Provide alternative automation parameters that are easier to use

Many automation parameters in Playtime work in clever ways and are very universally usable. They support faders/knobs/encoders and MIDI feedback. But most of this is only possible when using an advanced MIDI learn plugin like ReaLearn. If you use REAPER's built-in MIDI learn with simple buttons and don't need all the advanced stuff, it can get unnecessarily complicated to use those automation parameters.

The idea here is to provide alternative automation parameters that don't support MIDI feedback and faders/knobs/encoders but are super easy to use with built-in MIDI learn. Here's a list of already existing automation parameters that would benefit from a second variant:

Record selected slot => Record selected slot (simple)
Tempo detection mode => Tempo detection mode (simple)
Trigger selected cell => Trigger selected cell (simple)
Record selected slot, go right => Record selected slot, go right (simple)
Record selected slot, go down => Record selected slot, go down (simple)
Selected slot => Go to previous slot & Go to next slot
Selected cell horizontally => Got to left cell & Go to right cell
Selected cell vertically => Go to cell above & Go to cell below
Selected slot section start position => Decrease section start position of selected slot & Increase section start position of selected slot
Selected slot section length => Decrease section length of selected slot & Increase section length of selected slot
