1.4.15 Released. Lyrics, composer tag, new repeat mode, playlist file search, new media control/now playing icons

Its only been 2 weeks since the last update but this update is definitely significant.  Many long requested features have finally been added.  The plan moving forward is one more update for some miscellaneous features and fixes and then I plan on doing the UI overhaul + tablet enhancements.  That update is going to take awhile, most like a few months but I plan on doing some bug fix releases during that period if issues happen to pop up.

Screenshots:

-Composer tag is now read and able to be shown on now playing (%cp%)
-Added a new repeat mode.  There is now repeat queue and repeat track/one

-Added 'Play Next' context menu option to the queue. This will move the selected track to underneath the currently playing track and will turn off shuffle.
-Added option to show/hide file stats in the file browser
-Added option to require a second press of the back button to exit gmmp. Prefs -> General -> Double Back To Exit

Updates / Improvements:

Fixes:

3.4.0

Plans for 3.4 changed a bit when google announced they will be hiding apps on newer versions of android if they dont target the newer sdks.  GMMP always tries to target one of the more recent versions of android, but the unlocker has no need for that since its essentially just a license key.  As of May 1st the unlocker will be hidden on newer versions of android to those who have not already purchased.  Because of this, the focus of 3.4 was to get in app purchases working to allow users to buy the full version after May 1st.  There is a new 'Purchase' section in the settings where the unlocker can now be purchased. One other change in 3.4 is the support for the Android 13+ media controls.  They changed around how to customize them, so that is reflected in a new 'Media Controls' section of the settings. The language can also be changed for just GMMP via the system settings The changelog itself is fairly small but I did a large update of all the libraries / dependencies t
