This update has many fixes and small enhancements following 3.0 feedback!

Changelog

- made item selection background in list and grids more visible in dark and black themes (screenshot)

- shows more metadata in album headers in Playlist tab 'Album View' mode (screenshot)

- added 'Setttings > Library > Show composer in album lists'

- in Library grid views, use up to 2 lines for item titles

- in Library grid views with separator cells (for example: year), fixed sizing issue causing missing text for some cells

- added 'Settings > Control > Remove from Recent Apps' to control the behavior of removing BubbleUPnP from the Recent Apps list.
Choice are 'Always exit app', 'Never Exit app' and 'Exit app only if idle'. The last choice is the default with BubbleUPnP exiting only if it is not actively working (controlling a renderer, serving content, downloads, ...)

- fixed going back to a parent folder in Library sometimes not restoring previous list position correctly (thanks Whinette!)

- fixed 'Settings > Library > Play displays now playing' sometimes causing album art to not display after a playback action triggered in the Library tab

- fixed too small pre-buferring of local playback of Internet radio streams, possibly causing audio dropouts in spotty network conditions

- fixed swiping side drawer soon after app startup showing delayed toolbar

- fixed notification exit button (X) not exiting BubbleUPnP if its last screen (whether visible or not) was some Settings screen or the image viewer. This also prevented 'Kill on inactivity' to work if at the time it kicks in BubbleUPnP was on such screen

- On Oreo 8.0, fixed dark notification ('Settings > Look and feel > Dark notification') unreadable text when 'Settings > Control > Exit (X) button' is enabled

- made current active device more visible in device selection bottom sheets

- in Now Playing, use up to 2 lines to display combined "artist | composer"

- in Now Playing, show a Snackbar message to mention that Stop can be performed by long-pressing the Pause button

- Show optional confirmation dialog when exiting app (X icon in side drawer). Can be changed in Settings > Control > Confirm app exit

- updated Amazon Fling SDK to latest version (1.3.5)

- fixed crash in Library when switching to grid view while scrolling

- fixed several other rare and super obscure(tm) crashes
