playlist: go back to nearest well-known playback rate on +/-

Until now, if the rate was not one of the hard-coded value, and the hot
keys would jump not to the nearest known rate, but the second nearest.

Unfortunately, we still have to account for rounding errors in the
input thread, so this is not perfect.
