This PR will...
Change the reload interval of a playlist to match the HLS spec. The playlist will now reload after waiting a timeout period equal to the target duration if there is an update, or equal to half of the target duration if there is no update to the playlist.
Why is this Pull Request needed?
The browser was previously requested updates to the playlist too frequently, which can put extra load on the server and is not in accordance with the HLS spec.
Are there any points in the code the reviewer needs to double check?
