[sdiy] MIDI parser

Umm, no that has nothing to do with how well a library can
parse/interpret a MIDI byte stream.  That's more of a platform
(hardware + low-level software and/or RTOS) issue.

I hope it doesn't turn out like that.  The comparison should mostly be
on the MIDI-specific features that are, or aren't, supported.
Platform-specific things like how long it takes to process a byte
should be taken with a grain of salt and always measured on the target
system under realistic conditions.  Code/data/stack size will depend
on the target processor, which specific toolchain (and settings) an
individual project uses, and so on, so again those figures are a bit
hand-wavey but should give some rough metric for comparison.
