Robin Gareus 6f858b51d2 speed up track creation ...

For every added Trackview/Mixerstrip, Ardour looks up GUI properties which
results in a total of 13 calls for the initial default items per track:
("height", "visible", "layer-display", "strip-width")

Since the tracks don't yet exist, the properties don't either.
Every lookup result in iterating over all all XMLNotes and for every
"Object". ->property ("id") and ->value () allocates memory.

Adding 64 tracks to an empty session results in 528293 string
allocations and deallocations in XMLNode::property() taking ~30%
of the track creation time.

This commit XMLnode's const method to prevent memory allocation
and caches a pointer to the XMLNode* to skip iterating over object
state.
