[UI/UX]: Add Custom Shimmer/Loading Placeholder for IPTV Category List #319

Description

Enhancement Description

When loading large M3U/Xtream IPTV playlists on startup or account switches, the sidebar categories can occasionally appear empty for a brief moment. Adding a subtle layout skeleton or loading spinner will improve perceived performance.

Expected Behavior

  • When the categories network/local database load task is initialized, a smooth animated loading indicator or shimmer effect displays in the list placeholder.
  • Disappears automatically the exact moment data populates.

Proposed Solution

  • Tie a visibility state flag to the IPTV loading coroutines.
  • Implement a lightweight Compose/XML loading element into the side menu list wrapper.

Additional Information

I would like to volunteer to work on this UI enhancement. Please assign this issue to me!
