Implemented smooth audio switching

[krseager]

This PR will implement smooth audio track switching.

Why is this Pull Request needed?

• Currently Switching audio tracks causes the Audio Buffer to be flushed immediately upon AUDIO_TRACK_SWITCHING event being fired. This leads to buffering being induced every single time when audio track is switched.
• The solution now provides a new API for setting the nextAudioTrack, which allows you to utilize existing audio track switching behavior OR to use this new API that automatically schedules the next audio track.

Are there any points in the code the reviewer needs to double check?

• Ensure API documentation is clear
• Ensure stream-controller and base-stream-controller refactor does not break anything
• Ensure new AudioSelectionOption is clear and makes sense

Resolves issues:

• N/A (Let me know if I need to create an issue for this before merging the PR)

Checklist

• changes have been done against master branch, and PR does not conflict
• new unit / functional tests have been added (whenever applicable)
• API or design changes are documented in API.md

AudioSelectionOption is intended to describe the preferred audio of the user, not how to get the option or switch between options. AudioSelectionOption should remain limited to a subset of MediaPlaylist attributes and audio characteristic adjacent properties.

If these new options are necessary, then they should be added to HlsConfig with defaults. Since I don't see any defaults, are they even necessary?

[krseager]

Just removed nextAudioTrackSwitchingSafetyDelay & renamed nextAudioTrackBufferFlushDelay to nextAudioTrackBufferFlushForwardOffset to be more accurate and put that into HlsConfig with a default value.

Add unit tests before aproving/merging.

[robwalch]

@krseager it looks like all the feedback has been addressed - did I miss anything?

Any ETA on adding tests?

[robwalch]

Approving with one suggestion for follow-up:

flushImmediate should be added as an optional property in AudioSelectionOption, so that the default behavior can be overridden when using hls.setAudioOption to change audio tracks.

// Make a "smooth" track change to a rendition matching the audio option criteria
// (`lang`, `channels`, etc...)
hls.setAudioOption({ /* track criteria */, flushImmediate: false });
