fix(Player): stop fabricating end-file on transient mpv event errors 
Commit 0b882f3 synthesized an Event::EndFile(Error) whenever
event_context.wait_event returned libmpv2::Error::Raw and forwarded it
to the web layer. MPV is fully able to continue playback after such
transient errors (its demuxer cache is intact), so fabricating an
end-of-file caused long-running HTTP streams (e.g. RealDebrid) to flip
to a blocking "Loading failed" overlay mid-playback. Revert that branch
to the prior log-and-continue behavior.

Also downgrade PlayerEnded errors from critical:true to critical:false
so genuine mpv_end_file_reason::Error surfaces as a 3s toast in
stremio-web (Player.js), letting the user retry, instead of an
unrecoverable full-screen overlay.

Stremio shell: new gen

A Windows-only shell using WebView2 and MPV

Goals:

  • Performance
  • Reliability
  • Easy to ship

In all three, this architecture excels the Qt-based shell: it is about 2-5x more efficient depending on the use case, as it allows MPV to render directly in the window through it's optimal video output rather than using libmpv to integrate with Qt.

This is due to Qt having a complex rendering pipeline involving ANGLE and multiple levels of composing and drawing to textures, which inhibits full HW acceleration.

Meanwhile in this setup MPV uses whichever pipeline it considers to be optimal (like the mpv desktop app), which is normally d3d11, allowing full HW acceleration.

For web rendering, we use the native WebView2, which is Chromium based but shipped as a part of Windows 10: therefore we do not need to ship our own "distribution" of Chromium.

Finally, this should be a lot more reliable as it uses a much simpler and more native overall architecture.
