save and load sessions.

the user will be able to save the state of all apps supporting the API
with a single command/click.
and will be able to reload it. no more maintaining of connection setup
scripts and all the hassle involved before.

regarding app support:

already patched apps:
- jack-rack
- ghostess
- specimen
- guitarix

in queue:
- ardour
- fst
- seq24

i expect most jack apps for which session support makes sense to support
the API sooner or later.

session support cant be turned off by packagers without turning off jack
support. a lot of LASH enabled apps showed up in repos with lash support
disabled for example.

also this approach doesnt tie a users to a specific sessionmanager.
in this early state there are only jack_session_notify and pyjacksm
but i expect more session managers to show up during this year.
