An earlier commit implementing media in and out parameters was primarily for
this addition. A simple control dialog for the clip's speed presentation
reimplemented from the old codebase.
Previous iteration used some "magic code" that added clips automatically to the
timeline. This was functional but ultimately outside of the undo commands'
control meaning nodes could be infinitely added and abandoned. This makes the
add process part of the undo command which means it's all undoable as the user
would expect.
Workers run in different threads and the backends can poll whether the worker
is currently busy or not. However the previous iteration has the worker (and an
atomic int) provide the busy state which could easily desync with the main
thread (since all workers run in different threads). By holding the busy states
in the main thread, the main thread will always be able to poll the busy state
accurately.
Fixes recurring design issue that the Blocks were a frequent exception to the
DAG concept. The Blocks connecting to each others inputs/outputs while not
necessarily being "dependent" on each other to produce an image continually
causes issues while trying to create a rendering code path. This redesign
should provide a more "directed" approach to the directed acyclic graph.
