Talon fc378e733b Add play-current-bar-only
Ctrl+Alt+Space plays the cursor's bar and stops at the next bar line, so the
same bar can be fired repeatedly while nudging a note without reaching for
stop. Alt+Space keeps its play-onwards behaviour.

The stop is performed by the preview daemon rather than the action script: a
script that stayed alive waiting for the bar to end would bring back REAPER's
"already running" prompt on the next press, which is the problem the daemon
exists to avoid. Stopping transport can move the edit cursor depending on
preferences, and the edit cursor is the grid cursor, so the daemon restores it.

A short arming window covers the gap between requesting playback and the
transport reporting as playing, so the pending stop is not cancelled instantly.

MIDI Grid: preview daemon.
Runs quietly in the background and owns every preview note-on/note-off.
The action scripts never defer, so they always exit instantly and Reaper
never shows its "already running" prompt no matter how fast keys repeat.
Started automatically by the action scripts; you never need to run it.
