Workaround Chrome silent coded frame eviction by removing later segments from buffer when PTS overlap is detected.
Group UA checks into a utility module.
Why is this Pull Request needed?
Chrome does not update buffered ranges in certain cases where coded frame eviction is performed due to presentation timestamps overlapping on append. Because of this, hls.js will not reload and re-append the segments with those frames. The HTMLVideoElement plays through these ranges without rendering any updates to the video. As a result video appears frozen until the next video keyframe.
Are there any points in the code the reviewer needs to double check?
