Takashi Iwai 2cdf5ebedb arecordmidi2: Add initial version
arecordmidi2 is a similar program like arecordmidi for recording the
incoming MIDI events, but storing in a MIDI Clip file for MIDI 2.0.

Most options are kept from arecordmidi, but some are dropped: namely,
the -l, -m and -f options are dropped for code simplicity.
Also -s option is dropped as well, as there is no need for split for
MIDI Clip file unlike SMF.
