[video_player_avfoundation] Support the audio-only HLS (.m3u8) on iOS
Supports the audio-only HLS on iOS.
After through https://github.com/flutter/plugins/pull/4639 and https://github.com/flutter/plugins/pull/4727, we can play HLS videos and audios, but it does not support audio-only HLS. When attempting to play that on iOS, it never finishes initialization.

@nateshmbhat it should already be published
I'm still seeing video_player library in pub dev showing last update was 3 months back
I'm still seeing video_player library in pub dev showing last update was 3 months back
It's the implementation library: https://pub.dev/packages/video_player_avfoundation
So if I use the current version of video player will it automatically use this new AV Foundation Player version?
