(System-wide) Snippets #198

I think it'd be cool if MilkyTracker supported snippets, either in midi or xm formats. I'm... not sure how you'd import them, exactly, but the idea is you'd put them in a system-wide location that other programs could also use, like ~/Snippets or something (with future-proofing by using an XDG User Dirs directory (XDG_SNIPPETS_DIR?), but falling back to ~/Snippets if unset or empty), and they'd just be midi or xm files like any other tbh.

I do not think templates are the right location for this. Leave those for whole files, not something that's basically a glorified clipboard.

Aren't pattern files snippets?
