[LAA] Drumstick libraries v2.9.1 and dmidiplayer v1.7.4 released

# Drumstick Libraries v2.9.1

Drumstick is a set of MIDI libraries using C++/Qt idioms and style. 
Includes a C++ wrapper around the ALSA library sequencer interface: ALSA 
sequencer provides software support for MIDI technology on Linux. A 
complementary library provides classes for processing SMF (Standard MIDI 
files: .MID/.KAR), RIFF MIDI (.RMI), and Cakewalk (.WRK) file formats. A 
multiplatform realtime MIDI I/O library and a GUI Widgets libraries are 
also provided for Linux, Windows, and Mac OSX.

Changes in v2.9.1:

* RT library:
     * initialization of PipeWire in the FluidSynth backend.
     * fix for #25: FluidSynth backend, ability to configure chorus and 
reverb parameters.
     * fix for #24: FluidSynth backend, ability to set several soundfonts.
     * Fix for #19: preliminary support for Sysexes under windows. 
Thanks to Luca Santini.
* Widgets library:
     * fix for #25: FluidSynth settings dialog, configuration of chorus 
and reverb.
     * fix for #24: FluidSynth settings dialog, select several soundfonts.
* Misc:
     * fix for #21: github workflows.

# Drumstick Multiplatform MIDI File Player 1.7.4

Drumstick is a set of GPLv3 licensed C++/Qt libraries for MIDI 
applications. The project includes several tools as examples, and among 
them is the drumstick-guiplayer utility that leverages the 
Drumstick::ALSA library, so it is available only for Linux (because the 
ALSA sequencer is a linux only technology). Some people have requested a 
program with the same functionalities also on Windows and macOS, so here 
it is. But this project is much more ...

Some key features:

* MIDI Output to hardware MIDI ports, or any other Drumstick backends, 
like soft synths
* Transpose song tonality between -12 and +12 semitones
* Change MIDI volume level (using MIDI CC7)
* Scale song speed between half and double tempo
* Supports MID/KAR/RMI (Standard MIDI Files) and WRK (Cakewalk) file formats

Changes in v1.7.4:

* better sequence info dialog
* Fix for GH ticket #25: VanBasco web site is gone!
* Fix for GH ticket #20: High density of MIDI events slows down playback 
tempo
* Fix for GH ticket #22: Hanging note if dmidiplayer is closed using the 
close window button during playback
* GH actions - workflows
* Building with Qt6 by default. For Qt5 compatibility, a new option 
USE_QT5 must be set.
* Upgraded CMake requirement to 3.16
