Add MIDI action for coarse pitch of whole instrument

Hydrogen version * : 1.2.3

At http://hydrogen-music.org/documentation/manual/manual_en_chunked/ch16s04.html it is described how to change the coarse pitch of an instrument's layer using MIDI commands. However, I would like to be able to change the coarse pitch of the instrument using a MIDI command. Unfortunately, I cannot find a MIDI action that does that in the documentation of H2. Would it be possible for you to add such a MIDI action?

Sure. Here you go

The new MIDI action is called INSTRUMENT_PITCH.

(Honestly, I'm a little puzzled when it comes to our MIDI API. A lot of rather useful actions, like setting various instrument parameters, humanization etc, are missing but some almost too specialized ones, like setting pitch and gain of a single layer, made it into the API. At some point we might introduce a large set of new actions covering meaningful actions that can be performed in Hydrogen. But this would require a refresh of some GUI parts too and is not of high priority right now).
