Fixed lag when browsing remote folders over SMB.
iOS: Fixed "no album art image" picker failing to read files outside foobar2000 folder.

Added search to the new settings page.
Restored old edge rendering behavior on Android 15.
Fixed seeking in tracks played over HTTP not working correctly in certain scenarios.

Cleaned up various inconsistent behaviors of filesystem API, correct read-ahead option is once again used for SMB.

Internal changes to generate more useful crash reports (C++ noexcept).

Made SMB locations treated as local not remote, giving similar tag / cover / etc preload semantics as with local files.
Use natural sort (1<2<10 rather than 1<10<2) in various library views.
Fixed a bug that made exotic FLAC configurations unplayable if muxed into Ogg/Matroska/MP4.

Fixed ID3 tags in AAC radio stream causing playback to stop.
Fixed various bugs affecting remote folder picture loading.
Fixed "wrong URL format" error trying to list SMB server root folder without slash after hostname.
