## 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.

## Description
Issue 943 where trickplay images were misaligned with seek preview
mages. I made a post in issues but figured i'd go ahead and make the
pull request.
per gemini:
In SeekPreviewImage.kt, the code calculates which tile in the grid to
display based on the current timestamp:
val x = (tileIndex % trickPlayInfo.tileWidth) // x position within tile
grid
val y = (tileIndex / trickPlayInfo.tileHeight) // y position <-- BUG IS
HERE
To find the correct row (y) in a grid, you are supposed to divide the
current index by the width of the row (the number of columns), not the
height.
Why this breaks: Let's assume a standard trickplay grid that is 10
images wide (tileWidth = 10) and 5 images tall (tileHeight = 5).
If you are looking at the 12th image (tileIndex = 11), it should be on
Row 1 (the second row).
The code calculates y = 11 / 5 = 2. It skips to Row 2!
Because it divides by the smaller height value, the y coordinate
increases much faster than it should. This causes the preview to
visually "jump" down to future rows prematurely, and then snap back as
the x coordinate resets, causing the exact "flashing back and forth" you
saw with the credits and intros.

though.
### Remove series from next up
This first does the same as "Remove from continue watching" above. But
it also stores the series' ID in your display preferences as removed.
Wholphin will filter out this series from appearing in the Next Up row
until you watch _any_ episode in the series in the future.
This only works for Wholphin clients!
There's a dialog to view which series have been removed and to re-add
them manually. Settings->Customize Home->Settings->View removed next up

before building.

via manifest placeholders/merging and `BuildConfig` entries.

## Description
<!-- Describe the changes in detail -->
I've look at the app using Layout inspector to see if there are any
recompositions that shouldn't be happening while navigating normally in
the app. I've noticed two issues
1. Every BannerCard was being recomposed on every cursor move, which
added a lot of overhead to home screen navigation
2. Tab row in the Series View was being recomposed while navigating
across episodes in given season.

Instead of displaying the full playback overlay when pausing via a
button press, just show a short pause image in the center of the screen.
Any button press that will pause triggers this including a remote Pause,
Pause/Play, or one-click pause Enter.
I decided to make this the standard behavior instead of a toggle because
I think if the user intends to do something with the overlay (change
subtitles, audio, etc), it's still straightforward to open the overlay,
click the pause button (which is focused first), and then move to the
desired option versus assuming click-to-pause will open the overlay so
the user can move to the desired option.

Use localized date & time formatting such as using 24 hour clock or
Day-Month-Year date formatting. The localization is based on the
device's locale/language setting. Some pages require reloading if you
switch the locale while Wholphin is running.
Format bitrates using SI 1000 magnitudes instead of 1024. File size
still uses 1024 but formats with "MiB"/"GiB" suffixes now. This aligns
with the server web UI and is more in line with standard practices for
display as well.
Fixes the playback overlay layout being messed up by extremely long
episode names.
Finally, adds jumping by letter using keyboard letter keys on grids if
letter jumping is enabled. I doubt many users have a full keyboard
attached to their TV, but this saves me time using the emulator when I
need to repeatedly open the same item for testing.

This fixes some issues restoring the app state after it is killed by the
system, such as to free up memory while the screensaver is showing.
### Dev notes
Reproduce:
1. Start playing media from beginning
2. Pause at 10 minute mark
3. Wait for screensaver to start
4. Press a button
5. Media starts from beginning
Note: It may take a few iterations of 2-4 before the OS destroys the
app.
If the app is killed during playback, ideally Wholphin restores state to
_previous_ page, not playback since restoring playback is complex.
Before this PR, the back stack was maintained by Compose's
`rememberSerializable` and would be restored _after_ the
`PlaybackLifecycleObserver` cleans up the playback destination.
This meant that the app would be restored, from scratch, to the playback
page. The `PlaybackViewModel` would be initialized from scratch as it
was originally called, ie play from beginning.
The fix is to save and restore the back stack outside of Compose.
