Support loading of an external playlist in MRSS format into the config in place 
of the "shows" config

Supported.. changes made to config and playlist/playlist controller classes to 
allow a MRSS playlist to be read 
in and stored in the config so that it's used during stream sequencing.

Tested with the following classes:

_vastController = new VASTController();
var jsonConfig:Config = (new PropertyBinder(new Config(), 
null).copyProperties(_model.config) as Config);
var playlist:Playlist = 
PlaylistController.getPlaylistObject(PlaylistController.PLAYLIST_FORMAT_MEDIA);
playlist.loadFromString(MediaRSSPlaylistTestHarness.getTestData());
jsonConfig.loadShowStreamsConfigFromPlaylist(playlist);
_vastController.initialise(jsonConfig);
_vastController.load();

This code does the following:

1. Constructs the VASTController instance
2. Reads in the standard JSON based config for the player (this uses the 
Flowplayer PropertyBinder which you 
won't be able to use - see below)
3. The a playlist object is constructed of type MRSS
4. I then use that playlist object to read in the XML playlist data - that has 
to be provided as a String so you'll 
have to have that ready to go by this time - in the code above I have a simple 
test harness that has a playlist 
structure defined
5. Then I instruct the config to load up the show streams configuration data 
from the playlist, passing in the 
MRSS playlist object
6. Once that's done, then the VASTController can be initialised with the fully 
loaded configuration object
7. Then trigger load() on the VASTController to construct the final stream 
sequence
