Synchronize volume level to remote UPnP players

Settings level: Standard
Description: When enabled, the volume of the remote player will be synchronized to match the volume of this Kodi instance. [1]

Note - The global system volume level may differ to the application volume level as they are controlled independently. This may lead to Kodi application being set to 100%, but the overall system volume of the hardware may be less, say 50% (eg the Windows Volume Mixer). This may lead to a situation where the volume setting on a stand-alone remote player to be set to 100% globally and being considerably louder than expected.
