fix(player): route notification next/prev to Sonos while casting — #171 (#111)

Device verification of v2026.07.15 found the notification/lock-screen
next+prev buttons dead during a UPnP cast (play/pause worked). Root cause:
the system media controls issue COMMAND_SEEK_TO_NEXT / COMMAND_SEEK_TO_PREVIOUS
-> Player.seekToNext()/seekToPrevious(), which are DISTINCT from the
seekToNextMediaItem()/seekToPreviousMediaItem() the in-app buttons call and
which MinstrelForwardingPlayer already routes to Sonos. seekToNext/Previous
were un-overridden, so ForwardingPlayer forwarded them to the paused local
delegate — nudging its cursor, which the identity poll then re-synced back to
Sonos, so the buttons read as dead.

Override seekToNext()/seekToPrevious() to delegate to the media-item variants
(the full Sonos path: optimistic local advance + AVTransport Next/Previous +
pending-transport gate) when a UPnP route is engaged; plain local playback
keeps the default behaviour. Fixes notification/lock-screen/Auto/Wear skip
during a cast. Completes milestone #171 Step 3 (#1606 / #606).
