Smart Mute/Solo for drum maps

When a virtual instrument MIDI or audio track is soloed or muted, SONAR automatically manages muting or soloing the related set of audio/MIDI tracks in order to properly playback the soloed/muted tracks. Previously, this logic only worked for normal instrument tracks or split synth tracks, but did not take into account tracks that routed through drum maps.

Smart mute and solo is now fully supported for tracks that route through drum maps. When a MIDI track is sent to a drum map, the MIDI data from the track or realtime live MIDI is routed through the drum map to all destination ports in the map. The destination ports may reference multiple virtual instruments ports or hardware MIDI outputs. When any tracks associated with a drum map are soloed/muted, SONAR now determines the set of all related tracks and solos/mutes them appropriately.
