Import.cpp does not depend on subclasses of ImportPlugin...

... freeing 15 files from the big strongly connected component:

ImportFFmpeg & ODDecodeFFMpegTask (still in a cycle of two)
ImportFLAC
ImportGStreamer
ImportLOF
ImportMIDI
ImportMP3
ImportOGG
ImportPCM
ImportQT
ProjectFileManager
ProjectFSCK
ProjectManager
ProjectSelectionManager
ODDecodeFlacTask

And eight header files in src/import are deleted.

This breaks a lot of cycles because Import, which is still in the big component,
no longer includes ImportLOF, which recursively uses ProjectManager. A
registration system for the subclasses of ImportFileHandle allows that
recursion without the cyclic compilation dependencies.

-
-  David I. Murray
-
-  Supports the opening of ".lof" files which are text files that contain
-  a list of individual files to open in audacity in specific formats.
-
-  (In BNF) The syntax for an LOF file, denoted by <lof>:
-
-  <lof> ::= [<window> | <file> | <#>]*
-  <window> ::= window [<window-parameter>]* <newline>
-  <window-parameter> ::= offset <time> | duration <time>
-  <time> ::= [<digit>]+ [ . [<digit>]* ]
-  <file> ::= file [<file-parameter>]* <newline>
-  <file-parameter> ::= offset <time>
-  <#> ::= <comment> <newline>
-
-  EXAMPLE LOF file:
-
-  # everything following the hash character is ignored
-  window # an initial window command is implicit and optional
-  file "C:\folder1\sample1.wav"    # sample1.wav is displayed
-  file "C:\sample2.wav" offset 5   # sample2 is displayed with a 5s offset
-  File "C:\sample3.wav"            # sample3 is displayed with no offset
-  window offset 5 duration 10      # open a NEW window, zoom to display
-  # 10 seconds total starting at 5 (ending at 15) seconds
-  file "C:\sample3.wav" offset 2.5
-
-  SEMANTICS:
-
-  There are two commands: "window" creates a NEW window, and "file"
-  appends a track to the current window and displays the file there. The
-  first file is always placed in a NEW window, whether or not an initial
-  "window" command is given.
-
-  Commands have optional keyword parameters that may be listed in any
-  order. A parameter should only occur once per command. The "offset"
-  parameter specifies a time offset. For windows, this is the leftmost
-  time displayed in the window. For files, the offset is an amount by
-  which the file is shifted in time before display (only enabled for audio;
-  not midi). The offset is specified as an integer or decimal number of
-  seconds, and the default value is zero.
-
-  Windows may also have a "duration" parameter, which specifies how much
-  time should be displayed in the window. The default duration is equal
-  to the duration of the longest track currently displayed.
