Playlist Import export

The Issue

• Has a user I want to share a list of tracks privately to mmy friends
• Has a user I want to have a single container to curate my content (not playlist and libraries, only playlists)

Proposed Solution

The users can request access to the playlist content to the playlist owner

Feature Behavior

Users will be able to click on a "Request access to playlist audios files" button. This is a LibraryFollow request of the playlist.library. Not to be confused with the playlist follow request (see #-followup)

Backend

• ``PlaylistViewSet add clear remove` update the uploads.playlist_libraries relationships
• ``PlaylistViewSet add clear remove->schedule_scan` -> Update activity to remote -> playlist.library scan on remote
• library and playlist scan delay are long (24h), force on ap update
• make sure only owned upload are added to the playlist.library
• update the "drop library" migrations to use the playlist.library instead of user follow
• make sure user get the new libraries created after library drop

Follow up

• Playlist discovery : fetch federation endpoint for playlists
• Playlist discovery : add the playlist to my playlist collection = follow request to playlist
