v2.5.0 - DASH Streaming and AnimatedImage Spec Compliance

This release adds full MPEG-DASH adaptive streaming support to the browser package via dash.js, alongside the existing hls.js integration (upgraded to v1.7.0), and roDeviceInfo.canDecodeVideo()/videoFormats() now report DASH container support. The preliminary roAnimatedImage/AnimatedImage implementation is now spec-compliant against Roku OS 15.3's newly-published documentation. Also included: a fix for roSprite.SetRegion() being overwritten by stale animated-sprite frames, a fix for Video.captionRenderArea sub-fields being silently dropped when read from a case-preserved associative array, and several other fixes and improvements. Read the full release notes below for more details.
