Add button to each channel to enable/disable metering

[dsheeler]

This also disables processing of the metering on C side, though that's minimal in the case of non-kmetering. Closes #102.

I get the following error message when I open an existing mixer settings XML file:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/chris/work/jack_mixer/jack_mixer/channel.py", line 342, in on_metering_toggled

@SpotlightKid: fixed it

Repeating what I said on #jack_mixer:

I must say, I don't like the extra button, it takes up additional vertical space and is also rather wide, preventing the channels from being as narrow as they can, when set to narrow width.

Maybe we should think about overhauling the channel buttons layout and put them all in a grid structure, each the same size and maybe image instead of text labels.
We could then also move the prefader meter button there.

@SpotlightKid Where would we get images for the buttons?

It would be nice to have C side initialization of the metering boolean. This would help keep metering disabled when building just the C application. Cheers for the new feature! Athanasios

I don't know, check some of the common web icon fonts?
