This adds support for tests of the error output of QB64-PE. The tests are in the form of a `.bas` file that does not compile, and a `.err` file containing the expected output of QB64-PE when producing an error for that file. Additionally the `compile_tests` now support multiple tests in a single folder, via using multiple `.bas` files with different names.
This adds MIDI support to the language as a new unstable feature. There are two new metacommands that come with this: $Unstable: Midi $MidiSoundFont: [Default|"filename"] The $Unstable command is required to be able to use any of the other commands, and just signifies that this is not a full part of the language yet and may change in breaking ways before the API is finalized. The $MidiSoundFont command enables MIDI support in the compiled program, and also specifies what sound font to use to play MIDI files. "Default" will make use of the soundfont placed at './internal/support/default_soundfont.sf2', and otherwise a filename can be specified to use any soundfont wanted. In either case, the selected sound font is compiled into the executable and then loaded at runtime. Fixes: QB64-Phoenix-Edition#115
This adds a fake sound card to the GitHub build agents. The existance of a fake sound card allows us to run tests using the audio backend on the build agents without getting errors.
We were missing some quotes in the command line strings, so if there were spaces involved `chmod +x` would not work correctly.
This adds compiler settings for each of the settings in the 'Compiler Settings' IDE dialog. This makes it easy to supply the settings per compile without needing to use the IDE to change them (or edit the `config.ini`). Fixes: QB64-Phoenix-Edition#162

Changing midiaudio.h will make it harder to incorporate new versions into QB64-PE as they come out. To fix that I have reverted all the changes to midiaudio.h and moved the few private parts we were using into a separate 'filepath' API that's part of libqb.

This adds MIDI support to the language as a new unstable feature. There
are two new metacommands that come with this:
Once midi support is setup with those commands, you can
_SNDOPEN()a MIDIfile and play it like any other sound file
The
$Unstablecommand is required to be able to use any of the otherMIDI commands, and just signifies that this is not a full part of the
language yet and may change in breaking ways before the API is
finalized.
The
$MidiSoundFontcommand enables MIDI support in the compiled program,and also specifies what sound font to use to play MIDI files.
Defaultwill make use of the soundfont placed at
'./internal/support/default_soundfont.sf2', and otherwise a filename can
be specified to use any soundfont wanted. In both cases, the selected sound
font is compiled into the executable and then loaded at runtime.
Note that MIDI is not supported when using the OpenAL backend, and we report an
error in that situation.
Command line parameters for setting things in the
Compiler Settingsdialogwere also added. This is actually a feature requested by a few different people
so it's nice that I finally got around to doing it, I needed it for some of the
automated testing for the MIDI stuff.
I would also like to callout some improvements I made to the testing system. I
added documentation in
docs/testing.mdregarding it, along with more completeinformation on how to actually add new tests.
