Tobias GesellchenandClaude Opus 4.8 bd62fd6658 refactor: rename soundtouch-web to soundtouch-player (transitional alias) (refs #451 )

The web player is intrinsically LAN-resident: it reaches speakers directly
and only delegates cloud-only features (e.g. TTS) to a possibly-remote
AfterTouch service via --service-url. That is exactly what a cloud-hosted
soundtouch-service cannot do, so the standalone player binary stays useful
and is not being deprecated. Rename it to state its purpose, with a
transition window so existing downloads keep working.

- cmd/soundtouch-web -> cmd/soundtouch-player; CLI name is now
  soundtouch-player. When the binary is invoked under its old name it prints
  a one-line rename notice (filepath.Base(os.Args[0])).
- Build/release both names from the same source: Makefile (build-player +
  build-web alias, dev-player* targets), Dockerfile (soundtouch-player image
  + transitional soundtouch-web image), release.yml and ci.yml (player +
  web artifacts, checksums, Docker images; release notes announce the
  rename). The soundtouch-web binary, image, and install script remain a
  transitional alias to be dropped in a future release (which will break
  stale fetch scripts and nudge users to the release notes).
- scripts/raspberry-pi/install-player.sh is canonical; install-web.sh keeps
  working but warns.
- Sweep docs, code comments, user-facing strings, and assets
  (soundtouch-web-ui.png, soundtouch-web-tunein.png, soundtouch-web-roadmap.md)
  to soundtouch-player; README documents the rename and why the player
  remains separate from the embedded /app.
