Use Subsonic's scrobbling instead #416

When using Subsonic (or compatible server), a scrobbler can be configured in personal preferences. This means that you can configure the scrobbler once and supported clients will use it. The client-side configuration is as simple as checking a box. The client starts playing a song and the Subsonic server takes care of sending the info to the scrobbler service. In Airsonic, ListenBrainz and Last.fm are currently supported. I found how the scrobbling architecture in Airsonic works here

I know that Strawberry already supports scrobbling but this would make configuration on multiple devices much simpler.

I would suggest adding a checkbox in Subsonic settings that would scrobble to Last.fm/ListenBrainz via Subsonic if scrobbling is not already enabled in Strawberry. This would have no effect if scrobbling in Strawberry is already enabled.

We can create an option to select which type of songs that should to be scrobbled, based on the song::source enum.
