addon: wire play action + remote-control via Kodi JSON-RPC

main.py now handles the standard Kodi plugin-URL routing:

  plugin://plugin.video.torttube/?action=play&id=<yt-id>
  plugin://plugin.video.torttube/?action=play&url=<full-url>

Either form calls the sidecar resolve op, picks a stream URL from the
response (rustypipe video_stream preferred, yt-dlp combined fallback),
and hands it to Kodi via xbmcplugin.setResolvedUrl.

URL parser accepts watch?v=, youtu.be/, /shorts/, /embed/, /live/, and
bare 11-char IDs. setResolvedUrl flags inputstream.adaptive for .mpd
and .m3u8 manifests so DASH/HLS streams play with the right demuxer.

This makes 'share to TV' work over Kodi's existing JSON-RPC API on
:8080 — Player.Open with a plugin URL is all the remote client needs.
No new server, no app — Kore / Yatse / curl / HA all already work.

docs/remote-control.md captures the curl recipe + Android share-target
plan for the eventual companion app.

# torttube — Kodi YouTube addon
# SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-3.0-or-later
"""M0 scaffold entry point. Sidecar handoff lands in M1+."""
"""
Entry point. Plugin URL shapes handled:
plugin://plugin.video.torttube/ (root: M3 will add browse UI)
plugin://plugin.video.torttube/?action=play&id=ID (resolve + play a YouTube ID)
plugin://plugin.video.torttube/?action=play&url=URL (extract ID from URL, then play)
Remote-control / share-to-TV pattern (Kodi JSON-RPC):
POST http://<rpi>:8080/jsonrpc
Basic auth (kodi user)
{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"Player.Open","params":{
"item":{"file":"plugin://plugin.video.torttube/?action=play&id=<id>"}}}
That's how Android / phone / "send to TV" flows hand off — Kodi already
exposes the endpoint, we just need to register the plugin URL.
