[4.0.0-rc05] Inconsistent behavior for the PlaybackActiveTrackChanged and deprecated PlaybackTrackChanged events

[TobiDevloft]

Describe the Bug
In versions <4.0.0, the PlaybackTrackChanged was fired every time a track started, even if repeat mode was enabled and the same track got played again. In 4.0.0-rc5, the same thing can still be observed on android, but not anymore on iOS. While this might be intended behavior since the track does not change, both platforms behave differently. The same behavior can be observed for the newly introduced PlaybackActiveTrackChanged. This is discussed further in issue #1995.

We used this event for a feature which allows a user to repeat a track once, twice, or infinite times.

Steps To Reproduce
On iOS, Set repeat mode to RepeatMode.Track by calling await TrackPlayer.setRepeatMode(RepeatMode.Track). Then finish a track. The PlaybackTrackChanged is not fired. On android with the same setup, it is fired. Same thing can be observerd for the PlaybackActiveTrackChanged event.

Code To Reproduce

export const SetupService = async () => {
     await TrackPlayer.setupPlayer();
     await TrackPlayer.setRepeatMode(RepeatMode.Track)
}

Replicable on Example App?
Yes

How I can Help
If you point me in the right direction, I'll try my best but I only have very limited swift experience.

So I have adjusted the android behavior to not emit the track changed event when a track repeats: puckey@6a551f6 which is a part of the following pull request: #2058

[dcvz]

As mentioned, new functionality also stops Android from emitting this event. Now both platforms will behave the same. Since I know there's a request for having a way to track repeat plays in #2061, I'll close this issue (where platforms are inconsistent) as it was resolved by #2058 .
