feat(core,app,android,ios): play the dialogue, not the signs and songs

Anime releases often carry two subtitle tracks in one language, the
dialogue and a "Signs & Songs" track, and the second is as often as not
the one marked default or forced. mpv, picking by language, played it.

pstr_core::subtitles reads a track's name and forced flag for whether it
is the dialogue, and every client asks it once per file, after mpv has
made its own pick, whether to switch to a track in the same language
that is. A subtitle track the viewer chose by name stays, and subtitles
that are off stay off.

//! Which of a file's subtitle tracks is the one to read.
//!
//! Anime releases often carry two subtitle tracks in one language: the
//! dialogue, and a "Signs & Songs" track that only translates the on-screen
//! text and the lyrics. The second is the one marked default or forced as
//! often as not, and mpv, picking by language, plays it — an episode where
//! nobody seems to speak. A language cannot tell the two apart; the track's
//! name and its forced flag can.
//!
//! Nothing here talks to a player. Every client reads the track list out of
//! mpv once a file is loaded and asks [`full_instead`] whether to switch.
