Adds the AO-scoped audiounit-skip-session-management mpv option from media-kit#52, which is the build-side half of media-kit/media-kit#1419. Without this, mpv's ao_audiounit driver unconditionally: - sets AVAudioSession category to Playback+MixWithOthers on init - calls setActive:YES on init - calls setActive:NO on uninit AVAudioSession is process-wide on iOS, so these calls fight any other component that owns the session (e.g. audio_service). The visible symptom in the spike: audio plays in background but the lock-screen and Control Center now-playing HUD never appear because audio_service's session configuration gets clobbered after AudioService.init. With this option (and the Dart-side change to pass it as audiounit-skip-session-management=yes), the embedder can keep full ownership of the session and the HUD wires up normally. Patch applies AFTER mpv-mix-with-others.patch — context overlap on the setCategory call. Verified line numbers match v0.36.0.
