Artem Lytkin fa876218d1 midi: open MIDI devices only when a core requests the interface
drivers_init enumerated and opened the MIDI devices on every start,
whether or not a core would ever use them. With the default WinMM
driver and "Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth" output that means a MIDI
stream for every Windows user, and on Windows 11 the first WinMM MIDI
call after boot starts the Windows MIDI Service and blocks until it is
up. That is the slow first launch in #19247.

Keep driver selection in drivers_init, and enumerate and open the
devices when a core calls GET_MIDI_INTERFACE. The request survives
driver reinits (SET_SYSTEM_AV_INFO, audio latency changes) and is
dropped when the core is unloaded. The menu device lists are filled
on demand without opening a device.

Frame Delay no longer relies on the MIDI stream holding the timer
period down since 5c30a403be, and the WASAPI workaround for it was
removed in 8d4bccac55.

Fixes #19247
