[Proposal] "Remove"
manifestUpdateUrl
loadVideo option for the v4
This commit undocument the `manifestUpdateUrl` API, so it is effictevely not part of the official API anymore, even if its behavior stays for now (renamed as `__priv_manifestUpdateUrl`). The `manifestUpdateUrl` was an advanced DASH optimization where it was possible to update a dynamic MPD through a shorter version of it, thus much faster. This was a clever solution for a real issue we had for a long time at Canal+, but it relied on complex and easy-to-break logic to perform updates. Now, we prefer other solutions, which are either standard (e.g. DASH packaging techniques to reduce the size of the MPD) or purely based on code optimizations (WebAssembly-based parsers, advanced parsing modes) - thus not relying on special URL like it was with this. As It is not needed at Canal+ anymore, it is not standard in any way, we didn't hear of any other person using this feature and as removing it does not break playback (it only make it less efficient if the feature was relied on before), I propose we profit from the v4 still being in beta to remove it before an official v4. Though this commit does not really remove the corresponding logic yet, it only moves it as an undocumented API. This is because we may want to still keep that logic maintained for some months in case its need ever seems to make a comeback.
