MT32 MidiDriver:

- Channels now ignore effectLevel() and chorusLevel(), instead of sending unsupported control change messages to MT32Emu (they're not supported in a real MT-32, either, according to docs).
- Implemented setPitchBendRange() by sending a sysex write command to adjust the patch.
- _outputRate is now hard-coded at 32000, until tuning can be fixed for other sample rates.

MT32EMu:
- Extended File interface to deal with reading/writing 16/32-bit values endian-independently (they're always big-endian on file).
- Improved usage of packing-related pragmas.
- Should now be endian-agnostic (without depending on #defines for the endianness).
