Tested with Spotify, fixes #83
Only potential issue is confusion with the media skill that also uses play. For now both work, with play media taking precedence.

Thank you very much and sorry for the late reply! Do you know of any apps on F-Droid I could test this with? It seems like VLC supports the MEDIA_PLAY_FROM_SEARCH intent but then it does nothing...

Also this might be the occasion to add support for MEDIA_PLAY_FROM_SEARCH in NewPipe ;-)

Looks mostly good to me, thank you!

I unfortunately don't know any f-droid apps that handle this intent properly. This intent seems to be pretty unknown/unused. Even Spotify only does the search without playing it as intended and YouTube Music just launches without even searching.
