Draft: applets/mediacontroller: Seek on slider release, not at delayed intervals

Oliver Beard requested to merge (removed):mediacontroller-seek-on-release into master

This essentially drops the timer used to delay or break up position updates, done to drop race conditions. Rather than update the position of media whilst sliding, we do it when the slider is released like most other media players.

Some, like YouTube, essentially pause whilst sliding and resuming playback on release after setting the position. This would be good to prevent a possible issue when the track changes whilst seeking.

TODO:

  • Requires testing when I can get a Qt6/KF6 master version running. I have not tested this and doubt it works.
  • Add some of this lovely info above to the commit description.
