## Description
Adds a card at the end of the rows on the home page and recommended tabs
to "View More" which goes to a grid of the items in the row.
The grid will endlessly scroll all of the available items except for a
few cases where the first 1000 are shown because the server does not
(yet) support pagination: genres, studios, people (added in v12), and
latest grouped tv shows.
Dev notes: This PR also rewrites the `RecommendedViewModel` and
consolidates the previous multiple view models into one.

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.

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.

### Remove from continue watching
This marks the item as unplayed so it will not be shown on the Continue
Watching row anymore. It may still show on a Next Up or combined row
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

to define the existing default and an app store variant. This is more
robust than maintaining a patch file and making sure it is applied
before building.

via manifest placeholders/merging and `BuildConfig` entries.

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.
