chore(playback): remove Preload Next Track setting (#1007)

* chore(playback): remove Preload Next Track setting

The configurable next-track RAM preload duplicated hot cache and is
obsolete now that ranged streaming starts playback sooner. Gapless and
crossfade still use the internal audio_preload backup when hot cache is off.

* docs: add CHANGELOG entry for Preload Next Track removal (PR #1007)
