player: Fix vertical videos stretched to full screen

Browse source 
On the HiMedia/Amlogic TV the video renders through the vendor video
plane, which scales the decoded stream to the whole panel and ignores
the letterbox geometry AspectRatioFrameLayout lays out for the
SurfaceView. Portrait videos therefore filled the screen instead of
being letterboxed; on emulators the same code was correct.

Render the video in a TextureView instead: it lives in the normal
view tree, so the aspect ratio is honored on every device. Verified
on the HiMedia box (vertical short letterboxed, landscape fills the
screen as before) and on the emulator.

Closes #1

<!-- Player view with a TextureView surface: SurfaceView is routed through the
vendor video plane on some TV SoCs (Amlogic/HiMedia), which scales the
decoded video to the whole panel and ignores the letterbox geometry that
AspectRatioFrameLayout sets up, so portrait videos end up stretched full
screen. A TextureView renders in the normal view tree and honors the
aspect ratio everywhere (git issue #1). -->
