…QUENCE (shaka-project#6378)

Fixes shaka-project#6377

When choosing to synchronize HLS streams using `EXT-X-MEDIA-SEQUENCE` instead of `EXT-X-PROGRAM-DATE-TIME` during LIVE playlist variant switches, Shaka unnecessarily drops 'old' segments and offsets the segment references of the new playlist so that the earliest reference represents media time `0`: https://github.com/shaka-project/shaka-player/blob/ea740ba2468f3b035d463ea9933aa7eeccf5c748/lib/hls/hls_parser.js#L610-L613

This is problematic, as the `StreamingEngine`'s media time used to download new segments is based off the latest segment references:
https://github.com/shaka-project/shaka-player/blob/ea740ba2468f3b035d463ea9933aa7eeccf5c748/lib/media/streaming_engine.js#L1248-L1250
https://github.com/shaka-project/shaka-player/blob/ea740ba2468f3b035d463ea9933aa7eeccf5c748/lib/media/streaming_engine.js#L1385

For example:

```
            Playlist download #1         
EXT-X-MEDIA-SEQUENCE       Media Time
           0                   0
           1                   6
           2                   12
           3                   18

           Playlist download shaka-project#2 (what happens now)
EXT-X-MEDIA-SEQUENCE       Media Time
          6                   0
          7                   6
          8                   12
          9                   18

           Playlist download shaka-project#2 (desired behavior)
EXT-X-MEDIA-SEQUENCE       Media Time
          6                   36
          7                   42
          8                   48
          9                   54

```

Without this fix, and given the above example, if Shaka tries to request the segment at `time=36`, it will fail because the media state only has segment references up to `time=18`. Until the manifests, 'catch up', the player freezes; this can be especially problematic when a large amount of time accumulates before a variant switch occurs.

This has been confirmed by Pluto TV to fix their freezing issues.
