fix(player): stop the seek bar resizing as its clocks count

Two different things moved it and they need different answers. Digits
in a proportional font are different widths, so 1:11 is narrower than
4:08 and the bar breathed once a second -- tabular figures fix that.
The character *count* changes too, at the hundredth minute and whenever
the right-hand clock is toggled to remaining and grows a minus sign,
which a figure width cannot fix -- so each clock reserves the widest
string this track can put in it.

The budget is per track rather than a constant: reserving six
characters on every track would push the slider in by a character at
each end to buy nothing.

Measured in the component tier: 4.5px of drift across three positions
before, none after.
