Podcast section: Add buttons for 15 seconds back and forward

On playback of podcasts you often need to re-listen to a previously heard part which you haven't understood well yet. But especially on large podcast files it's a problem to quickly scroll back only some seconds, because even a small adjustment with the playback position slider then often sets the playback point back to several minutes instead of seconds. Therefore it were great to have buttons for a quick backward or forward sliding, like users are used to it from other players already.

Hi TomorrowBits team, this one is live now! The new Podcast player layout replaces the previous and next track buttons with Rewind and Forward buttons, so re-listening to a passage on a long episode no longer means dragging the progress bar. You pick the layout per section, in the Detail view of your podcast section, and set the jump values yourself, from 10 to 60 seconds, with 15s back / 30s forward as the defaults. It's available on iOS, Android and PWA. As always, rebuild your app to get it. Thanks for the detailed request!
