apps: Change playlist context menu behavior, fix FS#13336
Rename the "Clear List & Play" options to simply Play and Play Shuffled, and change their behavior slightly. Previously they would leave the current song playing, but now they will start playing the first song of the new playlist immediately. Shuffle options are now consistently hidden whenever a single file is selected. Fixes FS#13336 -- Play Shuffled is now always displayed where applicable, regardless of playback state.
