patch for librespot instead of spotifyd

Upstream has deprecated support for spotifyd: https://github.com/kraxarn/spotify-qt/releases/tag/v4.0.1 (see changes).

Depend on plain librespot instead.

I have been running this setup on various machines. Except for the breakage by spotify itself it works very well.
