For playlist, play in `serial` or `episodic` order

Hi!

We're using the PRX playlists (made using https://play.prx.org/) on our new site, Best Robot Ever (http://bestrobotever.com) . And while I realize we're probably unique in this respect, I was wondering > if there's a way to have the playlist start at episode 1 and progress, rather than the most recent episode? For our serialized shows, I think this makes the most sense for our audience.

Totally understand if this isn't a capability right now, but figured I'd ask. Thanks!

Steps:

[x] Look for feeds with a serial <itunes:type> in the FeedAdapter.
[x] If set, order the episodes by oldest-episode-first (whether in single-episode or playlist mode)
[x] Add a query parameter to the player for "season number". If set, also filter the FeedAdapter episodes to only be that season (<itunes:season>).
