feat(qt): A-B loop from the player bar's + menu

Mark A, mark B, loop between them until cleared; local playback only,
never persisted, cleared on track change or a seek outside the section.
A 100 ms watcher reads the millisecond position and reissues the local
seek; the seekbar shows the section and its two marks.
