    Stretch ratio simplification attempt (#12290) Resolves: #12209 (resolves it on master - ticket is already resolved for 4.0.1) Resolves: #12266 A clip's stretch ratio is now stored as one variable. It used to be based on `mRawAudioTempo`, `mClipStretchRatio` and `mClipTempo` (the latter being the current project's tempo or a freeze of it if the user unchecked the "Stretch to match project tempo" box). This simplification lumps those three in just one variable, `mStretchRatio`. It's based on the belief (reviewers please challenge this) that the raw tempo, issued from the detection, really only is needed once at import. The PR also adds a plethora of test cases: that's because a wrong parsing of the stretch ratio from a legacy project file can lead to many bugs (clips cutting each other, trim boundaries not respected, etc). They are largely based on those in @kryksyh 's PR #12213 <!-- Use "x" to fill the checkboxes below like [x] --> - [x] I signed [CLA](https://www.audacityteam.org/cla/) - [x] This PR includes AI assistance - [x] If the PR is AI-assisted, I have read, understood and complied with the [guidelines for AI-assisted contributions](https://github.com/audacity/audacity/blob/master/AI_POLICY.md) - [x] The title of the pull request describes an issue it addresses - [x] If changes are extensive, then there is a sequence of easily reviewable commits - [x] Each commit's message describes its purpose and effects - [x] There are no behavior changes unnecessary for the stated purpose of the PR Recommended: - [x] Each commit compiles and runs on my machine without known undesirable changes of behavior
