feat(playback): cache on-demand HLS videos in SimpleCache

Previously any URL containing ".m3u8" was routed through the non-caching
MediaSource factory under the assumption that HLS meant a live stream.
That was correct for kind-30311 live events but wrong for on-demand
NIP-71 videos with multi-rendition fMP4 segments: their .m4s files are
immutable and a perfect fit for SimpleCache's byte-range caching, yet
they were being re-downloaded on every scroll.

Plumb an explicit `isLiveStream` flag from the caller (LiveActivity sets
it to true; everything else keeps the default of false) down through
GetMediaItem / MediaItemData and stash it in MediaItem.mediaMetadata
extras. CustomMediaSourceFactory now reads that flag to decide whether
to use the caching or non-caching factory, falling back to the old URL
heuristic only if the flag is absent (e.g. a MediaItem built outside
the MediaItemCache path).

Also persist the flag through PiP's IntentExtras bundle and use the new
constants in MediaSessionPool for the callback URI key.
