thePR0M3TH3AN f0a3ede3e5 Preserve autoplay preference on fallback; reload open comment thread after login
### Motivation

- Prevent a browser-policy muted-autoplay retry from overwriting a viewer's explicit mute/unmute preference and ensure fallback mutes are transient.
- Ensure that when a user logs in while a video comment modal is open, the open thread is reloaded (not just refreshed) so comments continue to display correctly after relay-backed services are reconfigured.

### Description

- Add `js/utils/autoplayPreference.js` with `muteForAutoplayFallback` and `consumeAutoplayFallbackMute` helpers to mark and consume transient fallback mutes.
- Update `js/services/playbackService.js` to treat sound as default unless the viewer explicitly chose mute, persist explicit choices via `localStorage`, ignore fallback-generated volume changes using `consumeAutoplayFallbackMute`, and expose `muteForAutoplayFallback` delegating to the new util.
- Replace direct `videoElement.muted = true` calls with `playbackService.muteForAutoplayFallback` in `js/app/playbackCoordinator.js` and `js/webtorrent.js` so fallback mutes are marked as transient.
- Change `js/app/authSessionCoordinator.js` to reload the currently open video comment thread with `commentController.load(activeModalVideo)` after login if a modal video is active, instead of only calling `refreshAuthState`.
- Update tests in `tests/services/playbackService.test.mjs` and add a test in `tests/app/login-defers-dms.test.mjs` to cover the login behavior that reloads an open comment thread.

### Testing

- Ran the `PlaybackService` unit tests (`tests/services/playbackService.test.mjs`) which assert `prepareVideoElement` behavior, explicit mute persistence, and the transient nature of fallback mute, and they passed.
- Ran the auth login unit tests including `tests/app/login-defers-dms.test.mjs` which verifies DM deferral and reload of an open comment thread, and they passed.
