- Added support for ID3 frames of types GEOB and PRIV.
- GEOB type is commonly used by dynamic ads provider to include in the
stream information about the ads to be played.
- PRIV type is commonly used for time synchronization (example:
synchronizing playback of a live stream and its webvtt captions) and
also by analytics companies to include tracking information in the
stream.
- Added a sample stream from Apple that contains ID3 metadata.
Note: I'm fairly confident that NetworkLoadable.Parser implementations
can live without the inputEncoding being specified. But not completely
100%...

Support is provided for the following schemes:
urn:mpeg:dash:utc:direct:2012
urn:mpeg:dash:utc:http-iso:2014
urn:mpeg:dash:utc:http-xsdate:2012
urn:mpeg:dash:utc:http-xsdate:2014
- This change:
1. Extracts HlsExtractor interface from TsExtractor.
2. Adds AdtsExtractor for AAC/ADTS streams, which turned out to be
really easy.
Selection of the ADTS extractor relies on seeing the .aac extension.
This is at least guaranteed not to break anything that works already
(since no-one is going to be using .aac as the extension for something
that's not elementary AAC/ADTS).

The complexity around not enabling the video renderer before it
has a valid surface is because MediaCodecTrackRenderer supports
a "discard" mode where it pulls through and discards samples
without a decoder. This mode means that if the demo app were to
enable the renderer before supplying the surface, the renderer
could discard the first few frames prior to getting the surface,
meaning video rendering wouldn't happen until the following sync
frame.
To get a handle on complexity, I think we're better off just removing
support for this mode, which nicely decouples how the demo app
handles surfaces v.s. how it handles enabling/disabling renderers.
- Remove simple variant. Maintaining both simple + full is
unnecessary effort.
- Remove need to specify content id in Sample definition,
except where it's actually required (for DRM requests in
the Widevine GTS samples)
SampleExtractor will initially only be implemented by FrameworkSampleExtractor
which delegates to a MediaExtractor, but eventually it will also be implemented
by additional extractors.
The sample extractor can be used as a source of samples via DefaultSampleSource.
Note: This adds support for the majority of DASH live streams,
however we do not yet correctly support live streams that rely
on UtcTimingElements in their manifests.

- Move all three buffering constants to a single class (the
chunk source).
- Increase the target buffer to 40s for increased robustness
against temporary network blips.
- Make values configurable via the chunk source constructor.
- Treat captions as a text track for HLS. This allows them to
be enabled/disabled through the demo app UI.
Issue: #165
- Add options to switch abruptly at segment boundaries. Third
parties who guarantee keyframes at the start of segments will
want this, because it makes switching more efficient and hence
rebuffering less likely.
- Switch quality faster when performing a splicing switch (when
we detect that we need to switch variant, we now immediately
request the same segment as we did last time for the new variant,
rather than requesting one more segment for the old variant
before doing this.
AudioTrack contains the portions of MediaCodecAudioTrackRenderer that handle the
platform AudioTrack instance, including synchronization (playback position
smoothing), non-blocking writes and releasing.
This refactoring should not affect the behavior of audio playback, and is in
preparation for adding an Ac3PassthroughAudioTrackRenderer that will use the
AudioTrack.
