Please don't force FluidSynth to use ALSA

SLADE Version: 3.1.12a Operating System: Linux

Issue Details: You have hardcoded FluidSynth to use ALSA because it was apparently preferring JACK in some cases. Please review this decision as ALSA isn't necessarily enabled everywhere. In my case, I see this error.

fluidsynth: error: SDL2 not initialized
fluidsynth: error: Couldn't find the requested audio driver 'alsa'.
fluidsynth: Valid drivers are: file, pulseaudio, sdl2

Okay, I now see that you can change this in slade3.cfg but I'm packaging this up for Gentoo and I don't want users to have to do this.
