0.2.62 - Roll back the custom playback engine

0.2.61 shipped the groundwork for Memby playing video itself and caused
playback problems in the field, so it is withdrawn. This is 0.2.60's code
released as 0.2.62: Android refuses an APK whose versionCode went
backwards, so a set already on 0.2.61 (20061) could not install a 0.2.60
build (20060).

The 0.2.61 work is parked on parked/0.2.61 and tagged broken-0.2.61.

Also corrects the changelog headings the reset left behind: the top block
was labelled 0.2.59 while holding 0.2.60's notes, and 0.2.59's own two
entries were folded into it.

+- Fixed: Playback is back to the way it worked in 0.2.60. The groundwork for Memby playing video itself caused problems, so it has been withdrawn and will return once it is ready.

 - Added: Voice search on the Requests page, beside the query, the same as Search.
 - Fixed: Remote navigation on the Requests search page. Up through the keyboard now moves a row at a time instead of jumping to the tabs, coming back from the results lands on the key you were last on, and Back steps results → keyboard → tabs → out, one press at a time.
 - Added: A USB or phone keyboard types into the Requests search the same way it does into Search.

 - Fixed: "Good morning" now greets you while the featured card is up, instead of appearing only once you had pressed Down past it.
 - Improved: Notifications shows a bell that quietly pulses while it is listening when you have nothing waiting, and a still grey one when notifications are switched off.
 - Changed: Requests no longer searches as you type. Type a name and press Search, so one title costs one look-up instead of one per letter — and two characters is now enough, so short titles work again. Dictating a title searches straight away.

+- Fixed: Moving up through the on-screen keyboard on the Requests page no longer jumps straight to the tabs — only the top row of letters leaves for them.
+- Improved: Requests now waits for five letters, and for a short pause in typing, before looking anything up.
 - Fixed: The featured cards at the top of Home no longer lead with a film you have already watched. Series are unchanged, so a new season of something you are up to date with still features.
 - Fixed: Saving a setting could fail repeatedly with a server error.
