[Jack-Devel] Jack 1.9.8 available for Linux, OSX, Windows

Jack 1.9.8 is API compatible with latest Jack 0.121.3 version.

This is the first version that contains the new MIDI driver model developed by Devin Anderson in spring of this year. This includes the Linux FFADO driver, the Mac OSX CoreMIDI driver, the Windows WinMME driver, and a new Linux 'alsarawmidi' slave driver that can run alongside other master drivers (i.e. FFADO).

- Merge newer-midi branch (Devin Anderson redesign of the MIDI drivers: alsarawmidi, ffado, coremidi and winmme). 
- Correction in jackdmp.cpp: notify_server_stop should be done after server destruction.
- Correct driver lifetime management. 
- Add XRun detection in PortAudio driver. 
- CELT code for NetJack2. 
- Merge branch switch-master-port-registration-notifications: correct driver port registration.

- Special CATCH_CLOSE_EXCEPTION_RETURN to handle Close API calls. 
- Add JACK_NETJACK_PORT and JACK_NETJACK_MULTICAST environment variables for NetJack2. 
- NetJack2 now only send data on network only is ports are connected both sides.
