Fix displaying of notes in auto-created MIDI region when it's the first region in the track.

Fix crash after recording long phrases of MIDI.
Fix MIDI looping (kinda).
Add note-off exposure to MidiModel::iterator.
Fix first-note-is-stuck-note problem.
Fix resolving long notes while recording.
Fix several other things I forget now.  MIDI works pretty well.....
