Ray Slakinski 2e031763fa Player: a sleep timer, and AirPlay in the app (#429)
The sleep timer pauses after 5 minutes to an hour, fading out over the
last ten seconds. In the iOS app the phone's player keeps the time:
with the screen locked the web view is frozen, and a timer in the page
would not fire until the app was opened again. A browser plays on in a
background tab, so there the page keeps it.

The app says at ready what it does itself ({t:"host", can}), so a page
deployed ahead of the app falls back to its own timer and shows no
AirPlay button an older app would ignore. This deploy order problem
came up with #425.

AirPlay opens AVRoutePickerView by pressing its button from code; there
is no API to present it. On iOS 27 the picker opens on the button's
primary action, not touch-up, so that is what is sent, with touch-up
for versions that have nothing on it. The simulator has no AirPlay
devices and never showed the picker, so this is unverified until it
runs on a phone.

On a phone the player's one line left the title two letters wide once
the two controls were added, so the title takes the top line and the
controls flank play below it.

# Changelog
The iOS app, `ios/`. Format: [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.1.0/).
## [Unreleased]
### Added
- iPX on the iPhone: the page in an app, playing through the phone's own player, so an episode plays on with the screen locked and the lock screen, Control Center and a car's buttons drive it (#418).
- Player token (shake, then Player Token): an ipx API token, kept in the keychain, which the player, the badge and CarPlay send to `https://ipxapi.sdf1.net` instead of using the page's sign-in cookie, so playback does not stop when that cookie expires (#419).
- The icon shows All Subscriptions' unread count, as the page's badge does: set when the app comes forward, after an item is marked read, and by a refresh iOS runs now and then while the app is closed, so it can be hours behind (#421).
- Episodes kept on the phone, with the page's Keep button, play with no connection: the app fetches the file in the background, even with the app closed, and plays it from the phone; where you got to and what you finished offline is sent once the connection is back. Signing out removes them (#425).
- A sleep timer in the player, kept by the phone, so it pauses on time with the screen locked, fading out over the last ten seconds; and an AirPlay button beside it, for another speaker or a TV (#429).
