Support for EME/DRM operations outside the player

Vinay Rosenberg requested to merge github/fork/cablelabs/prot-set-candidate into development

Created by: greg80303

Moves almost all EME functionality from Stream into ProtectionController. This allows apps to perform "pre-fetching" of DRM licenses and to monitor all aspects of EME outside of the player.

Any DRM data associated with a particular piece of content is now contained with a single ProtectionModel. You can access and control this ProtectionModel via the ProtectionController. If you have performed EME operations on a ProtectionModel via the ProtectionController pair, you can now assign that ProtetionController to the MediaPlayer. The MediaPlayer will associate the protection data with the player's HTMLMediaElement and any pre-fetched licenses will automatically be available without further EME interaction.

Apps are responsible for the lifecycle of ProtectionController/ProtectionModel objects that they create. When the MediaPlayer is reset(), is will not release CDM resources (e.g. keys, sessions)for that content.

Apps are free to register for ProtectionModel events (really, EME events) on the ProtectionController that they created. They will continue to receive those events when the ProtectionController is attached to a the MediaPlayer so that they can stay informed regarding EME operations that are taking place.

If an application does not attach a ProtectionController, the MediaPlayer will create one automatically. In this case, the MediaPlayer is responsible for the lifecycle of the protection data. A reset() of the player will result in releasing of CDM resources.

Added MediaPlayer API for retrieving manifest.

Instead of separate APIs for attaching protectionData and protectionController, just add these optional parameters to attachSource (since they are source-specific anyway).
