Description

The button will support left-click for mute/unmute & right-click for solo/unsolo. It will remove the need for a dedicated solo button. It will be used in tracks and effects chains.

I propose it becuase it would simplify code, simplify muting/soloing, remove usless ("Reset", "Copy/Paste value") and rarely used ("Connect to controller") actions, save screen space, and be much more responsive.

Also, it would be good for #4949.

Research direction

Start by locating the existing mute, solo, and context-menu controls for tracks and effects chains, then compare how their click interactions are handled. Done means one control supports left-click mute/unmute and right-click solo/unsolo in both locations, while the specified redundant actions are removed.
