Stop visualization processing when the host window is completely
occluded, thus reducing background CPU usage levels significantly

Now the API makes both PCM and FFT data optional, and will do nothing if
neither are requested. Also, it now supports a latency offset in seconds
with floating point precision. The two built-in visualizations currently
request zero larency. Increasing the latency asks for even older samples
while specifying a negative count requests samples from the "future"
relative to what the listener is hearing.

The output now uses AVSampleBufferAudioRenderer to play all formats, and
uses that to resample. It also supports Spatial Audio on macOS 12.0 or
newer. Note that there are some outstanding bugs with Spatial Audio
support. Namely that it appears to be limited to only 192 kHz at mono or
stereo, or 352800 Hz at surround configurations. This breaks DSD64
playback at stereo formats, as well as possibly other things. This is
entirely an Apple bug. I have reported it to Apple with reference code
FB10441301 for reference, in case anyone else wants to complain that it
isn't fixed.

All optional fallback code for older versions has also been removed, and
everything now assumes 10.13.0 or newer. Some cases are still included
for point releases, such as 10.13.2.

When visualizer windows are created, but not actually visible, stop the
update timer, to save processing, especially if the vis is enabled in
one or the other main/mini windows.

Gate registering observers behind a check variable in the object state,
which will be zero initialized by the Objective-C runtime, and will
prevent the class from erroneously unregistering observers without them
being registered in the first place. Apparently, services cannot be
unregistered if they were never registered first, or else an exception
will be thrown upon attempting to unregister them. This fixes a crash on
startup in the now several times running failure to work properly on
legacy Macs without Metal graphics, now that the new visualization
system has been implemented.
It's probably not worth bringing back the previous Core Graphics based
visualizer method anyway, as on those same legacy machines, it was
causing out of control CPU usage by WindowServer. At least on modern
Macs, any amount of 60fps UI updating will cause WindowServer to use
about 45% of a core, regardless of how many apps are drawing that much
at once.

If the system has no working Metal devices, disable the visualization.
The legacy visualization was also too slow for said systems to handle
reasonably anyway, so I guess it's safe to say that they shouldn't have
to handle any visualizers at all. At least have working audio playback,
of course, since that is the primary function of the application. Too
bad that the OpenGL renderers don't work on my scene, it would be nice
to have a fallback there. GL 4.1 crashes on an M1, and both GL 4.1 and
3.2 crash with SIGFPE division by zero error on Intel Macs without Metal
devices. Meh.

The frequency mode, apparently the default, doesn't like that the code
was setting the width of the spectrum data to 11 instead of the default
1000. This was causing it to overwrite freed memory when the spectrum
started processing audio.

Apparently, old macOS wants to divide something by the scale size, so
setting it to zero causes division by zero errors? Let's set it to a
really small number instead.

Enable 8x multisampled anti-aliasing, to improve the appearance of the
spectrum on non-Retina/HiDPI displays. It can't really hurt on HiDPI,
either. Hopefully this won't cause it to use a whole load of GPU
resources, more than is reasonable.

Introduced a brand new spectrum view based on SceneKit, with a scene
created by @kddlb and then altered by me to add the peak spheres. This
new scene should be lighter on display resources, even though it's fully
3D instead of a vector 2D scene done in Cocoa drawing primitives.

Reduce the virtual resolution to match the actual resolution, and set
the analyzere frequency to Nyquist of the audio input, as it seems to
behave as if the entire range of the input FFT bands are up to the
specified frequency, rather than half of it. Otherwise, we lose half of
the frequency range provided by the input data.
