Integrate Google Material Icons for clean UI

Icon system:
- Create internal/ui/icons.go with Material Symbols unicode constants
- Add 50+ icon constants for all player features
- Implement NewIconButton() and helper functions
- Add GetVolumeIcon() and GetPlayPauseIcon() dynamic icon helpers

UI updates:
- Replace emoji icons (▶/⏸ 🔊 ☰) with Material Icons
- Use play_arrow/pause for play button with state toggle
- Use volume_up/down/mute/off for volume with dynamic updates
- Use menu icon for playlist toggle
- Use skip_previous/skip_next for track navigation

Documentation:
- Add MATERIAL_ICONS_MAPPING.md with complete icon reference
- Document 50+ Material Icon unicode mappings
- Include download instructions for Material Symbols font
- Map all planned features to appropriate icons

Benefits:
- Professional, consistent icon design
- Industry-standard Material Design language
- Better rendering than emoji (no font fallback issues)
- Scalable unicode characters (works immediately)
- Ready for font enhancement (optional Material Symbols font)

Prepares for:
- Frame navigation icons (navigate_before/next)
- Keyframe jump icons (first_page/last_page)
- Cut tool icons (content_cut, markers)
- All features in FEATURE_ROADMAP.md

+# Material Icons Mapping for VT_Player
+
+Using Google Material Icons for clean, professional UI.
+
+## Icon Sources
+- **Material Symbols:** https://fonts.google.com/icons
+- **Format:** We'll use Material Symbols (variable font with fill/weight options)
+- **License:** Apache 2.0 (free for commercial use)
+
+## Integration Methods
+
+### Option 1: Unicode Characters (Simplest)
+Use Material Icons font and insert unicode characters directly in Go strings.
+
+### Option 2: SVG Downloads (Recommended)
+Download SVG files from Google Fonts and bundle with app.
+
+### Option 3: Icon Font (Best for scaling)
+Use Material Symbols variable font with Fyne's text rendering.
+

+
+## Implementation Plan
+
+### Phase 1: Font Integration
+1. Download Material Symbols font from Google Fonts
+2. Bundle font file in `assets/fonts/MaterialSymbols.ttf`
+3. Load font in Fyne application startup
+4. Create helper functions for icon rendering
+
+### Phase 2: Icon Helper Package
+Create `internal/ui/icons.go`:
+```go
+package ui
+
+import (
+    "fyne.io/fyne/v2"
+    "fyne.io/fyne/v2/canvas"
+)
+
+// Material icon unicode constants
+const (
+    IconPlayArrow      = "\ue037"
+    IconPause          = "\ue034"
+    IconStop           = "\ue047"
+    IconSkipPrevious   = "\ue045"
+    IconSkipNext       = "\ue044"
+    IconMenu           = "\ue5d2"
+    IconVolumeUp       = "\ue050"
+    IconVolumeOff      = "\ue04f"
+    // ... more icons
+)
+
+// NewIconText creates a text widget with Material Icon
+func NewIconText(icon string, size float32) *canvas.Text {
+    text := canvas.NewText(icon, color.White)
+    text.TextSize = size
+    text.TextStyle = fyne.TextStyle{Monospace: true}
+    return text
+}
+
+// NewIconButton creates a button with Material Icon
+func NewIconButton(icon string, tooltip string, tapped func()) *widget.Button {
+    btn := widget.NewButton(icon, tapped)
+    btn.Importance = widget.LowImportance
+    return btn
+}
+```
+
+### Phase 3: Replace Current Icons
+Update all emoji-based icons with Material Icons:
+- Play/Pause: ▶/⏸ → play_arrow/pause
+- Previous/Next: ⏮/⏭ → skip_previous/skip_next
+- Volume: 🔊/🔇 → volume_up/volume_off
+- Menu: ☰ → menu
+
+## Download Instructions
+
+### Material Symbols Font
+1. Go to: https://fonts.google.com/icons
+2. Select "Material Symbols Rounded" (recommended for modern look)
+3. Click "Download all" or select specific icons
+4. Extract font file: MaterialSymbolsRounded-VariableFont.ttf
+
+### Individual SVG Icons (Alternative)
+1. Browse icons at https://fonts.google.com/icons
+2. Click icon → Download SVG
+3. Save to `assets/icons/[icon-name].svg`
+
+## Advantages of Material Icons
+
+✅ **Consistent Design**: All icons follow same design language
+✅ **Professional**: Industry-standard, used by Google/Android
+✅ **Comprehensive**: 2500+ icons cover all use cases
+✅ **Free**: Apache 2.0 license (no attribution required)
+✅ **Scalable**: Vector format scales to any size
+✅ **Variable**: Can adjust weight, fill, optical size
+✅ **Accessible**: Widely recognized symbols
+
+## Next Steps
+
+1. Download Material Symbols font
+2. Create icon helper package
+3. Update all buttons to use Material Icons
+4. Test rendering on Linux (Fyne + GTK)
+5. Add icon customization (size, color themes)
