This pr is the companion for my other pr (https://github.com/advplyr/audiobookshelf/pull/5128) and also adds the ability to mark podcasts (and other library items) as favorite and allows to filter for favorite items in the library page and the latest episodes page.
It changes the frontend, the backend is in the other pr. I only changed .js and .vue files, so it affects both Android and iOS.
In-depth Description
Added features:
Star icon next to the title in the item page, clickable to toggle.
Star icon in the bottom left corner of item covers when the item is favorite.
Filter by favorite in audiobook and podcasts libraries.
Filter by episodes of favorite podcasts in the latest episodes page (implemented via checkbox, the state is saved in the cookies like the library filters).
I added two new strings: LabelFavorite (en: "Favorite") and LabelOnlyFavorites (en: "Only Favorites"), but I only added them in English and German.
How have you tested this?
I tested it on Android:
The star icon appears correctly in the item page and in the cover.
Adding and removing an item from the favorites works.
Filtering in the library page as well as the latest page also works as expected.
I couldn't test it on iOS since I don't have Apple devices but I would expect that it works as well since I changed nothing in the android nor ios folders.

## Pull Request Type
<!--
Does this affect only Android, only iOS, or both?
Does this change the frontend or the backend of the apps?
-->
It changes the frontend, the backend is in the other pr. I only changed `.js` and `.vue` files, so it affects both Android and iOS.
## In-depth Description
<!--
Describe your solution in more depth.
How does it work? Why is this the best solution?
Does it solve a problem that affects multiple users or is this an edge case for your setup?
-->
Added features:
- Star icon next to the title in the item page, clickable to toggle.
- Star icon in the bottom left corner of item covers when the item is favorite.
- Filter by favorite in audiobook and podcasts libraries.
- Filter by episodes of favorite podcasts in the latest episodes page (implemented via checkbox, the state is saved in the cookies like the library filters).
I added two new strings: `LabelFavorite` (en: "Favorite") and `LabelOnlyFavorites` (en: "Only Favorites"), but I only added them in English and German.
## How have you tested this?
<!-- Please describe in detail with reproducible steps how you tested your changes. -->
I tested it on Android:
- The star icon appears correctly in the item page and in the cover.
- Adding and removing an item from the favorites works.
- Filtering in the library page as well as the latest page also works as expected.
I couldn't test it on iOS since I don't have Apple devices but I would expect that it works as well since I changed nothing in the `android` nor `ios` folders.
