Add a new target to export to .clap

[RustoMCSpit]

Describe the project you are working on

I am working on a project to make plugins for audio work. Typically, I'd do this with VST however CLAP has came out and is an open source alternative.

Below is info on clap and frameworks:

Describe the problem or limitation you are having in your project

I can't export to the .clap format

Describe the feature / enhancement and how it helps to overcome the problem or limitation

Adding clap export functionality

Describe how your proposal will work, with code, pseudo-code, mock-ups, and/or diagrams

An export to .clap option

If this enhancement will not be used often, can it be worked around with a few lines of script?

This can be a plugin but I doubt it could be a few lines

Is there a reason why this should be core and not an add-on in the asset library?

It could be an add-on but an export target is a core type of function

or something like this!

This would be something of interest for some audio-bound projects developed in Godot already. CLAP support is growing steadily for hosts, and the ability to create a native UI of sorts straight from Godot with a purpose-built audio API for real-time use and exported to CLAP for any target platform would be HUGE.

But it probably will need to have things like MIDI and Audio buffer hooks well-defined to tie in with the CLAP API as well, and that appears to be supported through third-party extensions in the C# or C/C++ space.
