol, so it can be used to test correctness.
• Internal signals, used for raw midi devices to do not open the device until really in use.

Known bugs

• When setting a DNS name for connect_to, it may block everything for some seconds if can not resolve the remote endpoint.
• Once it got into a loop of trying to connect to the remote server, but was properly connected, making the connection reset every 10 seconds. Could not reproduce.
• Avahi / zeroconf / bonjour announcements sometimes are not properly detected.
