audio: WASAPI exclusive resampling, buffer size increase options (#727)

## Description of change

Resampler:
Implement resampler for exclusive mode streams, as we are seeing more
and more devices - not just laptops but onboard audio devices - that
only support 48khz and not 44.1khz. Should work with volume boost (gain
calculated inside resample) and also downmixer (hands off intermediate
scratch buffers).

Buffer size increase:
By default many of these games request a tiny buffer when in shared mode
(TDJ uses 3ms). On some audio setup this results in crackling due to
underflow. Add an option to forcibly increase the buffer size.

## Testing
With resampler set to 48kHz and buffer set to 20ms I can reliably boot
and play IIDX on my display port monitor's speakers; previously this
wasn't possible. IIDX is event-driven.

Tested SDVX7 as well at 48kHz, which opens timer-driven streams.
