audiolatency: New plugin for measuring audio latency

Measures the audio latency between the source pad and the sink pad by
outputting period ticks on the source pad and measuring how long they
take to arrive on the sink pad.

Very useful for quantifying latency improvements in audio pipelines.
This plugin was particularly useful during development of the
low-latency features of the wasapi plugin.
