Sonos Keys 0.7.0

• Add optional Automatic enable/disable in Settings. Enable media-key control when the selected Sonos room is available, and disable it after repeated failed checks.
• Keep manual menu-toggle choices until the next network change.
• Show a crossed-out menu bar speaker icon with a transparent gap when control is disabled.
• Show a Sonos Keys Enabled or Disabled HUD after manual and automatic control changes.

Automatic enable/disable starts off. It works with Wi-Fi, Ethernet, and Manual IP. Playback and volume errors do not trigger automatic state changes.
