No autoload playlist

DearScenario Player does not scan a folder and pick a file. A new process stays idle until this launch has an explicit target (--open-file / a positional media path) or the controller sends play_media / load.

playlist.autoload, playlist.open_file, and playlist.default_loop are removed. If they still appear in an old config.json, the loader ignores them and erases the playlist object on save. Hardware decode now lives at decode.hwdec_mode.

How to play files

Put media under control.media_root (default ./assets) or give an absolute path / stream URI, then send a command:

{ "cmd": "play_media", "params": { "source": "show/opening.mp4", "loop": true } }

Files sitting in assets/ are not played until a command names them.

Loop is per command (play_media.loop or loop_set), not a config playlist.
