In all years of using these assert()s never triggered. Besides
there are valid_port() tests in other strategic locations that
are not periodically hit in realtime context.

"While 'atomic' has a volatile qualifier, this is a historical
artifact and the pointer passed to it should not be volatile."
Furthermore "It is very important that all accesses to a
particular integer or pointer be performed using only this API"
(from https://developer.gnome.org/glib/2.68/glib-Atomic-Operations.html)
Hence initialization of atomic variables is changed to also use
this API, instead of directly initializing the value.
This also fixes a few cases where atomic variables were
accessed directly.

The backend holds `_port_callback_mutex` while disconnecting ports.
In some cases disconnecting a port can drop the last reference
resulting in a port-deletion from the connection handler.
This in turn will eventually aquire the `_port_callback_mutex`
and deadlock.
This is now circumvented by using atomic operations instead of
taking a lock to set the `_port_change_flag`.
The flag is also used to trigger a latency update in some cases,
atomic is preferable to taking a lock to set this flag.

The warning "samples per period does not match." never triggered.
Previously not being able to set the requested buffersize was a
fatal error.
This adds support for soundcards that only support msec.
e.g. recent HDA Intel via SOF (Sound Open Firmware)
This allow to restore original engine port-names as set
by the backend. ALSA MIDI, CoreAudio, CoreMIDI and PortAudio
drivers can provide human readable physical port names for
some devices.
This fixes an issue with some soundcards e.g. "AxeFx III".
Device configuration fails unless set_hwpar() is performed
for the capture device before configuring the playack
device (half duplex is fine, too).
This is mainly for RME RayDAT that has a fixed buffersize of 16k:
dev_name : hw:HDSPMxc2f6c5,0
channels : 36
min_rate : 32000
max_rate : 192000
min_bufz : 16384
max_bufz : 16384
min_nper : 4
max_nper : 512
However nperiod configuration determines the effective latency
regardless.
This is similar to https://github.com/jackaudio/jack1/blob/master/drivers/alsa/alsa_driver.c#L476-L486
This adds a basic support to use multiple sound-cards, currently
limited to two devices: In/Out with shared settings.
Advanced setups still have to resort to using the ARDOUR_ALSA_EXT
environment variable
