Subject: [PATCH] Add Fire OS voice command permission for MediaSession (#2076)

## Description
Just a small change to AndroidManifest.xml so that Alexa voice commands
work in Wholphin.

"To enable voice command and control to work with your application, add
the permission com.amazon.permission.media.session.voicecommandcontrol
to your application manifest"
See
https://developer.amazon.com/docs/fire-tv/mediasession-api-integration.html

This is required only for Fire OS <14.

### Related issues
I couldn't find any related issues.

Steps to reproduce: Start some media -> Tell Alexa to pause/play
("Alexa, pause", "Alexa, play")
Expected behavior: Media pauses/resumes almost immediately.
Actual behavior: Pausing takes ~10 seconds, resuming doesn't work at all
Environment:
- FireTV Cube Gen 3 running Fire OS 7.7.1.7 (PS7717/5741)
- Wholphin 1.0.9-0-g2d87d526
- Jellyfin server 12.2

### Testing
See environment above.
After the change pause/play works immediately.

## Screenshots
N/A

## AI or LLM usage
I used Claude to analyze the issue and Claude Code to build a debug app
for testing.
