Find Clipping: needs decision on optimal behaviour with regard to when/where created, linking, and label retention if re-run in same track

* AP: Create a Label track and call it Clipping, now add chirp track and Find Clipping. All the labels will be added at the above label track even when linking is on. Shouldn't we create a new track named Clipping at the bottom in this case? * GA: +1. Rather than add multiple behaviour options maybe we should decide "best behaviour". IMO this is that Find Clipping opens a new "Find Clipping" track if there isn't one already that has been created by that action; extra clipping (or normal) labels can be added to it, but it's disregarded as a linked track. * JC: I prefer that 'clipping detected' labels do participate in linking. However if any analysis effects clear out labels before adding new ones then they should always do so without affecting audio.... * GA: But that exposes the contradiction that removing labels in a normal label track *would* delete the audio. Plus if the clip track is created underneath a linked group, it won't behave as a linked label track anyway. So I came to the conclusion the least confusing solution is that clip track behaves independently of groups.
