Add CLAP plugin support #7

CLAP was officially announced on July 15th of this year, and it seems to be a breath of fresh air for plugin formats. It's licensed under the MIT License and has interest from many of the big players in the audio space:

A list of companies interested in CLAP, with names like Arturia, Avid, Cockos, Image-Line, etc

However, due to it's recency, it could be hard to test and debug CLAP plugins, as there aren't that many hosts available for them. There's Bitwig of course, and I believe QTractor has support now too.

Adding CLAP support could give us an advantage over some of the bigger plugin frameworks, who move much slower on these new developments
