add a tone test mode that bypasses the soundcard

Add -tone-test to transmit a generated 440 Hz Opus tone and save
incoming audio to the file named by -tone-out.
Diagnosing an audio problem previously required a working capture and
playback device, which is exactly what is in question. This mode opens
no OpenAL device at all, so the network and codec path can be tested
on a machine with no sound hardware.

Open the capture file before starting the generator.
Starting transmission first left a tone goroutine running with nowhere
to write when the path was unusable.

Refuse file playback while in tone test mode, and ignore the
microphone volume keys.
Both operate on a stream that does not exist here.

Stop the generator and detach the file saver on disconnect.
A reconnect otherwise attached a second saver to the same file.

Add -auto-transmit to key the microphone as soon as the connection is
up.
Useful for a bot or a monitoring client that should never need a
keypress. It runs from both the connect event and the point where the
audio stream is created, because the server's welcome arrives before
the stream exists.
