m3u8-cpp

This is a pure header files library used to parse M3U8. Spec depends on Apple's HTTP Live Streaming protocol.

I converted the node-m3u8 from javascript into c++ by using Github Copilot then made some adjustments.

All the test-cases passed (yes, I deleted some of them) but I am still not sure if everything works as expected.

TODO: Add serialize back for download function to save a local m3u8 file. But I am not sure if unserialize is necessary or not.
