fix: v1.26.1 — hero/album/playlist background flickering

Background of Hero carousel, Album Detail and Playlist Detail was
flickering for up to 20 seconds on first visit. useCachedUrl with
fallbackToFetch=true returned the raw server URL immediately, causing
a double render — once with the HTTP URL and again when the blob was
ready. Fixed by passing fallbackToFetch=false in all three locations.

+### Fixed

+- **Background flickering in Hero, Album Detail and Playlist Detail**: Blurred hero backgrounds were flickering for up to 20 seconds on first visit. Root cause: `useCachedUrl` with the default `fallbackToFetch = true` immediately returned the raw server URL, causing the background to render twice — once with the HTTP URL (triggering a server fetch) and again when the IndexedDB blob was ready. Fixed by passing `fallbackToFetch = false` in all three locations so the background only renders once the blob is cached.
