Disabled groups were only skipped when the attribute was written as enabled="0". Presets in the wild write enabled="false" (e.g. drum kit libraries which switch between several kits via a drop-down in their UI where each kit is a group and only one is enabled). All those kits were converted stacked on the same keys and played simultaneously.
Creates a separate multi-sample for each group instead of one multi-sample which contains all groups. Intended for presets which contain several alternative kits or articulations as groups and switch between them via their user interface (only one group is enabled at a time). Disabled groups are converted as well in this mode, so every kit of such a preset becomes its own preset. CLI parameter: DecentSamplerMultisamplePerGroup=1.

Stacked on #195 (contains its commit) - please merge that one first, this PR then reduces to a single commit.
Many DecentSampler libraries pack several alternative kits or articulations into one preset: each kit is a group, only one group is enabled and the preset UI switches between them by toggling the groups' ENABLED state. After #195 such a preset correctly converts to just the enabled kit - but the other kits become unreachable.
This adds an opt-in source option "Create one multi-sample per group" (CLI:
DecentSamplerMultisamplePerGroup=1, off by default): every group becomes its own multi-sample named<preset name> - <group name>, and disabled groups are included as well in this mode, so every kit of such a preset ends up as its own preset. With the option off the behavior is unchanged.Documented in README-FORMATS.md, CHANGELOG entry added.
Verified with "80s hits SSS043" (23 kit groups, 1277 samples): the option produces 23 presets whose zone counts add up to exactly 1277, each mapped and lossless; without the option the preset converts to the single enabled kit (40 zones) as before.
