FCast WebOS Receiver

The FCast WebOS Receiver is split into two separate projects fcast-receiver for frontend UI and fcast-receiver-service for the background network service. The WebOS receiver is supported running on TV devices from WebOS TV 5.0 and later.

The TV receiver player is a simplified player compared to the Electron receiver due to functionality being redundant when using a TV remote control or due to platform limitations (https://gitlab.futo.org/videostreaming/fcast/-/issues/21).
