Skip large video start gaps using the Fragment gap flag.
Why is this Pull Request needed?
The gap-controller only skips start gaps less than two seconds in length. HLS.js can jump larger gaps and will for any fragment marked with a gap flag. There are already cases where this flag is added when segments are found to be a) completely missing all video samples or b) dropping initial samples because of not starting with a key-frame. This change adds the case where nothing is dropped from the segment, but it still starts more than 2 seconds after the start of the audio track.
Are there any points in the code the reviewer needs to double check?
