Add support for external player playback (#1256)

Browse source 
## Description
Adds a new playback "backend" to play media in another app such as VLC.

By default, Wholphin will use the system default app. Typically if you
haven't chosen one, a dialog will show to pick which app. You can also
set a specific external app to use in Wholphin independent of the system
default.

Currently, this only support single item playback, ie playing next up
episodes is not supported yet.

Also since there is no standardized way to send resume position,
external subtitle info, etc, Wholphin makes a best effort. VLC,
mpv-android, & MX-Player are specifically tested/supported.

### Related issues
Closes #85

### Testing
Emulator & nvidia shield w/ VLC, mpv-android, & MX-player
