feat(kodi): use qt-pinned nixpkgs for jellyfin-media-player

Decouple jellyfin-media-player from main nixpkgs update cycle by
sourcing it from pkgs.qt-pinned namespace. This allows the Qt-heavy
package to update on its own Renovate schedule, avoiding massive
qt5webengine rebuilds when updating other packages.
