Align live playlist updates to end of last when there is no media-sequence overlap and no PDT.
Why is this Pull Request needed?
When really short live playlists with sliding windows fail to update for longer than the duration of the sliding window, fragment times will slide back to 0 when there is no overlapping media-sequence, no overlapping discontinuity-sequence, and no program date time to sync on.
Keeping the sliding window moving forward, ahead of the playhead, ensures that streaming can continue and playback can resume when conditions are favorable and playback can resync with the live edge.
Are there any points in the code the reviewer needs to double check?
