Add bank and instrument IDs, and replace (almost) all of these as .ogg files.

This section is for unused audio files in instrument banks.

Unused Mario Jump Sound#

Unused Trapdoor Sound#

To do:
Add details and a fix for the rendering settings.

An unused sound for the trapdoor leading to Bowser in the Dark World. It can be heard in footage of the Shoshinkai 1995 build of the game. Technically used, but goes unheard due to the object having the wrong rendering settings.
