Lmms: A feature: File>Cleanup... to remove unused stuff from the project

[unfa]

The old projects have unused mixer channels (64 total).
Sometimes we get an empty automation track or a B+B pattern that's of no use.
Sometimes an instrument with no notes to play.
Or muted B+B clips that could as well be deleted.

I thought about adding a little dialog under File > Cleanup with several chekcboxes:

* Clean up *

[ ] Unused mixer channels
[ ] Empty automation tracks
[ ] Empty audio tracks
[ ] Unused instruments
[ ] Unused B+B patterns
[ ] Muted B+B clips
[ ] Muted instrument clips
[ ] Muted automation clips
[ ] Muted audio clips
[ ] Disabled effects in the mixer (unless they are enabled by automation)
[ ] Disabled effects in instruments
[ ] Dummy effects

It'd be also nice if the dialog could perform a test cleanup in the background and show the estimated change in project filesize after the cleanup.

@musikBear Ehm, you are aware of that the [] means checkbox, so if you don't want to unmute those, don't mark the checkbox

Still open?

[SecondFlight]

This feature has not been implemented yet, so the issue is still open.

[musikBear]

Actually, this very ^ selection table could 'simply' be added to a tab in Settings, and then the user could decide what he want to get auto-removed, so my style does not matter

@SecondFlight ill try something about this feature
