    hlsdemux: Resync live playlists to the 3rd newest fragment if we fall off
the playlist

    As HLS does not provide any way of knowing the server's clock, and we do
    buffering of "live" streams, at some point we will fall behind the server
in
    many cases and would have to advance to a fragment that is not in the
playlist
    anymore.

    Previously we would've just resynced to the next oldest fragment that is
still
    there, but this causes problems as from this point onwards we would always
    fall off the playlist again all the time.
    Instead we now resync and move to the 3rd newest fragment like we would do
    when starting playback of a live stream.
