Protocol 14: a warm relay preloads relayed Up next items for everyone

The server keeps one small relay (32 MiB ahead, 8 behind) for Up next's
first relayed item, keyed by its queue id at a URL that stays the same
after the swap: fetched by the server for server-fetch links, fed by
the adder's app for through-me links and files, by a member with an
account for member-passed Jellyfin items. Every app preloads from it;
the swap promotes it with its buffer. Dropped when the item stops
being first or its adder leaves. Measured switch: ~1.6 s cold, 20-40 ms
preloaded. ROADMAP gains the research item on server-side fetching of
member-resolved URLs.

For a link passed on, a member's file or a link the server fetches,
the server starts getting the next item while the current one plays
(from the app of whoever added it, or by fetching the link itself), so
everyone has its start before it goes up; whoever added it keeps the
app open for that. Everyone shares one Up next and anyone can change it; what
you added stays when you leave.
