This commit enables proper Now Playing Info Center integration on iOS, allowing video playback information to appear in Control Center and Lock Screen with working remote controls.
Key changes:
- Activate audio session on app launch with setCategory(.playback, mode: .moviePlayback) and setActive(true)
- Set up remote commands on first play() call instead of during app initialization to avoid claiming Now Playing slot prematurely
- Remove removeTarget(nil) calls that were claiming Now Playing without content
- Enable remote commands (play, pause, toggle, seek) explicitly and add proper target handlers
- Use backend.isPlaying instead of PlayerModel.isPlaying to avoid race conditions
- Include playback rate (1.0 for playing, 0.0 for paused) in Now Playing info
- Update Now Playing info on main queue for thread safety
- Update Now Playing when switching between backends
- Remove audio session deactivation from pause() and stop() methods
Note: This fix works for AVPlayer backend. MPV backend has fundamental incompatibility with iOS Now Playing system.
Remove incorrect safe area insets from offsetY calculation that was
causing unequal black bars (smaller top, larger bottom). Now properly
centers video with equal padding like AVPlayer backend.
Refactored glUpdate to use requestRedraw method for better control. Added needsRedraw flag to prevent redundant display calls. Enabled asynchronous drawing on VideoLayer for improved performance. Modified displayLinkCallback to only report swap without triggering display to avoid flooding the main thread.

fixes#691
add `--initial-audio-sync=<yes|no>` to MPV settings. Might fix#690 but needs to be toggled by the user. We leave the standard settings.
Also added links to the icons on macOS.
New options for captions in `Settings-Player`:
- Always show captions
- Default language
User can now select whether they want to show captions automatically when the video starts, and select the language.
Captions selector now shows proper name -> `English (en)` instead of only `en`
`cache-pause-initial` status can now be selected by the user.
Also, on macOS and iOS, a link next to the option leads the user to the info on the mpv website.
HLS: try matching the set resolution. This works okay with AVPlayer. With MPV it is hit and miss, most of the time MPV targets the highest available bitrate, instead of the set bitrate.
AVPlayer now supports higher resolution up to 1080p60.
