Add a liveChannelListMode setting (default 'grouped') with a Settings
toggle to display the Live TV channel list flat, without category
group sections. When enabled, logical channels are listed directly
with their stream variants still grouped as in #9/#10. Cover the
setting default and flat-list behavior with tests.

Add a channelLanguageDetection service that scores language evidence
per IPTV variant (country/language prefixes in name and group, source
metadata, original title words) and picks the highest-scored language.
Integrate detected languages into channel variant grouping and add a
language selector to the live player to switch to a variant of the
logical channel in the desired language, keeping raw streams
non-destructive.

Add a channelVariantGrouping service that normalizes channel names
(strips region prefixes and quality tokens) to fingerprint duplicate
stream entries and cluster them under a single logical channel with
quality/source variants. Wire it into the Live TV channel list and
player variant selection, reducing duplicates without destructively
merging streams.
