FEATURE FOCUS: Improved audio plug-in scanning performance

[_durin_]

We're proud to announce significant improvements to audio effect plug-in scanning which in some cases can be up to 62x faster than before.  Generally, MacOS users should see improvements from 4x-15x and Windows users will experience scanning speed increases around 9.5x for typical third party plugins.  Even more impressive, users with popular effect bundles by companies like Waves can see those packages scan 25x faster on Windows and a whopping 62x faster on MacOS.  

Please try scanning for audio plugins, and ensure you re-scan existing plug-ins, to see the improved performance and share your results.

Hi Durin-

I can confirm that the scan was very quick. However, it looks like it's disabled the VST (not VST3) version of my Waves bundle. When I opened a session utilizing the VST copy of the effects, I get a "Missing Plugin" notification. The VST3 version of the effects, as well as the AU versions work, but until this update, the VST copy also worked. Is that expected behavior? 

Edit: I'm on MacOS 10.15.5 Catalina.
