feat: Enhance playlist management and GUI logic

- Improved playlist item fetching by adding robust pagination and low-level request hooks for better testing and flexibility.
- Refactored track ID extraction logic into reusable helpers for clarity.
- Improved initialization for dialog components to avoid circular dependencies in the GUI.
- Added new unit tests to validate playlist operations, including track addition/removal and API integration.
- Updated metadata functions to simplify dictionary access using `.get` for better readability.
- Ensured PySide6 system dependencies are installed in GitHub Actions to address CI compatibility issues.
- Streamlined UI package initialization to improve modularity and robustness of imports.
