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.

1. Fixes when moving from nav drawer to home page content, focus would
sometimes move up a row
2. Fixes when moving up/down between rows, focus would sometimes move to
the later card (usually the last visible)
The second above is fixed by downgrading `tv-material` to
`1.0.1-alpha01`. Switching to
[`1.0.1-beta01`](https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/tv#tv-material-1.1.0-beta01)
or newer causes the bug. Not clear if its a bug in the library or
Wholphin though.

## Description
Directly use "Wholphin" when searching for older APKs to clean up.
On debug builds, the `app_name` string is "Wholphin (Debug)" but the APK
file names is always "Wholphin.apk", so I think the debug build won't
clean them up.

Show the public users (ie "Hide this user from login screens" is

explicitly added by username or quick connect.
This PR also refactors the server & user pages to use modern state flows

## Description
Instead of adding/removing the `SubtitleView` from composition
sometimes, instead toggle its visibility. This is technically slightly
more efficient. There's also a couple other minor tweaks that make the
subtitles style a little more efficient.
This should also help prevent crash caused by possible a race condition
in libass-android
(https://github.com/peerless2012/libass-android/issues/75).

## Description
This PR simply enables the `largeHeap` flag to request more memory from
the OS.
I am a bit embarrassed that I haven't added this before now, but I had
read that using `largeHeap` was a bandaid, not a solution. So I assumed
Wholphin was doing something incorrect memory-wise. But after crawling
through many, many heap dumps to analyze Wholphin's memory usage, and
after further research, enabling this does make sense for handling high
bitrate, high resolution videos. Furthermore, many other Jellyfin
clients and other video apps like Plex and Prime Video have this
enabled.
So since I am pretty confident that Wholphin doesn't have any memory
leaks, I feel good about enabling this.
### Related issues
I believe this will fix many of the bug reports about crashes during 4K
playback, but it's not a cure-all since it is up the device & OS to
allocate the max memory.

## Description
Preload ~6 rows worth of images on library grid pages. So depending on
device CPU & memory, most cards do not show a placeholder image when
scrolling unless you press and hold up/down to scroll as fast as
possible.
There's a couple other minor optimizations on the grid code as well, but
nothing huge.
### Dev notes
This PR makes the `cacheWindow` for pre-rendering cards applicable to
their images. Previously, images would not be fetched until the card is
laid out within the window. This was to get the width/height to pass to
the server request. This PR instead calculates the card widths when the
grid itself is laid out and then passes this width into the cards'
composables.
