This PR adds a functional testsuite based on the Karma framework. I have been using this for automated regression tests next to our existing functional testsuite that is executed via CI/CD.
The Karma based testsuite includes additional tests such as checking for redundant segment downloads and gap handling. For that reason, static MPDs have been created that simulate situations such as gaps in the timeline.
As the Karma testrunner is deprecated, future work will focus on using WebTestrunner instead. Moreover, the configuration of the tests should be improved. In addition, new testcases will be added to cover scenarios such as limiting the bitrate by portal size and defining a min/max bitrate.
All these additions can be made as part of the work on version 5.x.
As I was using the testuite internally for checking new features and upcoming releases, I am adding this already in version 4.7.2.
