Add a setting to disable scrubbing on the lock screen
Description
This is a feature found in several audio apps. See the thread in pdjfGa-Kp-p2 for user feedback on this.
We should be able to ignore the MPRemoteCommandCenter.changePlaybackPositionCommand or other callbacks.

@bjtitus This is a great quality of life improvement. The solution to this is to not add a target MPRemoteCommandCenter.changePlaybackPositionCommand, i.e. if the setting is enabled then skip this code:
https://github.com/Automattic/pocket-casts-ios/blob/bf66a503acc62854b87932020ea9dbd74dd62073/podcasts/PlaybackManager.swift#L1647-L1666
If been running this change in my dev builds for a few months and it works great. It disables the scrubber on the lock screen and Dynamic Island controls, but keeps the skip buttons active.
Just wanted to add that I’d love to see this feature added! Would be a huge quality of life improvement.
It's so infuriating the amount of times I lost my position on podcasts because of accidentally scrubbing on the lock screen. Please add that option, please.
