hlsdemux: don't crash / leak memory on broken (master) playlist

    If a (master) playlist contains a variant list entry without a URI
    then during parsing of the next variant list entry we are
    a) leaking the entry we're currently parsing (new_list), and
    b) free'ing the pointer to the previous list entry (list) without
       updating the pointer.

    Hence when then adding the URI for the latest parsed entry, incorrect
    information is stored, as the information is used from 'list' which
    is not valid memory anymore, also leading to crashes.

    Fix this by correctly storing the new variant list entry pointer
    as needed.
