Currently the end point of a BeatLoop is either the end of the track or a point n beats forward (depending which comes first).

I think Mixxx should be able to continue playing after the end of the track (playing silence), this way loops would not be truncated at the end of a track.

This is useful because sometimes loop tracks are not long enough and have the last beat truncated.

We can introduce an option to stop the deck at the end of a track to keep the current behavior. This is the approach Traktor takes.

#1187 modified the loop_double Control so it will not increase the size of a loop if the new loop would go beyond the end of the track. Instead of truncating the new loop at the end of the track, it just won't resize the old loop.
