Remove media_source platform from Xbox integration

Breaking change

Temporary removal of the media source platform

The media source has been broken for a long time and fixing it requires fixing things in the upstream library, which currently seems to be orphaned. Giving it some time to see if my PRs get merged or if I have to make a fork of the library. I am currently also redoing the media source platform from ground, as it has various issues and does not support multiple config entries (Xbox is therefore currently limited to single entry).

Temporary removal of the media source platform

My personal opinion, not a formal review, even if it doesn't work, now you are making a breaking change, which if doesn't merge today will only show up on the next major release, (2025.12) and when you fix it, you will have to wait for another major release since it would be a new feature.

If you leave it like this once you are ready you can bump the lib and fix it, even on patch release.

[tr4nt0r]

Yes, I'm aware of that, but as I am rewriting it completely I would prefer to submit it as a new feature. Also I don't expect a new release of the library, the last release is 3 years old.

[tr4nt0r]

I forked the library, so this might no longer be required, if the library switch is accepted #155536

Closing this then since #155536 is merged. Thanks @tr4nt0r !
