This PR resolves some of the problems mentioned in https://github.com/SimpleMobileTools/Simple-Music-Player/issues/604

Major changes:

Only set mediaId on media items on the controller side and inflate as needed in the service
Update media3 to 1.2.0-alpha02 (includes some fixes)
Ensure we are loading media in a separate background thread instead of on the player thread.
Implement lazy seek to next/previous media item behavior to avoid doing too much work on large playlists.
Improve tracks recycler view when there are large items in the list

Tested playing ~4-5k items on a queue on a device with average specs and it worked pretty well. Large playlists kept getting slower and slower, 10k items are still not usable on below-average devices.

should be good, will do more testing in the real app. Thanks
