DSP: Ensure that IRs are loaded immediately when Convolution is prepared

Previously, if `loadImpulseResponse` was called before `prepareToPlay`,
the IR wasn't guaranteed to have loaded before the first call to
`processSamples`.

Now, we flush the queue of pending IR-load commands during
`prepareToPlay`, which should ensure that the most recently-loaded IR is
ready to use immediately.
