Lmms: LFO Controller/Automation exports poorly

[Firepal]

Bug Summary

Automating a property with an LFO Controller works fine in real-time playback, but it seems to be only occasionally sampled on export (regardless of the file format AFAIK), and sounds "stepped" as a result

Steps to reproduce

LMMS project file
bugrep.zip

Listen to the project file first, and then export to WAV or some other format

if you want to do it manually with the default file:

1. Add an LFO Controller with any settings (Sine wave and tempo-synced to Eight Beats for example)
   

2. Connect it to a Coarse Detuning knob in the TripleOscillator
   

3. Add a pattern with a long note and play it in the Song Editor; the TripleOsc should sound fine as expected
   

4. Export it to some audio file format and listen to the exported file
   
   

Expected behavior

The exported audio file sounds like the real-time playback of LMMS with no issues

Actual behavior

The exported audio file has very noticeable "jumps" in the LFO Controller

Affected LMMS versions

Branch: master. I've noticed this issue on stable 1.2.x as well.
This never occured in 1.1.3.

This is another issue with automatic signal-slot connections that should be direct instead. I fixed the ones in the core, LADSPA, and VST in #4692 and #4942, but didn't touch the built-in plugins.

Just took a leisurely stroll in the TripleOscillator's code to see if setting all the signals to be DirectConnections would fix this, and it did, and I'm definitely surprised that the fix is _that_ small. But I'd venture to guess it would take a good chunk of time to add this fix to all of the plugins...

I'm not currently working on this, so if you'd like to open a PR with your changes, that would be very welcome. Don't worry about fixing all the plugins at once - any fix is better than nothing.
