Description of the Change
By default, all Mixer streams load with the Low Latency (FTL) feature turned on. This is not ideal for all users, since it requires a fast and consistent internet connection, and can lead to stream stuttering and other less-than-ideal viewing conditions.
This branch adds a new Setting to the MixrElixr settings pane that allows users to choose to turn off FTL when they join a stream. When this setting is ENABLED, MixrElixr will find the "Low Latency" button as soon as it loads and click it for them.
Benefits
Users who would like to load their streams with FTL turned off will now be able to do so without having to remember to do it themselves.
Possible Drawbacks
If Microsoft or Mixer choose to add an option to the base interface, the feature will become redundant but otherwise not necessarily harmful. Still, we would probably want to remove this feature in that case. The feature doesn't try to toggle FTL mode on startup if it's already disabled.

Note:
Please be aware that we may require changes if we
believe they are required to meet the vision and standards of Elixr.
Don't take suggestions for tweaks personally, we are all simply trying to make Elixr
the best that it can be :)
