.aupreset to .fxp.

autovst.py

From: https://forum.juce.com/t/script-to-convert-aupreset-to-fxp/7919

I made a small Python script to convert .aupreset files to .fxp format (VST presets).
Hopefully others may find it useful too.

Our use case for it was creating our factory presets for SurferEQ once in Logic and then converting them to other formats.

This script could be easily adapted to convert the other way around. (it uses the Construct library to describe the fxb format declaratively for both parsing and building)
