Don't cache offsets by segment URL, and instead refer to the previous
sequence. Initialization maps always require an existing offset value.

The spec does not say anything about mandatory offset values for initialization map byteranges, so I'm not sure if what I've implemented is correct. It currently raises a StreamError when the offset is missing on a map's byterange, and the download will fail. It could also default to zero in this case, but I'm not sure if this is implied by the specification, because maps can't refer to the previous segment like regular byterange tags do. Am I missing something?
