4gray c8961c94d5 feat: use signal for active channel + listen for remote control events
- Replace local selected state with store signal (selectActive) in the
  channel list container so templates bind to activeChannel()?.url
  instead of comparing selected?.id. This unifies selection handling
  with the global store and prevents stale local state.
- Update selectChannel to dispatch setActiveChannel instead of mutating
  local selected property; keep EPG lookup behavior intact.
- Import selectActive alongside other selectors from m3u-state and
  remove unused local InjectionToken in video player.
- Add remote control listener in VideoPlayer (Electron) to handle
  channel up/down events and wire a new handleRemoteChannelChange
  method skeleton. Use combineLatest/take to safely read required
  observables for channel switching.
- Minor rxjs import and formatting adjustments.

These changes centralize active channel state in the store, simplify
template logic, and add support for remote channel changes on desktop.
