We are currently queuing periods in a way such that the new start position
lines up with the end of the previous period (to ensure continuous playback).
However, if the start position of the new period is larger than the total of
all previously played period durations, we may end up with negative renderer
timestamps when seeking back to the beginning of this new period. Negative
timestamps should be avoided as most decoders have problems handling them
correctly.
This change forces a renderer reset if we detect such a seek to a negative
renderer time and also resets the renderer offset to 0 every time all
renderers are disabled, as this is the only time where we can savely change
the offset of an existing media period.
Also, if playback starts with an ad, we choose the content position as
renderer offset to prevent the whole issue from occurring for the seek-behind-
midroll case.

In some edge cases the renderer position may be slightly ahead of the
buffered position and the total buffered duration is thus negative. We already
filter that in ExoPlayerImpl for the publicly accessible value. However, we
forward the unfiltered value to other components like the LoadControl, which
may be confusing.

This permission has normal access right and can't be revoked by the user.
However, an app can choose to revoke it when using ExoPlayer, e.g. if
no network is required and the app doesn't want to list this permission.
Support this use case by gracefully catching the exception in the relevant
places.

We currently report MediaCodec exceptions as unexpected exceptions instead of
as renderer error. All such exceptions are now wrapped in a new DecoderException
to allow adding more details to the exception.
