rtmidi-2.1.0 in giada-0.8.4 and adding rtaudio-4.1.1

Not sure where to place this.

I'm using giada-0.8.4 and follow giada from git.
Latest changes in git is using rtmidi-2.1.0 but giada-0.8.4 still requires rtmidi-2.0.1

As there is only a minor API change (renaming RtError to RtMidiError) and
'Windows Kernel Streaming support was removed because it was uncompilable and incomplete' -
using the new release should be straight forward - here http://sprunge.us/CBKT?diff is a patch using rtmidi-2.1.0 in giada-0.8.4

I've also played with the new rtaudio-4.1.1 replacing embedded rtaudio in giada-0.8.4 and giada-git
This http://sprunge.us/ZLRh?diff patch adds jack support (__HACK__getJackClient()) - no version hack any more.

## prepare new rtaudio src
rm -fr rtaudio-4.1.1/{doc,autom4te.cache,contrib}
patch -p1 -i rtaudio-4.1.1.patch

## This is needed for (Arch) linux
(cd rtaudio-4.1.1; aclocal; autoconf)

## replace rtaudio
rm -fr giada-0.8.4-src/src/rtaudio
mv rtaudio-4.1.1 giada-0.8.4-src/src/rtaudio

## API name change
sed -i 's/RtError/RtAudioError/g' giada-0.8.4-src/src/kernelAudio.cpp

So far it works fine using alsa
I hope it helps someone, somehow.

Great work Arty, we can finally get rid of the embedded RtAudio, among other things. We will update the docs very soon. Thanks for your help ;)
