This PR will...
Parse and validate Date Range tags in HLS playlists on playlist load. Date Range tags are converted to cues on the HTMLMediaElement's metadata text track on level update. In addition, the presence and duration of Date Range cues (as well as inband ID3 and emsg metadata cues already supported by HLS.js) are updated to reflect the Date Range content of the active playlist and inband metadata found in buffered audio/video tracks.
Why is this Pull Request needed?
These updates should more closely match the metadata text track cues produced by Safari when playing the same HLS stream natively in Safari.
