Repro steps:

  1. Launch clap-host with no plugin
  2. Windows -> Recreate Plugin Window
  3. Crash

Reason for the crash:

PluginHost::setParentWindow doesn't guard against _plugin being nullptr

Proposed fix:

Have a local patch for this which I'll pull request and reference this issue

Guard against null _plugin within PluginHost::setParentWindow
Follow error convention in source code

Tested arch: arm64
Confirm no longer crash

Per @Trinitou suggestions, a plugin specific menu item should only be enabled (available to execute by user)

This fixes the underlying cause of the crashes reported in free-audio#40 and free-audio#42

Therefore this also reverts the now obsolete change in previous merged pull request free-audio#43

Upon load change we update the menu items

Tab indentation set to 3 to be consistent with existing code

Note: Follows the QT memory ownership model, and the QAction pointers lifetime is handled by their parents

Testing:
Launch with no plugin loaded, see menu items are greyed out (disabled), user cannot select these items (as intended) therefore code is not executed and app doesn't crash

Launch with plugin loaded, see menu items are available and executed when user clicks, and confirm still no crashes
