Subject: [PATCH] feat: add external player intent filter for HTTP/HTTPS URLs

Allow CloudStream to appear in Android's 'Open with' menu when
clicking video/audio/HLS URLs from other apps like Stremio or browsers.

- Add 3 intent-filters to DownloadedPlayerActivity for video/*,
  HLS (x-mpegURL, vnd.apple.mpegurl), and audio/* MIME types
  over http/https schemes
- Route http/https URIs through playLink() instead of playUri()
  so network streams are handled correctly instead of being
  treated as local content URIs
