Generic Player 1.0 released

Generic Player 1.0 (PyQt6 / PyQt5 compatible) media player.

A lightweight media player that continues the legacy of my now-obsolete Albix Player, rebuilt with a cleaner, more maintainable coding style.

Origins: Based on Albix Player (my original media player, now retired).

Lyrics: Provided via the external generic_player_lyrics module (show/hide only — no save/overlay UI).

MPRIS: Integrated via generic_player_mpris (requires python3-pydbus and playerctl).
