Refactors

Player

remove windows midi_patch; improve switch out/in dc48c2763

This code was pausing/restarting MIDIs and resetting the volume in a convulted manner, likely to workaround some old bug with MIDIs seen on windows only. We've since upgraded to allegro 5, which gives a different backend for playing MIDIs, so this bug is likely ancient history now.

There was some issue with blurring window focus losing percussion, sometimes. Not sure if this change will have an impact, but let's see.

Replaced the midi_patch UI toggle with pause_in_background.
