Utilise FOSS component NewPlayer for improved player UX

[Victor239]

Use Cases

For playing video or audio it's hard to beat the UX of NewPipe's player. Intuitive gesture controls, sensible UI elements, easy access to advanced options, different UIs for video + audio, picture-in-picture support, background playing, etc. I'd like to have a similar experience with Grayjay.

Proposal

NewPipe have made their player modular now and it's abstracted it as a separate component called NewPlayer. Since Grayjay and NewPipe have similar goals it makes sense to collaborate and utilise the same underlying player, so more development time can then be allotted to more important features.
