Ray Slakinski 3626a30b52 iOS: the player goes to ipxapi.sdf1.net with one API token; unread badge (#419, #421)
The Access service token plus API token pair was three values to enter
and Access in front of both. The player, the badge and CarPlay now send
the ipx API token alone to https://ipxapi.sdf1.net: a route of the
rays-unraid tunnel to the same ipx-web, with no Access application, held
to the paths the app uses by a custom firewall rule on the sdf1.net zone
(403 for anything without a bearer header or off the list: the page, the
login form, /api/login, ?token= sign-in, the admin API). docs/sso.md
says so, since it also says not to bypass Access for /api/*; this is
that warning's narrow version, and the rule is on Cloudflare, not here.

The unread badge (#421) shows All Subscriptions' count, as the page's
badge does: set when the app comes forward, after an item is read, and
by a background refresh iOS runs now and then. The test target had no
Info.plist and could never have run; it does now.

Build 4. Not yet run on a phone with the token set.
