[Feat]: More ways to shuffle things #84

Description

Boum has a number of places to view lists of songs, albums, or playlists, but there isn't always a way to shuffle these lists. For example, there's not really a good way to shuffle all songs in a music library without adding every one of them to a playlist and shuffling the playlist.

Also, recently, Finamp introduced a neat feature called mixes, which allow you to add a few albums or playlists to a temporary list that you can then shuffle. I'm thinking something similar to this could be a nice addition to boum. Another idea is to add more options for creating "lists" on the Home screen. I would suggest expanding the genere option to be able to search for other things, like artist, playlist (get all the albums that are apart of a playlist), or maybe some other things. Maybe these lists could be expanded to allow you to shuffle them?

Understanding that boum is open-source software

I was also thinking a bit about your exact thoughts the other day, like how it would be great to improve the music recommendations with album collections, ~mixes,~ smart playlists etc., but concluded that this should really be done server-side by a plugin. Right now I'm very busy but once I'll have more time I'll test whether I manage to create a plugin - as I have no experience in C# - to decide how I'm going to implement these ideas.

EDIT: First off I'll be implementing InstantMix for albums and artist and the ability to shuffle all songs from an artists. #92 #80 #93

I would also like the ability to shuffle songs in a genre. S2 player does this.
