bhh1988 41eac10c08 Stop infinitely retrying on network errors for VOD (#842)
Do not infinitely retry on top of the retry-policy already defined by
RetryParameters, especially for VOD. For live video the previous retry
logic is still useful to be robust against clock-sync or asset
availability issues. This commit adds a boolean configuration parameter,
infiniteRetriesForLiveStreams, to allow the user to turn this behavior
off even for live video.

Fixes #830 and #762

Joey Parrish 1d9e574afa Reduce the default buffering goal
Since we no longer clear ahead of the playhead, the only way to assure
responsive visual upgrade is not to buffer too far ahead.  Therefore
our new default buffering goal is 10 seconds instead of 30 seconds.

Manual testing using Chrome's network throttling feature has shown
no increase in buffering rates, so 10 seconds seems to be enough for
stable connections.

For situations in which 10 seconds is not enough, the bufferingGoal
setting can still be customized by the application.

Closes #520

Jacob Trimble 3bdfc7dfa1 Make default bandwidth estimate configurable.
Now, the default bandwidth estimate used is configurable and can be
set using Player.configure.

This also moves enableAdaptation and abrManager configuration values
to a subcategory 'abr'.

Closes #268
