Populate strips output menus with a more user-friendly heuristic

Ensure the master bus is the first proposed bundle if it is present.
Also propose internal route inputs before physical outs or other
software via JACK.

Last, but not least, add to the menu not only exactly matching bundles,
but also bundles that have the same number of channels than the route
output when considering only the DataType we think the user wants to
use. This covers both the case of a MIDI+STEREO instrument track
connecting to master, and the case of a STEREO track connecting to a
MIDI+STEREO vocoder track.
