Solved foobar2000

• Thorough fix for implicit resampling (WASAPI shared) vs low latency in smooth seeking mode.
• When doing both implicit resampling and channel remapping, do it in order that costs less CPU (resample then upmix, or downmix then resample).
• Console now sanitizes bad UTF-8 in received text instead of going off the rails.
• Fixed a bug that made files where tag reading fails impossible to add to playlist.
