feat(snippets): add Hide Playlist Ads snippet

[h3j4]

Hides sponsored content in playlist and Now Playing headers: the video ad, the "Limited ads • Presented by X" row in both places, and the sponsor card section.

Every selector anchors on data-testid, href, or css-map class names rather than Spotify's hashed classes. Each target has two independent anchors so a single rename doesn't disable the rule.

Summary by CodeRabbit

Poem

A bunny hid the ads away,
From playlist night to header day.
CSS whiskers, selectors bright,
Sponsor cards vanish out of sight.
Hop, hop—clean screens take flight!

ad-specific discriminator rather than any `a[target="_blank"]`; use the
available ad-specific href, data-testid, or class, and retain a separate
fallback selector only when it is independently ad-specific. Ensure legitimate
owner or metadata links do not cause the entire header row to be hidden.
- Line 557: Update the sponsor-card selectors near
section[aria-label="Advertisement"] to include a locale-independent stable
anchor from the card DOM, such as its testid, class, or distinctive structure,
while preserving the existing hostname selectors. Add localized fixture coverage
confirming the new selector hides the sponsor card when the aria-label is not
English and no servedby./flashtalking link is present.

Good catches, both addressed.

1. Confirmed: a playlist description containing an external link matched the old selector. Re-anchored on the ad-server host (servedby. / flashtalking) so only sponsored rows match.

2. Added section:has([data-encore-id="listRow"] a[target="_blank"][href^="http"]) as a locale-independent anchor. data-encore-id alone would be far too broad, but combined with an off-site link it's ad-specific: Spotify's own list rows link to internal paths. Verified against a localized card with an unrecognised ad host.

On localized fixtures: snippets in this repo are CSS strings in snippets.json with no test harness, so there's nowhere to add them. Happy to include the markup I tested against in the PR description if that's useful.
