Android Auto UI fixes

Robert Stone requested to merge rhstone/vlc-android:update-category-label into master

Description

After a recent Android Auto update, the library (shown below) is no longer an easy to navigate single page and now requires scrolling. This change swaps the list style for the category style, which shrinks the individual item height and restores the single-page layout. See Build media apps for cars: Set default content styles for more details.

Motivation and Context

Prior to this update the list and category styles were identical height-wise. The only discernible difference is that the category view shrank the icon by using larger padding around the image. It was unclear why a smaller icon would be desirable, so the category style was not used at the time.

How Has This Been Tested?

Tested under Android Auto 7.4.620914-release on a Pixel 3 running Android 11
