Extend management class to allow saving / restoring devices

[johndpope]

I acknowledge your efforts with this library which is amazing -
but without a boiler plate connect manager class like this
https://github.com/zakk4223/CocoaSplit/blob/master/CocoaSplit/CSMidiWrapper.h
there's a degree of unnecessary difficulty in storing / saving preferences.

The vvmidid open source library had a plist of preferred / enabled devices. vvmanager.
load settings which gives quite a bit of mileage.

Hi John,

I like this idea. In the Mixed In Key apps that use MIKMIDI, we have such a class, but it's part of the application code, not something in MIKMIDI. I can certainly see the value in MIKMIDI providing a generic, nicely reusable connection manager class. I'm not sure when I'll be able to implement this, but a pull request would certainly be welcome :).

Turns out this matches up well with something I'm working in one of our apps today, so I'm going to give it a shot.

Awesome Andrew. Happy to test it out.
Something you may want to consider - the value in this for me - is storing the preference around whether the user has enabled / disabled an input / output device.

Yep, that's part of what we need too.
