UI fix: when casting, hide ViewGroup containing video player

For some reason, only hiding the video player wasn't sufficient.
This minor tweak completely removes the black box above the playlist.

bug fix: uncaught exception when CastSession ends in "CAST_ONLY" mode

-------------------------------------------------------------------

issue:
  * uncaught exception leads to crash

steps to reproduce:
  * pause "VideoActivity"
  * click "stop" on TV remote control to end CastSession

-------------------------------------------------------------------

CastPlayer:
===========

onSessionEnded()
 -> setRemoteMediaClient(null)
    -> sessionAvailabilityListener.onCastSessionUnavailable()

VideoManager:
=============

onCastSessionUnavailable()
 -> release(false)
    -> release_castPlayer(false)
       -> castPlayer.release()

CastPlayer:
===========

release()
 -> sessionManager.endCurrentSession(false)
    -> ERROR: because this entire chain of events started when the current session ended..

solution:
=========

in: VideoManager
in: -> onCastSessionUnavailable
old:   -> release(false)
new:   -> release(true)  // retain_cast_session

-------------------------------------------------------------------

old:
====

  @Override
  public void onCastSessionUnavailable() {
    if (castPlayer == null) return;

    if (playbackMode == PlaybackMode.CAST_ONLY) {
      setPlaybackMode(PlaybackMode.RELEASED);
    }
    else {
      setCurrentPlayer(exoPlayer);
    }
  }

new:
====

  @Override
  public void onCastSessionUnavailable() {
    if (castPlayer == null) return;

    if (playbackMode == PlaybackMode.CAST_ONLY) {
      setPlaybackMode(PlaybackMode.RELEASED_ALL_BUT_CAST_SESSION);
    }
    else {
      setCurrentPlayer(exoPlayer);
    }
  }

bug fix: add "RELEASED_ALL_BUT_CAST_SESSION" mode

issue this solves:

• in "BrowserActivity":
  • select video URL(s) to watch
• in "VideoActivity":
  • start a cast session
  • playlist of video URLs appears on screen
  • when a video in playlist is clicked:
    • video queue loads in Chromecast
    • position in queue skips to selected playlist item
  • "onPause" runs when Activity screen is closed
    • "PlayerManager" enters "CAST_ONLY" mode and releases all other resources
• in "BrowserActivity":
  • select video URL(s) to watch
• in "VideoActivity":
  • "onResume" runs and detects that "PlayerManager" is running in "CAST_ONLY" mode
    • previously:
      • "PlayerManager" transitioned: "CAST_ONLY" -> "RELEASED" -> "NORMAL"
      • "RELEASED" mode releases all resources, including closing the CastSession
      • "currentPlayer" is an instance of ExoPlayer
    • now:
      • "PlayerManager" transitions: "CAST_ONLY" -> "RELEASED_ALL_BUT_CAST_SESSION" -> "NORMAL"
      • "RELEASED_ALL_BUT_CAST_SESSION" mode is identical to "RELEASED", but CastSession is not closed
      • "currentPlayer" is an instance of CastPlayer
        • the previous video queue that was casting continues uninterupted
        • the new playlist of video URLs appears on screen
        • when a video in playlist is clicked:
          • new video queue loads in Chromecast
          • position in new queue skips to selected playlist item
