Chromecast support #152

This enhancement is related/dependent on issue #20

Streaming hasn't been implemented yet, but as mentioned in #20 there are some workarounds using additional apps to stream music played by Clementine on the desktop to the phone. As mentioned, this workarounds only works for streaming to the phone itself. I'd like to go a step forward and stream to my Chromecast. Nowadays, having the option to stream to either the TV or speakers (with either version of a Chromecast device) is extremely useful.

There are many Android apps that stream from the phone itself to the Chromecast, what I'm suggesting is using this app as the remote/bridge between my computer (where all my music resides) and the Chromecast, so there's no need to download music from my desktop to my phone to stream it to the Chromecast. The only app that has this functionality is Plex (server and Android apps), but given that its focus is movies and tv, the music side is lacking a lot.
