Claude 5297f091af Let a display's playlist actually be cleared
"No playlist" was an option you could select that did nothing. The picker offered it, and the change
handler opened with `if (!newPlaylistId) return; // Don't allow deselecting for now` — so choosing it
sent no request, changed nothing, and said nothing. The guard was honest about why: there was no way
to do it. PUT /devices/:id has never read playlist_id (200, ignored), and POST /playlists/:id/assign
can only ever set one.

Reported on #234 as "I also selected No playlist ... it still showed the same video". It did, and my
first explanation blamed the playlist-swap deferral. The deferral would have stranded it too — that
is fixed separately and tested — but on this path nothing was ever sent, so the deferral never got
the chance.

DELETE /api/devices/:id/playlist, device-scoped rather than playlist-scoped because there is no
playlist to authorize against when clearing. Ownership goes through checkDeviceOwnership like every
other device mutation, so a viewer and a stranger are refused. Clearing an already-clear display is
a no-op success, since it lives in a dropdown someone can pick twice. The now-empty playlist is
pushed to the device so the screen stops, rather than leaving the old content up until something
else happens to refresh it.

Validated on an Android 12 emulator against the reporter's shape: cleared while a YouTube item was
on screen, zero plays afterwards, device row cleared.
