tonihei 585806de24 Clarify doc of components which only allow a main thread player.
ExoPlayer can be run on a background thread, but some components (UI and IMA)
only support players on the main thread. This adds some documentation and
assertions for that.

To simplify assertions, this also moves the getApplicationLooper method from
ExoPlayer to Player.

ExoPlayer Cast extension

Description

The cast extension is a Player implementation that controls playback on a Cast receiver app.

Getting the extension

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

implementation 'com.google.android.exoplayer:extension-cast: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

Create a CastPlayer and use it to integrate Cast into your app using ExoPlayer's common Player interface.
