feat(android): Genres and Years browse axes in the Library — #2467
#367 shipped genre and year browsing on web only, which left the web
tab bar's own comment -- "mirrors Android's LibraryScreen" -- half
aspirational. Android now has both, straight after Albums, in the same
order the web bar uses.

Server-backed, and that is the one real decision here. Every other
Library tab reads Room, and building these indexes locally was the
obvious move: the cache is a full mirror and carries both genre and
releaseDate. It does not work. /api/library/sync hydrates through
GetTracksByIDs, which has no missing_since filter, and neither
SyncTrackWire nor CachedTrackEntity has a field for it -- so the cache
holds tracks whose files are gone and cannot tell you which, while the
browse index excludes them. A locally-derived index would quietly
disagree with the server's and with the web client, and could offer a
genre that exists only in missing files. Filed as #2704; until it is
resolved these two tabs need a connection, and their empty states say
what they are rather than looking broken.

Genre is a query parameter end to end, never a path segment: "Rock/Pop"
is a real ID3 tag and a slash does not survive a path. That is also why
the drill-down is a second state inside the tab instead of a nav
destination -- a route would have had to carry the label.

Index shapes mirror web because the reasoning was already worked out
there: genres default to count order, since raw tags carry a long tail
of one-offs that A-Z buries the real genres under, with an A-Z chip for
when you already know the name; years group by decade, newest first,
because a flat list of every year in a decades-deep library is a wall
of numbers. Page size matches web's BROWSE_PAGE_SIZE so "Load more (N
left)" steps identically on both.

The orderings and grouping are pure functions, tested: server order left
alone under count sort, case-insensitive A-Z, no mutation of the loaded
state's list, a slashed tag surviving the filter intact, decade
bucketing including the boundary year, and a count label that stays
blank rather than flashing "0 albums" while the first page loads.
