Try to avoid using the discrete GPU on multi-GPU systems to save power.
Add NSSupportsAutomaticGraphicsSwitching to BGMApp's Info.plist in the
hopes that it will use the integrated GPU when possible. BGMApp doesn't
need to use the fastest GPU, so it's better to save battery power.

Untested because I don't have the right hardware. (I actually have an
iMac with a discrete GPU, but the integrated GPU seems to be disabled.)

See #284 and

Fix apps failing to start audio after upgrading Background Music.
A macOS bug was stopping BGMXPCHelper from running, which would stop
BGMDevice from starting IO. It would wait in StartIO until timing out.

I'm not sure why that didn't cause BGMDriver's XPC connection fail. If
it had, BGMDevice would have just started IO without waiting for BGMApp
to be ready. The it would have just dropped some initial frames and
logged an error instead of freezing for 30 seconds.

The fix/workaround is to delete the old version of BGMXPCHelper before
installing the new one.

Hopefully fix a segfault caused by BGM_PlayThrough.
Issue #276 reported a segfault that occurred while BGMApp was launching.
It was caused by BGM_PlayThrough's output IOProc when it tried to read
from the ring buffer. I haven't been able to reproduce the problem, so I
don't know whether this commit will actually fix it. Hopefully it will
at least make it easier to diagnose.

This commit adds locking around accesses to the buffer so that the
IOProcs will skip the current IO cycle if it isn't safe to use the ring
buffer. That should only happen during launch or when changing the
output device. (And only if something else has gone wrong.)

Fix BGMDriver and BGMXPCHelper's version strings for SNAPSHOT builds.
And DEBUG builds. The "-SNAPSHOT-abc0123" suffix was only being added to
the version string for BGMApp.

Add a repackage option (-r) to package.sh.
It takes an expanded Background Music .pkg installer and repackages it
into a new .pkg installer. It's mainly useful for code signing, since
you have to expand the unsigned package, sign each of the bundles,
repackage it and then sign the new package.

Also, fix build_and_install.sh putting the BGMXPCHelper dSYMs in the
wrong archive.

Add an archive option (-a) to build_and_install.sh.
Archiving is the standard way to build a release for distribution using
Xcode. package.sh now uses this option when it creates a release
package.

This change is mainly to keep the Run settings in the Xcode schemes from
affecting the release builds, which means we can commit the schemes with
more sensible settings.

Also, disable AddressSanitizer in the BGMDevice scheme, which was
stopping coreaudiod from launching because its sandbox won't allow the
process to load the AddressSanitizer dylib.

Add optional debug logging in release builds.
Clicking the status bar icon with the option key held now reveals a
setting that enables debug logging in BGMApp. It's enabled by default in
debug builds.

It doesn't enable debug logging in BGMDriver or BGMXPCHelper yet.

This will hopefully make it easier for people to include logs when they
report bugs that don't occur with most hardware or are otherwise hard to
reproduce.

Enabling debug logging should be unlikely to cause audio glitches, but I
haven't tried to make it completely safe.

Also,
 - add some basic unit tests for BGMPlayThrough and expand the mocks for
   the CoreAudio HAL API,
 - fix the UI tests so you can run them without code signing them, and
 - update copyright years.

Add a copy of CARingBuffer to the BGMDriver project.
It was using the copy in the BGMApp project, but for historical reasons
they both have a separate copy of the PublicUtility classes. We haven't
gotten around to combining them yet, so this commit is to keep them
consistent until we do.

Also, some minor clean up in BGMDriver related to #218.

BGMDriver: Copy settings when a new client matches an existing one.
If the new client has the same bundle ID as an existing one, we now copy
its settings (volume, etc.) to the new client. This is to fix app
volumes not being applied consistently to apps that play audio through
multiple subprocesses (specifically Google Chrome). See #61.

Add an additional method for restarting coreaudiod.
The install and uninstall scripts try to restart coreaudiod in a number
of ways until one works. Despite that, it still wasn't always successful
when I tested it on macOS Catalina. This commit will hopefully fix that.

Make sure Homebrew Travis CI builds won't show a password prompt.
`sudo` is usually passwordless in Travis CI builds, but for some reason
`sudo -v` still causes a password prompt in macOS Travis builds.

_uninstall-non-interactive.sh already included a workaround for this,
but it doesn't work when the Travis build for the Homebrew Cask calls
`brew uninstall background-music`, which then calls
_uninstall-non-interactive.sh. The old workaround used the `TRAVIS` env
var, but Homebrew seems to run the script in an environment without it.

See <https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask/pull/67524>.
