- Add option to continue watching and next up rows to combine them
- Add option for sorting playlist or collections
- Show suggestions (recently updated) when searching for a playlist or
collection to add

Adds an option to display libraries in a list layout
The list can be regular showing 6-7 items or compact showing ~11 items.
Can also toggle showing the details on the left side. Movies, tv shows,

videos, etc use a generic one similar to movies.
Another change is that showing the backdrop is now a separate toggle
from showing details for both grid & list layouts.
Sorting, filtering, & jumping to a letter all work as expected!

There was an issue if when opening a page with theme music and quickly
changing pages, usually playback, the theme music might play on the new
page. This is because the call to stop the theme music could potentially
happen _before_ the song was loaded or had started playing.
This PR fixes this race condition by tracking the job that's fetching
the theme song and by adding a mutex to ensure the play function
completes before the stop function can begin.

This should fix the issue where suggestions would sometimes get stuck

Adds a "Show voice search button" toggle to the search page's view

When disabled, the voice search button is hidden from the search row,
taking it out of the D-pad focus path.
The new field `show_voice_search_button` is added to `SearchPreferences`
(default `true`). The serializer applies the default for new installs,
and a new entry in `AppUpgradeHandler` sets it to `true` for users
upgrading from earlier versions so existing behaviour is preserved.
### Related issues
Discussion: https://github.com/damontecres/Wholphin/discussions/1419
### Testing
Tested on an Android TV (1080p) AVD running API 34:
- Toggle on (default): voice search button visible at the top of the
search row.
- Toggle off: button disappears; only the search text field remains.
- Toggle back on: button reappears.
- Upgrade handler verified by spoofing `version.current.name` to an
older value in SharedPreferences and force-restarting the app; after
`needUpgrade()` fired, the toggle was on as expected.
The upgrade-handler entry currently uses `0.6.4-8-g0` (based on current
`main` HEAD); happy to bump this if you'd prefer a different target
version on merge.

Fixes#1396.
The else branch of `when (nextState)` in PlaybackController added a 32dp
Spacer that left empty space below the controls when there were no
chapters or queue.
Possible follow-up: Pentaphon's idea of a "similar items" row in that
empty slot. Happy to put up a separate PR if useful.
## Testing
Verified on an Android TV (1080p) AVD running API 34 by playing a movie
with no chapters and no next-up item. With the fix, the bottom of the
control overlay sits the expected 8dp from the screen edge (the existing
parent padding). Also rebuilt without the fix and compared back-to-back
to confirm the Spacer was the cause.
The CHAPTERS and QUEUE branches were not modified.

Code auditing and PR description drafting with Claude Code. Also used
Claude Code for the regex.
Fixed a bug with libass integration where the background thread
responsible for drawing the ASS subtitles (AssRenderThread) has been
shut down, but ExoPlayer is still actively running and trying to push
video time updates to it. Added fallback for software rendering on older
android versions that can have broken OpenGl implementation.This should
address much of issue #1049.
## Description
Essentially, debug logs showed repeated:
3145 3920 W MessageQueue: Handler (android.os.Handler) {4ba3c72} sending
message to a Handler on a dead thread
3145 3920 W MessageQueue: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Handler
(android.os.Handler) {4ba3c72} sending message to a Handler on a dead
thread
Essentially this was a lifecycle bug where the libass-android thread was
created, but was detaching from the window, shutting down when it does
so. It was still registered to ExoPlayer, but since there was no thread
to send to, it just repeatedly kept failing, never spinning back up to
display any subtitles. It seems just about any ui change can cause this
detachment, but in this case it seems it was right from the moment the
loading spinner shows up (making libass-android fail before video starts
playing).
Fixed by ensuring TextureView's visibility wasn't changed to invisible,
which ends up destroying the canvas that libass-android attaches itself
to. Hid the canvas using graphicsLayer (so the user can't see it, but
it's still alive and active). Also changed resizing logic to prevent
Android from seeing a 0x0 TextureView as "destroyed".
Since I discovered in testing how terribly my TV's OpenGl was handling
this, I added an additional fallback for Android versions < 9. Older
TV's can fallback to software rendering when using libass-android.
### Related issues
#### Issue #1049 :
**Fixes:**
- the issue where libass-android (when enabled) fails to load any
subtitles in ExoPlayer DirectPlay.
**Not Fixed from issue #1049 :**
- Issues around accented characters.
- Any issues surrounding MPV (I have no way of testing, MPV never worked
on any player for me)
- Fallback mode (libass-android disabled) where subtitles aren't
rendering properly
**Added:**
- While testing, discovered older Android versions have trouble with
reliable OpenGl rendering. Thus I added a fallback for older Android
versions to use libass-android in software rendering mode
(AssRenderType.OVERLAY_CANVAS)
### Testing
- Tested and confirmed flawlessly to work on Android 9 TCL Smart TV
(AssRenderType.OVERLAY_CANVAS)
- Tested on Android 14 Chromecast (AssRenderType.OVERLAY_OPEN_GL).
Slightly less perfect (font not always a match, less fancy shadows) but
most ASS/SSA effects work well. May be worth testing other AssRenderType
options to compare features and performance on other machines.
