Fixes bugs where during project loading (observed with VST effects), empty
widgets and sub-windows would be left floating around. These were caused by
inconsistencies between the way VST UIs were created when loading a project
and when adding an effect in an existing project. In some situations, this
caused createUI to be called twice, leaving over multiple empty widgets.
This commit refactors some code in order to avoid creating unnecessary sub-
windows, which aren't needed with VST effects, but were still created,
usually being invisible. All sub-window related code was moved out of
VstPlugin into vestige.cpp, which is the only place where sub-window VSTs
are actually used. A new sub-class of VstPlugin, VstInstrumentPlugin, now
handles VST sub-windows and is used by vestigeInstrument.
"guivisible" attribute loading was moved out of VstPlugin as well and is
now done in VstEffectControls' and vestigeInstrument's loadSettings method
respectively. This causes some minor code duplication unfortunately.
Closes#4110
LMMS now properly builds and runs with Qt5. Various deprecated functions
had to be replaced like QString::toAscii()/fromAscii(). Also occurences
of FALSE/TRUE have been replaced with false/true.
LmmsStyle now derives from QProxyStyle and sets a style instance as base
style (Plastique for Qt4, Fusion for Qt5).
MOC files are not included anymore but added as regular source files.
What's missing is support for embedding VST plugins into a subwindow
inside LMMS on Linux/X11 due to missing QX11EmbedContainer class in Qt5.
Build instructions can be found in INSTALL.Qt5
Minimum version requirement for Qt4 has been raised to 4.6.0 for best
API compatibility between Qt4 and Qt5.
Also removed all blocks similar to
```
#if QT_VERSION >= 0x040806
filedialog.setOption( QFileDialog::DontUseCustomDirectoryIcons );
#endif
```
as this now takes place in the new subclass's constructor.
Various fixes improvements:
+ Added support for VST parameters control for windows.
+ New `Close` button for VST parameter controls.
+ Faster GUI for all instruments, effects-loading, not only VSTs,
and both one-instrument track window mode and normal window
mode should be supported.
+ Better integration for VST GUIs on Linux, e.g. plugin window
should not stay always on top of other windows.
+ VST GUI overlook should remain same with different wine setups
( except for whole virtual desktops emulations ).
+ VST effect control window merged with VST effect editor window
should be more easier to control.
+ Little corections at effectviews model updates of instrument
tracks effect chains.

src/core/RemotePlugin.cpp @ RemotePlugin::process
Above function should be now more thread safe, but functionality remains.
This prevent lmms locks, when automation is connected to lmms VST plugin wrappers controler / knob on Linux.
On win32 build whenever is lmms wrapper parameter controler / knob amended.
plugins/vst_base/VstPlugin.cpp @ VstPlugin::setParam
plugins/vst_base/RemoteVstPlugin.cpp @ RemoteVstPlugin::processMessage
In above functions we dont wait for message confirmation when parameter setter function finish, and dont send such confirmations.
This workaround prevent locks on Linux, whenever there is automation connected and if you try to move with VST plugin
(not via lmms plugins wrapper, but with VSTs internal window) than it freezes, on win32 build it will freeze whenever you connect
automation and than if you move your mouse above this VST plugin window.
