[LAA] Beast 0.12.0

After quite a bit of polishing and last minute regression fixing, Beast 0.12
is finally out.

  https://beast.testbit.org/pub/beast-0.12.0.tar.xz
  https://beast.testbit.org/pub/deb/beast_0.12.0_amd64.deb

The latest stable release is now tracked by a new git branch
named 'wip/latest-stable'. Beware of non-linear updates to future
stable releases:

This release removes the Rapicorn dependency as well as the
runtime dependency on CPython. To achieve that, a number of
utilities from Rapicorn has to be integrated, which has made the
code base a fair bit larger:

  651 files changed, 75581 insertions(+), 44596 deletions(-)

Most notably, this is the first release that installs the new
ebeast UI. Tracks, piano rolls and dB meters are already displayed,
but not much beyond that as it's still in pre-alpha stage.
However it's a good showcase for our future UI direction, you can
start it and take a quick look with:

  $prefix/beast-0-12/bin/ebeast
