HLS: temporarily blacklist a variant if failed to fetch
- abort high bandwidth immediately when bandwidth is fluctuating - use short-term bandwidth estimate for downswitch if bandwidth is not stable - discard bandwidth samples that's too old in absolute time - if already underflow, switch to lowest bandwidth to catch up - if error happened during bandwidth switch (likely due to new variant link is broken), switch to lowest bandwidth to catch up bug: 21754330 Change-Id: Ifd16d75e261cefb93b989829bf35a36783142ae0
