functions
Indexing is a lengthy process and had a high chance of getting RenderWorkers
stuck doing it rather than being responsive to cache requests. This commit
introduces a system where workers never index media, but instead signal that
media is not ready to their RenderBackends which ensure that the media gets
indexed and re-queues the affected frames when those indexes are ready.

When "probing" footage, Olive runs it past all of its decoders until one
responds that it can decode this file. However this caused issues when some
OIIO decoders would erroneously pick up incompatible files, try to read them
and segfault the entire app (notable OpenJPEG with MPEG-4 and RLA with WAVE
audio). We now use the file extension to check with OIIO if it "should" be
compatible before actually testing if it is.
This is not a "perfect" solution (i.e. someone could recreate the segfault by
renaming an MPEG-4 file to an image extension like .JPG), but is probably as
much as can be done Olive-side and should filter out all segfaults under normal
circumstances.
OIIO 2.x uses std::unique_ptr while 1.x uses raw pointers. Olive can now handle
both, manually destroying the raw pointers when necessary if running on OIIO
1.x.
The import function was written early on in the rewrite as a multithreaded
background task that was considered somewhat flawed. While it worked for the
most part, there were possibilities of race conditions that could have
potentially been fatal, particularly since media could theoretically be
deleted while the import/probe tasks were running in the background.
With the save/load functions coming in, it became even more complicated as
projects may include metadata about the footage that can't be implemented
easily when the footage is imported/probed in the background. Making importing
a modal task fixes all of these issues, it's still done in a background thread
to not hang the GUI thread, but the GUI thread can be briefly "paused" in a
user friendly way so that all these functions can be safer.
