ibaker e414f0d2ac Clean up Util.inferContentType methods
This fixes some small niggles:
1. `inferContentType(String)` is documented to take a path, but in the
   tests we're passing full URIs.
2. A `String` parameter is usually a path, but also a MIME type or an
   extension. In the new methods, the meaning of a `String` parameter
   is always clear from the name of the method.
3. `inferContentType(String)` is always passed an extension in
   'production' code (which has to be manually prefixed with a dot).
4. `inferContentType(Uri, @Nullable String)` always ignores the Uri if
   the String is non-null. IMO this logic is clearer to a reader if it's
   just in-lined at the call-site.

These methods are used from the demo apps, so will be part of the stable
API.

ExoPlayer SurfaceControl demo

This app demonstrates how to use the SurfaceControl API to redirect video output from ExoPlayer between different views or off-screen. SurfaceControl is new in Android 10, so the app requires minSdkVersion 29.

The app layout has a grid of SurfaceViews. Initially video is output to one of the views. Tap a SurfaceView to move video output to it. You can also tap the buttons at the top of the activity to move video output off-screen, to a full-screen SurfaceView or to a new activity.

When using SurfaceControl, the MediaCodec always has the same surface attached to it, which can be freely 'reparented' to any SurfaceView (or off-screen) without any interruptions to playback. This works better than calling MediaCodec.setOutputSurface to change the output surface of the codec because MediaCodec does not re-render its last frame when that method is called, and because you can move output off-screen easily (setOutputSurface can't take a null surface, so the player has to use a DummySurface, which doesn't handle protected output on all devices).

See the demos README for instructions on how to build and run this demo.
