Reimplement RecentlyPlayedListWidget
Rewrote RecentlyPlayedListWidget from the basics. There was a major inconsistency in this widget, where tracks were added to it if they were recently played at all, but the time shown was the "Last Played" statistic which is only updated after whole song is played. This caused gravely incorrect data to be displayed (see bug 302485). There were two different methods of solving the inconsistency: focusing on the "Last Played" time, and adding songs to the widget only if the "Last Played" changed; and focusing on recent plays completely disregarding "Last Played". I opted for the latter as I felt it fits the widget's nature better. Because we can't rely on already available data, the widget needs to do its own housekeeping. It saves its data on shutdown, to be restored on next startup. One other major benefit of this approach is that widget's data remains correct even if collections change, while previously tracks from removed collections would disappear. Finally, I added the feature to add tracks to playlist directly from the widget, provided that the track exists. BUG: 302485 FEATURE: 279263 FEATURE: 296090 FIXED-IN: 2.8 REVIEW: 111655
