Streamline recording new clips while Deluge is playing

[cowboy]

This assumes Deluge is in grid mode, Deluge is playing, and Rec is enabled.

The following steps assume default active is set to green, but should work regardless of how default active is set. The updated behavior works in green mode.

Instead of:

1. Hold blue mode button + long-press empty clip pad(s) to create clip(s)
2. Short-press clip(s) created in step 1 to queue them up for recording at the beginning of the next bar
3. Record clip(s)

This allows one to:

1. Short-press empty clip pad(s) to create clip(s) and queue them up for recording at the beginning of the next bar
2. Record clip(s)

In my testing, this makes recording new clips significantly easier.

Hey there, really cool! :) Didn't look at the code yet but I'm sure a lot of people will find that useful. In order to properly integrate it I propose to change "Empty pad unarm" which is On/Off currently into "Empty pad action" where the user can select between Nothing, Unarm and Create+Record. What do you think?

In addition I am planning a red mode for punch in and punch out recording, if you are interested to pick it up you can highlight me and we can figure out the details on Discord.

Question: couldn’t these two functions coexist? They are differentiated by rec enabled.

You could unarm with empty while no rec is enabled and record when rec is enabled.

To @sichtbeton's point, I actually use both unarm and create+record together. I've added some code which creates an "Empty pads" submenu with independent "Unarm" and "Create + Record" bool toggles.

Ah very nice, that works for me as well :) Once you are ready feel free to request a review after converting from Draft to ready.

[cowboy]

There's nothing else I want to add to this PR, so I think it's ready for review. I hope others will test it, in case I missed anything important!

Just a reminder that currentSong->currentClip will need to be updated later
