[music] add support for Cider music player #1931

Cider is a unofficial linux app for Apple Music, https://cider.sh/ It not leverage of MPRIS, but it provides REST/Websocket APIs.

I believe it would be more productive and beneficial to either

Have them implement the standard protocol.
Create a daemon which exposes Cider's API through MPRIS.

In both of these cases every one would benefit from it, not just i3status-rs users. The second option shouldn't be that hard to implement.

I just figured out that they use MPRIS. I will try to make it works with i3status-rust

It works natively, but the documented command to get the player name busctl --user list | grep "org.mpris.MediaPlayer2." | cut -d' ' -f1 is not working like that on Arch.

I used to invert something to get it work: busctl list --user | grep "org.mpris.MediaPlayer2." | cut -d' ' -f1, it gives me org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.cider2, so cider2 as player name make the block working perfectly.
