bachinger 3d8c52f28d Exclude tracks from PlayerInfo if not changed
This change includes a change in the `IMediaController.aidl` file and needs
to provide backwards compatibility for when a client connects that is of an older or
newer version of the current service implementation.

This CL proposes to create a new AIDL method `onPlayerInfoChangedWithExtensions`
that is easier to extend in the future because it does use an `Bundle` rather than
primitives. A `Bundle` can be changed in a backward/forwards compatible way
in case we need further changes.

The compatibility handling is provided in `MediaSessionStub` and `MediaControllerStub`. The approach is not based on specific AIDL/Binder features but implemented fully in application code.

Session module

This module provides media session functionality through which media information and controls can be exposed to the Android platform, as well as to other processes and applications.

Getting the module

The easiest way to get the module is to add it as a gradle dependency:

implementation 'androidx.media3:media3-session:1.X.X'

where 1.X.X is the version, which must match the version of the other media modules being used.

Alternatively, you can clone this GitHub project and depend on the module locally. Instructions for doing this can be found in the top level README.
