Closes #1291

Most of the media library service init failures are caused by
incompatible media library database versions notably due to downgrading
from a future release.

Instead of crashing on launch until the app is deleted by the user
along with its app context and reinstalled, try to delete the database
once to recover.

Handling the metadata can be potentially blocking especially when reading imagery from (remote?) storage, so do not block the main thread for this.

Previously, remembered information from the last app session was not
restored but just the default values.

This lists the available profiles in white with the default font face
while the currently selected option is shown in orange and bold.

The previous implementation was using a mix of UIScrollView and
UIStackView as well as 18 buttons show a list of options.

This improves rendering speed, memory use and reduces LoC by 50%.

The previous logic was overly complex to implement a simple lookup and
never stored the enabled state to the settings, just the disabled state.

Querying for all available output devices and then deciding whether
that given route is pointing to an external device can take longer than
the watchdog daemon allows VLC to do a cold start.

Therefore, delay the iteration until the initialization of the
singleton is complete.

Use custom icon to represent the menu so that the stroke size is
coherent with the other icons.

Previously, the main thread was blocked for doing a brute-force search
of 23 possible file extensions

Add of an option allowing the user to hide the featuring artists that
do not have albums to display.

When selecting an artist, if there are no albums related to this artist,
the user will only see the tracks.

Users do not differentiate between the slider and the gesture offered
by the player interface. If the gesture is disabled, so should be the
visual control that is also manipulated with a gesture.

Additionally, this fixes the slider background of the opposite slider
to appear on animation if either the volume or the brightness gesture
is disabled.

This improves the check duration from 650ms to 180ms
