feat: show real media thumbnails with theme-aware fallback

Add MediaThumb component and thumb.ts helper that resolve a preview image
from a probed thumbnail, a known videoId, or a derivable YouTube id
(mqdefault.jpg), falling back to a kind icon on a neutral tint when no
image is available or it fails to load. Wire it into the queue, history,
and library rows.

Also fix theme resolution: introduce useResolvedDark() as the single
source of truth for light/dark so 'system' is resolved against the live
OS signal, fixing thumbnails/colors staying light under Auto + dark OS.
