Unnecessary transcode because of mp2 audio

[jellouser]

Describe the bug

1. Play LiveTV TS stream with mp2 audio
2. This results in Transcode (audio mp2 -> mp3, video copy) because of mp2 is not reported as supported audio codec.

The issue is fixed by "forcing" mp2 support in DeviceProfileBuilder

private val FORCED_AUDIO_CODECS = arrayOf(*PCM_CODECS, "alac", "aac", "ac3", "eac3", "dts", "mlp", "truehd", "mp2") <-- "mp2" added

Stream now plays DirectPlay (also requires DirectPlay fix https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-android/issues/1277). I am not sure if there should be player-specific override or something, to make this ExoPlayer (and other supported players) only.

The same thing happens in the web version, it does all the transcoding due to the mp2 format in the audio
