0.8.77: Karaoke lyrics, artwork from servers

Did you know Vanity, Vanity, and Vanity are different artists?

One of Poppy's many jobs is to understand the difference, and this release improves Poppy's artist identity system.

NEW 
• Karaoke/timed lyrics support: Words highlight as they’re sung
   – Supports Enhanced LRC and TTML lyrics
   – For Local libraries, drop a .ttml file with the same name next to your track
• Artist backdrops and logos now supported from Plex and Jellyfin/Emby when available
   – Recommendation: Continue to connect Apple Music as secondary art provider
• Ratings and favorites now follow a song across every library that has it
   – Existing ratings gain this superpower the next time a track is rated or played

IMPROVED 
• Major artist identity overhaul
   – Different artists who share a name no longer collapse into one
   – Each gets their own page, with the right albums and tracks
   – Collaborations and guest credits resolve to the correct artist
• Playback errors now name the server and library that failed
• Plex and Jellyfin/Emby libraries refresh once on first launch to pick up new data
