Fixes (some cases of) plugins ignoring saved `(x, y)` coordinates when a project is loaded. The canvas can get notified of a plugin's position before the plugin is actually added, so when the plugin is actually it just goes to the default position. This happens because `PatchbayClientPositionChanged` events can arrive before `PatchbayClientAdded` events, as seen in debug logs like this: ``` ... PatchCanvas::joinGroup(30) PatchCanvas::joinGroup(30) - unable to find groups to join PatchCanvas::setGroupPos(30, 1118, 591, 0, 0) PatchCanvas::setGroupPos(30, 1118, 591, 0, 0) - unable to find group to reposition PatchCanvas::addGroup(30, b'Audio to CV', SPLIT_UNDEF, ICON_PLUGIN) ... ``` If this happens, the canvas box will be placed in the default position, rather than obeying the `PatchbayClientPositionChanged` signal. This PR keeps track of missed events and then applies them once the object is actually added.

I'm sure that there is a better way to do this, but some quick googling suggests that QT doesn't guarantee the order in which slots get called, so state will need to be aggregated somewhere. |

is this happening using pipewire or jack? |

Apologies for the slow response. I've only observed this using Jack. I've not tried with any other backends though, so I can't draw any conclusions from that. |
