This commit brings significant improvements to the video cache feature.
Previously, the cache would merely download the video when requested, in
parallel with AVPlayer which also triggers a video download.
The video cache has been updated to tap into the AVPlayer loading
process, removing the download duplication.
Here is how that works:
1. The player requests an AVAsset from the cache.
2. The cache will return a cached asset if possible, or a special AVURLAsset with a custom `AVAssetResourceLoaderDelegate`.
3. The video player will start sending loading requests to this loader delegate.
4. Upon receiving the first request, the loader delegate begins to download the video data on the background.
5. Upon receiving these requests, the loader delegate will also record the requests, so that it can serve them once possible
6. The loader delegate keeps track of all video data chunks as it receives them from the download task, through the `URLSessionDataDelegate` and `URLSessionTaskDelegate` protocols
7. As it receives data, it checks all pending loading requests from the AVPlayer, and fulfills them as soon as possible
8. If the download fails (e.g. timeout errors, loss of connection), it attempts to restart the download.
9. If the download succeeds, it saves the video to the cache on disk.

This commit implements a simple but functional video cache.
It works by providing a method called `maybe_cached_url`, where a video
URL can be passed in, and this method will either return the URL of a
cached version of this video if available, or the original URL if not. It also
downloads new video URLs on the background into the cache folder for use
next time.

This patch redesigns the relay detail view. The first step needed to
further improve how relays are viewed. In addition, Fees are added to
the relay metadata to present to the user the admission, subscription,
or publication fees a relay may have.
There are various changes made, but mainly several relay details are
moved outside of the main RelayDetail view for easier tracking and
updates.
With this design we will be able to add ratings and relay previews, as
this patch is large enough I will submit that improvement in the future.

Subject: Moving away from email code submissions
Hey there,
Since there are more people joining these days and the idea of training
everyone on how to do email code review is effectively impossible in
2024, I've decided to move away from them. I have scripts that can
convert github pull requests to do offline review on my end, so I no
longer need people to directly email them to me.
You of course can, but if you prefer to use github PRs then that is now
perfectly fine. I still may not use GitHub's code review interface, but
that is just me.
I want to encourage more code review from people other than me, if noone
is set up to do that via email then I would rather not encourage it.
Cheers,
Will

The DamusAVPlayerView (along with other classes) play or pause based on
their Y position relative to the user's viewport. This is ideal for a
vertical feed of notes.
However, this does not work well on a horizontal carousel, such as when
viewing videos on the full-screen carousel and swiping left/right.
This commit adds a new tracking method based on onAppear/onDisappear
triggers from a lazy stack (which only loads when it is visible), and
applied it to videos shown on a full screen carousel, so that videos
pause when we swipe away from the video.
Incidentally, this also fixes an issue I was seeing where a full screen
video would disappear as soon as I rotated the phone to landscape mode.

The full screen carousel looks quite empty. When viewing videos, it
looks like the video is being played full screen, when it is really not.
Alas, SwiftUI/UIKit does not provide an API for programmatically
bringing a video player full screen. The closest we can do is show the
system native playback controls.
This can cause confusion to users, and is not the best UX. To get around
these limitations and improve UX, event information and content is added to the full
screen carousel overlay, so that:
- Users can see a piece of the post while they are browsing images and videos
- Users can more clearly tell when the video is being displayed on the full screen carousel or on full screen
- Users have a way to directly go to the thread view within the full screen carousel

This commit includes several UX changes to give users better control
over video playback. It also, by design, work arounds a SwiftUI quirk*
Here are the changes to the UX:
1. Videos on the feed only have a mute/unmute button
2. When the user clicks on the video, they are taken to a full screen carousel view (similar to when you click on an image)
3. The full-screen carousel view shows all video playback controls (through a specific SwiftUI hack)
4. If the carousel has multiple videos/images, the user can swipe between them normally as expected
Other UI changes that were made:
- The full screen carousel now uses dark mode (black background, white close button)
* The SwiftUI quirk is that when video views are placed within a TabView with ".page" tab view style, the tabview consumes most of the user gestures, making the video playback controls unusable.

Adds a tab view style to the Relay Config View allowing the user to switch between their connected relays

It was observed that sending the receipt to the server right after
performing the StoreKit purchase caused issues due to the receipt not
being completely ready when it got sent, causing rejections by the
server.
