The old HLSPlaylist struct was used for both master and variants. This meant that, in many circumstances, there had to be run time checks for "playlist type" (i.e. master vs. variant). It also meant that there were interfaces that were part of HLSPlaylist that had no meaning for master playlists, which was confusing.
This PR removes the old HLSPlaylist and replaces it with MasterPlaylist and VariantPlaylist.
This was done by making a new generic PlaylistCore object that is specialized for master and variant flavors at compile time.
This is a breaking change and we have switched to version 2.0 to signify this.
