fix: instant OS notification update + real audio preload for gapless playback

- Call updateMediaSession immediately on track change so skip buttons and
  cover art in the OS notification bar update without waiting for audio load
- Replace link[rel=prefetch] (no-op for audio streams) with a shadow Audio
  element (preload=auto) that actually buffers the next track
- Start preloading 60s before track end instead of 30s for more buffer margin
