rohks afb8d6c9e2 Make custom data adhere to Common Media Client Data(CMCD) specification
Added more comprehensive Javadoc around setting custom data and verification on key format.

Changed adding custom data as a `String` to `List<String>`. This would enable us to sort all keys to reduce the fingerprinting surface.

ExoPlayer HLS module

Provides support for HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) content in ExoPlayer.

Getting the module

The easiest way to get the module is to add it as a gradle dependency:

implementation 'androidx.media3:media3-exoplayer-hls:1.X.X'

where 1.X.X is the version, which must match the version of the other media modules being used.

Alternatively, you can clone this GitHub project and depend on the module locally. Instructions for doing this can be found in the top level README.

Using the module

Adding a dependency to this module is all that's required to enable playback of HLS media items added to ExoPlayer in its default configuration. Internally, DefaultMediaSourceFactory will automatically detect the presence of the module and convert an HLS MediaItem into an HlsMediaSource for playback.

Similarly, a DownloadManager in its default configuration will use DefaultDownloaderFactory, which will automatically detect the presence of the module and build HlsDownloader instances to download HLS content.

For advanced playback use cases, applications can build HlsMediaSource instances and pass them directly to the player. For advanced download use cases, HlsDownloader can be used directly.
