/**
   DPF Plugin class from where plugin instances are created.
 
   The public methods (Host state) are called from the plugin to get or set host information.@n
   They can be called from a plugin instance at anytime unless stated otherwise.@n
   All other methods are to be implemented by the plugin and will be called by the host.
 
   Shortly after a plugin instance is created, the various init* functions will be called by the host.@n
   Host will call activate() before run(), and deactivate() before the plugin instance is destroyed.@n
   The host may call deactivate right after activate and vice-versa, but never activate/deactivate consecutively.@n
   There is no limit on how many times run() is called, only that activate/deactivate will be called in between.
 
   The buffer size and sample rate values will remain constant between activate and deactivate.@n
   Buffer size is only a hint though, the host might call run() with a higher or lower number of frames.
 
   Some of this class functions are only available according to some macros.
 
   DISTRHO_PLUGIN_WANT_PROGRAMS activates program related features.@n
   When enabled you need to implement initProgramName() and loadProgram().
 
   DISTRHO_PLUGIN_WANT_STATE activates internal state features.@n
   When enabled you need to implement initStateKey() and setState().
 
   The process function run() changes wherever DISTRHO_PLUGIN_WANT_MIDI_INPUT is enabled or not.@n
   When enabled it provides midi input events.
