Auto-connect request for sidra:mpris

Requesting auto-connection of the mpris interface for the sidra snap.

Sidra is an Apple Music desktop client for Linux that wraps music.apple.com via CastLabs Electron with Widevine DRM. The snap declares an mpris slot named sidra, which surfaces as org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.sidra on the session bus.

Without auto-connect, media key handling, playerctl, GSConnect, and desktop media widgets (GNOME, KDE) all fail silently until the user runs:

sudo snap connect sidra:mpris :mpris

The mpris interface is a standard expectation for media players.

The snap is currently published to the edge channel while I fix the remaining snap integration issues.

+1 from me, pretty standard requirement for a media player

+1 from me, given the primary role is playing and controlling music.
