feat(player): give the transport a context, and thumb-sized controls

Measured at the reference device's 424x439, every button here was
33x21px -- in the bottom bar and on the full-screen view alike. #56
reports them as "the most important thing in the mobile app and they
are tiny", and that is the number behind it.

The context is a **property, not a media query**, and that is the whole
design. Everywhere else in this app a component states what it drops at
phone width itself, because a media query inside a shadow root is
answered by the viewport and that is the honest signal. Here the two
hosts want different answers at the *same* viewport: on a phone the bar
wants three controls sized for a thumb and now-playing-view wants five,
larger still. So the host says which context and the viewport says
which size band, and neither alone can express it.

Play/pause alone goes above the 44px floor. A row of five identical
squares says every action is equally likely, which is not true of play
-- "large play/pause, adequate prev/next" is the Direction, and a spec
caught that the first version had sized all three the same.

Two things that fail silently:

The desktop bar must not move, and a `<button>` does not inherit its
font from its parent -- the UA stylesheet gives it one. So a generic
`font-size: inherit` is not the no-op it reads as: it took every
desktop control from 33x21 to 36x24. The box rules take a zero fallback
and the font-size rules are scoped to the two contexts that set one.

And the art on now-playing-view overflowed its own box, drawing over
the header above and the title below, because `aspect-ratio: 1` with a
definite width derives a height that nothing bounds -- 60vh bounds the
viewport, not the room left over. `max-height: 100%`. Pre-existing;
found by reading a screenshot, which is the only tier that can see it.

What is left is #172: with the transport at 172px of a 439px screen the
art is a 39px sliver.

Closes #56

/* ---------------------------------------------------------------
Sizes (#56).
44px is the floor everything here is sized to, and play/pause
alone goes above it -- "large play/pause, adequate prev/next" is
the Direction, and it is the one control the report calls "front
and centre".
They are stated as custom properties rather than on each button
so a context sets two numbers instead of five rules, and so the
icon scales with its target: a 44px box around a 16px glyph is a
big hit area that still looks tiny, which is half of what the
report is about.
**The desktop bar sets none of them and must not change at all.**
#56 is an Android issue; the desktop's buttons are 33x21 before
this and are 33x21 after it.
That is why the box rules take a zero fallback and the *font-size*
rules are scoped to the two contexts instead of sharing them. A
button does not inherit its font from its parent -- the UA
stylesheet gives it one -- so a generic font-size: inherit is
not the no-op it reads as: it moved the desktop's buttons from
33x21 to 36x24, silently, by taking them from the UA's 13.3px to
the shell's 16px. Measured before and after by stashing this
file, which is the only way that particular 3px shows up.
