ScreenTinker fb58256b1c Fix YouTube autoplay block from stale localStorage gesture flag
userHasInteracted was initialized from localStorage('rd_audio_unlocked')
on every page load. Browser autoplay policy is per-document, so a flag
from a prior session does not actually grant autoplay rights — but the
player code used it to decide whether to start the YouTube embed muted
(autoplay-able) or unmuted (blocked). Result: kiosks with the flag set
loaded a YT embed with mute=0 that the browser refused to start.

- userHasInteracted now always starts as false. The cold-load tap
  overlay flips it to true on real gesture; the 5s auto-dismiss leaves
  it false and playback stays muted (still allowed).
- unlockAudio() now also calls activeYtPlayer.unMute() so the muted
  embed unmutes immediately when the user finally taps the overlay.
- Removed the now-unused localStorage writes of rd_audio_unlocked.
