player: strictly never autoselect tracks from --external-files
Before this commit, some autoselection of tracks coming from files loaded with --external-files was still done. This commit removes all of it, and the only way to select a track is via the explicit stream selection options like --vid/--sid/--aid. I think this was always the original intention. The change could in theory still unintentionally surprise some users, so add a changelog entry. This does not affect --audio-file/--sub-file, even if these contain mismatching track types. E.g. if audio files passed to --audio-file contain subtitles, these should still be selected. Past feature requests indicate that users want this.
