Add seek buttons to notification bar

Robert Stone requested to merge rhstone/vlc-android:add-seek-buttons-to-notif-bar into master

Description

This MR introduces support for seek buttons in the notification bar. The icon appearance is driven by the enabled actions in the playback session. Inactive icons are now shown as shaded, which helps users understand when their button presses will be accepted or ignored. Podcast mode (shown below) incorporates the seek buttons in the compact view, otherwise prev/next will be shown.

Motivation and Context

This change is a continuation of adding support for seek buttons throughout the various playback control interfaces.

How Has This Been Tested?

Tested on a Pixel 3 running Android 11.
