PTPlayer 6.4 patches

install.sh (component ptplayer) applies these to PTPlayer 6.4's ptplayer.asm in filename order as it installs it. The Amiga plays modules through PTPlayer and every other port through JoeyLib's module player (src/core/modPlayer.c, PTPlayer's replay translated to C), so these keep the Amiga's playback the same as theirs.

Patch What it fixes Needed by
0001-protracker-2.3-effects Four places PTPlayer strays from Protracker 2.3, whose behaviour the module player keeps: its volume slide sets Paula's period back to the note's, which is right for Axy but undid 6xy's vibrato, 5xy's glissando, and a tick of either under EAx/EBx; its arpeggio counts from the note's index, not the period a slide has left (and never reads on into the next finetune's periods past B-3); and its tremolo is half Protracker's depth, with its saw ramping by its own position rather than the vibrato's. And 6xy read its vibrato depth into a register whose high byte held whatever came before, so the vibrato read past its table (hidden while the period was set back each tick). the Amiga's module playback; tests/host/modPlayerHost.c checks the module player's side
