Wear: long press seek forward to skip episode

[kevinGC]

Description

In the Android app, users can long press the seek forward button to skip the current episode and remove it from the queue. They are prompted whether to either mark the episode as played as well. I use this feature often and miss it in the Wear app.

I think the Wear app could have a similar feature: long press the seek forward button the skip the current episode. I prefer the behavior that also marks it as finished, but either behavior is fine.

I'm willing to do the work and send a PR for this. If I understand correctly (only briefly skimmed the code), SeekForwardButtonStyled depends on MediaButton which depends on an upstream UnboundedRippleButton. The UnboundedRippleButton has a clickable modifier. That can be replaced with the combinedClickable which allows for long presses. Then a call (to PlaybackManager.playNextInQueue?) has to be plumbed though as the onLongClick property.

So this requires a small upstream patch to horologist and some plumbing IIUC. But please let me know if I'm off base either about the value of the feature or the technical bit -- I don't really know Kotlin or Android development, but this seems simple enough.
