Add inst chunks to generated sound files

[GoogleCodeExporter]

From Raine M. Ekman:

Hi!

Here's a patch against the current svn version. It adds the writing of
"smpl" chunks to .wav files. I don't know which (if any :) samplers support
them but at least Libsndfile does, so implementing this feature wasn't much
effort.

Some info on the different chunks used to be here, but it's gone at the moment:

I went ahead and applied this functionality to .wav files used in 'raw' 
patches, as
the data provided by 'inst' chunks is contained in patch files for other patch 
types
(hydrogen, sfz).  We can revisit the issue again if it's found that such 
information
would also benefit files of other types.

I'm curious to see if old trackers can use the 'inst' chunks in the files 
output by
'synthclone' to create a key/velocity map for their instruments.

Thanks for the patch!
