Release a claimed media item back to the queue

The undo of start, for when playback didn’t go to plan - the player errored, the video wouldn’t load, your process is shutting down mid-item. Drops the now-playing claim WITHOUT finishing: the item stays in the queue at its position, and it can be claimed again. Fires queue.media.released. Only drops a claim that actually points at this order id - never a different item’s claim - and releasing something you don’t hold is a safe no-op (released: false). If the item DID play, use finish instead so it lands in history. Requires media:control.
