Use artist top tracks when sampling genre and dynamic radio seeds (#6155)
# What does this implement/fix? Genre playback and Endless Mix artist/genre seeds resolved each sampled artist through the `all_tracks` enqueue preference, walking the full discography (throttled, uncached) only to keep 5 tracks per artist. They now sample the bounded artist `top_tracks` listing, falling back to full resolution when no provider offers one (local libraries, where it is cheap); direct artist playback still honors the enqueue preference. This affects nearly every streaming provider, since only phishin and qqmusic declare `ARTIST_TRACKS`; the old walk cost roughly 25-100s per 50-album artist depending on the provider's throttle (Tidal ~1 min, hence the report), repaid on every dynamic refill. **Related issue (if applicable):** - related issue https://github.com/orgs/music-assistant/discussions/6276 ## Types of changes <!-- Tick exactly one box.
