Add support for Cast functonality over microG (e.g. using Vanced microG) for Androids without Google Play Services.

Hello, @Hark02. This could be extremely interesting for the FDroid release of LBRY. I don't know what microG is; could you explain it here, please?

Microg is free-as-in-freedom re-implementation of Google’s proprietary Android user space apps and libraries. http://microg.org/

In this case we are interested in OSS implementation of Google Cast. Vanced project already has a slimed down version of microg GMSCore implementation focused on Cast API.
