Native pipewire backend

@Mange Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. A native pipewire backend does not exist for spotifyd

Describe the solution you'd like I want to natively connect to my wireplumber/pipewire backend w/o pipewire-pulse

Describe alternatives you've considered pipewire-pulse is not clean enough

Additional context I have built a patch that applies to the current git as of today. Can someone try it? I am a dev for RuneAudio and we do use this, but I do not have a spotify account to be able to test it.

I have confirmed it does build and the config loads, but I cannot verify function. The config pertinent lines are:

backend = "pipewire" device = "pipewire" initial_volume = 0 mixer = "sink" normalisation-pregain = 0 volume-control = "pipewire"

the mixer can be either "sink" or "stream" depending on if you want the volume control to vary the stream volume or the sink volume.

also lmk if you try it and if it works.

Edit. Due to formatting errors, the bulk of this 'Issue' was not showing. I changed it and now it does. The patch is also showing, now.
