fix(library): podcasts list newest episode first

A Jellypod podcast listed its episodes alphabetically. The store pinned
SortBy=SortName onto every drill-down, which overrode the order the
channel plugin returns — and since Jellypod prefixes played episodes with
"[Played]", the name sort also clumped every heard episode at the top.

Which order a container's children take is domain knowledge, so it moves
to Rust: the caller names the container (GetItemsOptions.parentKind) and
default_listing_sort answers with the sort. A channel folder is
PremiereDate descending, every other container keeps SortName ascending,
and a caller naming no container still gets no SortBy, so the paths that
rely on the server's own order keep it. An explicit sort always wins.

ChannelFolderItem with is_folder now maps to MediaKind::ChannelFolder
instead of collapsing into Folder — while both were Folder there was
nothing to key the rule on. The offline leg of the cache/server race
applies the same order, so the cached list no longer flashes in name
order before the server's arrives.
