Press a checkbox and drag over its neighbours: each box the pointer
passes takes the state the first one switched to, until the button is
released. A click toggles one box, as before. Same design as VectorCraft
and PhotoCraft.
widgets::checkbox wraps egui's checkbox and adds the drag; every
ui.checkbox call in ui-egui uses it. Only boxes the pointer can see are
set, so rows scrolled out of a list or under another window stay as
they are.
Tests: widgets::tests (drag sets, drag unchecks and stops at release,
hidden rows untouched, a click toggles one) and tests/group_dialog.rs
(dragging down the Group dialog's track list groups every track).
Window > Mix in Separate Window (window.mix_separate, kept with the UI
preferences) shows the Mix window in its own native window through an
egui immediate viewport, so Edit and Mix can be seen at once, e.g. one
per monitor. The main window then keeps Edit; Window > Mix and
Cmd/Ctrl+= bring the Mix window to the front; closing it puts Mix back
into the main window. Backends without multiple windows show it as a
floating egui window.

Applying new audio device settings replaced the player while plugin
editor windows were open: the old instances went away with it (possibly
on the audio thread, where windows cannot be closed) and their editor
windows stayed on screen orphaned. Player::close_editors closes them on
the main thread first.

Setup > Playback Engine now chooses the audio system (cpal host), output
and input device, device sample rate and buffer size, kept per machine
with the UI preferences and applied by reopening the devices (refused
while recording; the transport position is kept). ui.audio_device does
the same for agents and lists every system with its devices, channels,
rates and buffer range.
Player and recorder open the chosen device, fall back to the defaults
for anything unavailable (unplugged device, unsupported rate), retry
with the device's default buffer when the chosen one is refused, and
convert 32/16-bit integer devices from and to the f32 mix through
scratch buffers allocated up front (no allocation in the callbacks).
ASIO is behind an opt-in 'asio' feature (playback and app): building it
downloads Steinberg's ASIO SDK (proprietary licence or GPLv3) and needs
LLVM, so it stays off by default. Verified on Windows with an SSL 2+:
WASAPI output/input switching and buffer 256, ASIO duplex at 128.

Plugins that offer no floating editor (most CLAP plugins on Windows) now
get a host window of SoundCraft's: the GUI is created embedded, parented
to a top-level HWND owned by the app window, sized from get_size, resized
on request_resize (applied by the editor's idle on the main thread, then
set_size), and torn down when the user closes the window. Floating
editors work as before; other platforms still report embedded editors
as unsupported.

Adds a Windows implementation of the editor host window: a top-level HWND
owned by the app's active window (no taskbar button), sized from the
view's rect, resized on IPlugFrame::resizeView, hidden on close and torn
down by the editor link's idle like on macOS. The main thread is the one
Rust names "main", where the app runs its message loop.
Also fixes two Windows-only build problems that kept the VST3 tests from
running there: the fixture's bus flags (the vst3 bindings use i32 enums
with MSVC) and an unused variable in a unix-only test.

mix.instrument only read `plugin` and `track` and ignored every other field, so a
synth setting written beside `plugin` (cutoff, amp_sustain, level…) came back
as success and the render never changed.
It now takes the built-in instrument's parameters in `params`, validated before
anything is changed (unknown ids and non-numbers are errors, values are
clamped into range), and refuses any other field with a message that points to
`params` and mix.instrument_param.
The master faders process the main mix after every track and aux return has been
summed, so a lookahead insert on them (the Maximizer: 71 samples at 48 kHz)
delays the whole main mix. The mix's compensation latency, which a bounce drops
from the head of the render, left it out, so the bounce came out late by the
insert's latency (the voice was 71 samples later than in the same mix without
the Maximizer).
The latency of the master inserts is now part of the mix latency. With Delay
Compensation off nothing changes.
render_bus dropped only the track-insert latency from a bus, but an aux that
returns onto a bus delays it by the slowest aux return as well. With Delay
Compensation on, a bounce of such a bus came out late (a 5 ms lookahead left
240 leading silent frames) and its last impulse fell outside the requested end.
The engine now knows which busses an aux returns onto. A bounce of one drops
the aux latency too, and the tracks routed straight to that bus wait for it, as
the tracks routed to the main mix already do, so the two kinds of signal on the
bus arrive together. Other busses and the main mix are unchanged.
