This commit adds a new trait, Mixer, and refactors some of the code around generic mixers in order to support it. This is to make more of the code reusable without rewriting - specifically, to support a feature that I would like to implement in bevy_audio where audio sources can send audio to an intermediate mixer. The motivation for this was to add a global limiter to all game audio, so that loud sounds did not cause clipping on the master bus, but another possible usecase would be to split in-game audio and menu audio into separate "worlds" and apply, for example, a low-pass filter while in the pause screen.

It looks like the test failures are due to unrelated code, and are because of the addition of redundant import checks to unused_imports.

This commit adds a new component, `AudioTarget`. This component allows marking sources to
be played via a specific `OutputStreamHandle` instead of the global one. At time of
writing, changing the audio target will result in restarting the source, as `rodio`
provides no way to get the inner source queue for a `Sink`. This is already the case for
the current version of Bevy when a component's `AudioSink` is removed, however, so I
think that this behavior is acceptable for now.

This allows users to specifically target certain audio devices, and when [rodio#547](RustAudio/rodio#547)
lands it will allow users to use intermediate mixers - e.g. to add global or per-item-set
effects such as reverb.

A more-minimal version of this PR would just make OutputStream generic, which would still allow reusing rodio's mixer without adding an actual interface around creating your own.

The test failures should be gone on the main branch now because of #554.

Could you rebase this on main? (or merge main into it). Then you'll get the fixed (thanks @hamirmahal) test suite.
