[Feature Request] External MIDI control of BPM Tap

[TDeagan]

Add an additional Extended MIDI Automation Control for BPM Tap.

Purpose: I'd like to use an external device (with a big fat button,) to tap the tempo rather than trying to hit a specific key on the keyboard successfully during performances.

I'll investigate and see if I can code something up, though I'm more than happy to be pointed at the relevant sections in the source :-) (Though I may get super lazy since I don't have a current build environment set up and just use an arduino with a big button to send an F9 to the host system. )

Actually, I am adding some additional MIDI controls as I am adding playlist support for version 0.96. Check out the new entries in libseq64/include/midi_control.hpp in the "playlist" branch. If you're keen to get that going sooner rather than later, check out that branch and pick one of the "reserved" values.

However, I have not yet added space for the new group of controls in the optionsfile.cpp module, so beware!
