Version rolled back from v4.x to v3.7.0. After extensive work on v4's
internal streaming engine, smart queue, DASH pipeline, and media controls,
we realized v3 was already feature-complete. Adding more big features
only made maintenance increasingly difficult and the developer's life
miserable. Stripped back to what works: external player only, cleaner
codebase, sustainable long-term.
- Remove just_audio, audio_service, audio_session and entire internal
playback engine (smart queue, notification, shuffle/repeat, prefetch)

FlutterFragmentActivity

path to Go and let Go re-open it to avoid fdsan double-close race conditions

of taking raw FD ownership

- Validate Ogg page header fields (version, headerType, segment table) to avoid
false positives from payload bytes during backward scan

13 locales and ARB files

Add dynamic GPU detection to use Skia renderer instead of Impeller on:

- Problematic chipsets (MSM8974, MT6762, etc.)
- Legacy GPUs (Adreno 300/400, Mali-400/T6, PowerVR SGX, etc.)
- Android versions < 8.0 (API 26)
This fixes SIGSEGV crashes in libsc-a3xx.so GPU shader compiler
on older Qualcomm Adreno devices when Impeller attempts to
compile Vulkan/OpenGL shaders.
Uses FlutterShellArgs --enable-impeller=false which is the only
reliable method since AndroidManifest meta-data is broken in
