player: simplify edition switching
The player fully restarts playback when the edition or disk title is changed. Before this, the player tried to reinitialized playback partially. For example, it did not print a new "Playing: <file>" message, and did not send playback end to libmpv users (scripts or applications). This playback restart code was a bit messy and could have unforeseen interactions with various state. There have been bugs before. Since it's a mostly cosmetic thing for an obscure feature, just change it to a full restart. This works well, though since it may have consequences for scripts or client API users, mention it in interface-changes.rst.
