olly 49bf83a169 Media2: Remove MediaSourceFactory + DataSourceCallback
- Applications should generally use DefaultMediaSourceFactory,
  or their own custom implementation if they need one. Having the
  media2 extension implement its own version directly doesn't seem
  that useful.
- Remove support for CallbackMediaItem. This type of MediaItem
  doesn't go cross-process, and it seems like there would never
  be a use case where an app would need to generate one locally.
  If an app needs to provide data from a custom source, it should
  hook into ExoPlayer's way of doing this (i.e., use a UriMediaItem
  with a custom scheme, and inject a custom DataSource that can
  handle this scheme).

ExoPlayer Media2 extension

The Media2 extension provides builders for SessionPlayer and MediaSession.SessionCallback in the Media2 library.

Compared to MediaSessionConnector that uses MediaSessionCompat, this provides finer grained control for incoming calls, so you can selectively allow/reject commands per controller.

Getting the extension

The easiest way to use the extension is to add it as a gradle dependency:

implementation 'com.google.android.exoplayer:extension-media2:2.X.X'

where 2.X.X is the version, which must match the version of the ExoPlayer library being used.

Alternatively, you can clone the ExoPlayer repository and depend on the module locally. Instructions for doing this can be found in ExoPlayer's top level README.

Using the extension

Using SessionPlayerConnector

SessionPlayerConnector is a SessionPlayer implementation wrapping a given Player. You can use a SessionPlayer instance to build a MediaSession, or to set the player associated with a VideoView or MediaControlView

Using SessionCallbackBuilder

SessionCallbackBuilder lets you build a MediaSession.SessionCallback instance given its collaborators. You can use a MediaSession.SessionCallback to build a MediaSession.
