Honor "Auto delete" setting for episodes manually marked as played about antennapod HOT 2 OPEN

For implementation, it seems like this could be accomplished by moving the logic for auto-deletion from PlaybackService (relevant code here), to another location. Perhaps it could be moved into the markItemPlayed func within DBWriter?

Without saying anything about the technical implementation, I just wanted to mention that over in the threads about auto-download there's also conversations about auto-deletion. I believe that the idea was to potentially separate auto-deletion from -download. So maybe the 'auto delete' should be its own thing (which could be expanded later when we get to auto-download)?

I am also in favour of this or generally: completely separate "Automatic Download" and "Episode Cleanup".

My workflow right now is: New podcast episodes go into my Inbox and stay there (i have "Automatic Download" disabled). Then i choose which one to download, and it gets automatically removed from the inbox and put at the end of the queue.
Now, when it gets played fully it removes itself from the queue and AntennaPod deletes the episode from my storage ("Auto Delete"). So far so good.

BUT: Most of the time i don't listen to episodes to the very end (especially regarding very long podcast episodes or episodes where i loose interest). Then i mark them as played and remove them manually from the queue.

Which got me into the situation that i had over 20GB of old episodes still in storage. (I could work around this for now by enabling "Delete removes from queue" and then deleting with a swipe action instead of removing the episode from queue)

But regardless: I think the close dependency of "Episode Cleanup" to "Automatic Download" is responsible for most of the Download/Cleanup Feature requests here.
