* feat: make NowPlaying dispatch asynchronous with worker pool Implemented asynchronous NowPlaying dispatch using a queue worker pattern similar to cacheWarmer. Instead of dispatching NowPlaying updates synchronously during the HTTP request, they are now queued and processed by background workers at controlled intervals. Key changes: - Added nowPlayingEntry struct to represent queued entries - Added npQueue map (keyed by playerId), npMu mutex, and npSignal channel to playTracker - Implemented enqueueNowPlaying() to add entries to the queue - Implemented nowPlayingWorker() that polls every 100ms, drains queue, and processes entries - Changed NowPlaying() to queue dispatch instead of calling synchronously - Renamed dispatchNowPlaying() to dispatchNowPlayingAsync() and updated it to use background context Benefits: - HTTP handlers return immediately without waiting for scrobbler responses - Deduplication by key: rapid calls (seeking) only dispatch latest state - Fire-and-forget: one-shot attempts with logged failures - Backpressure-free: worker processes at its own pace - Tests updated to use Eventually() assertions for async dispatch Signed-off-by: Deluan <deluan@navidrome.org> * fix(play_tracker): increase timeout duration for signal handling Signed-off-by: Deluan <deluan@navidrome.org> * refactor(play_tracker): simplify queue processing by directly assigning entries Signed-off-by: Deluan <deluan@navidrome.org> --------- Signed-off-by: Deluan <deluan@navidrome.org>
