New scalable header bar design which should scale nicely with height
and width changes by collapsing several elements (putting them into
popups and overflow menus). The height scaling of the header is
similar to Elisa, where it will use the regular background color when
fully collapsed.
Titles are clickable and will open the relevant pages. Images are also
clickable and that will open a fullscreen view.
This new design also exposes volume controls both for desktop and mobile
layout.

This implements support for streaming episodes rather than downloading them
first.
This introduces a new setting: prioritizeStreaming. If it's set to false
(default) then a streaming play button is only added to the EntryPage. If
it is set to true, then the streaming play button will also appear on the
Entry delegates instead of the download button.
There is a separate setting to decide if streaming is also allowed on
metered connections.

This implements the gpodder API from scratch. It turned out that
libmygpo-qt has several critical bugs, and there's no response to pull
requests upstream. So using that library was not an option.
The implementation into kasts consists of the following:
- Can sync with gpodder.net or with a nextcloud server that has the
nextcloud-gpodder app installed. (This app is mostly API compatible
with gpodder.)
- Passwords are stored using qtkeychain. If the keychain is
unavailable it will fallback to file.
- It syncs podcast subscriptions and episode play positions, including
marking episodes as played. Episodes that have a non-zero play
position will be added to the queue automatically.
- It will check for a metered connection before syncing. This is
coupled to the allowMeteredFeedUpdates setting.
- Full synchronization can be performed either manually (from the
settings page) or through automatic triggers: on startup and/or on
feed refresh.
- There is an additional possibility to trigger quick upload-only syncs
to make sure that the local changes are immediately uploaded to the
server (if the connection allows). This will trigger when
subscriptions are added or removed, when the pause/play button is
toggled or an episode is marked as played.
- This implements a few safeguards to avoid having multiple feed URLS
pointing to the same underlying feed (e.g. http vs https). This
solves part of #17
Solves #13
This commit adds keyboard navigation to entry lists.
Selection of items can be done through keyboard (shift+up/down), mouse
(left, left+shift, left+ctrl) or touch (long press).
When items are selected, contextual actions will show up on
the page (useful for touch screens), or, alternatively, a context menu
with the same actions can be opened through right mouse click (useful
for desktop).
If a single entry is selected, then only the relevant actions will be
shown (e.g. only "Mark as Played" if the entry has not been played yet).
Additionally, (database) transactions for the actions have been
optimized. This was necessary to make sure that actions on large
selections of entries finish within an acceptable time. E.g. actions on
a list of 1000 items should finish within a few seconds (on all but
underpowered hardware).
BUG: 441764
The "New Episodes" tab is to be replaced by a filter view button and
dialog to be able to filter several episode statuses. I.e. new,
played / not played, etc.
For now this only works with NetworkManager. The related settings are
greyed out on systems not using NetworkManager.
Some details of the implementation:
- Implement settings in the settings menu to enable/disable feed
updates, episode downloads and/ or image downloads on metered
connections. If the option(s) is disabled, an overlay dialog is shown
with options to "not allow", "allow once", or "allow always".
- If the network is down, no attempt is made to download images and the
fallback image will be used until the network is up again.
This also solves an issue where the application hangs when the network
is down and feed images have not been cached yet.
- Next to this, part of the cachedImage implementation in Entry and Feed
has been refactored to re-use code as part of the image() method in
Fetcher.
- In case something unexpected happens, an error will be logged.
