This improves downloading performance dramatically when cpu bound:
Before, even a high-end cpu from 2013 can't download faster than around 1MB/s.
The bigger read buffer size removes the need for a dedicated BufferedInputStream.
- add HistoryInfoItem (deriving from StreamInfoItem)
in order to add a special options menu for the list items
- delete HistoryActivity and everything that belongs to its UI (not the
manager tho)
- put everything that is local into local. (subscriptions still missing)
* Added a dropdown to video & audio settings
* Changes to ListHelper:
** Limits resolution when code requests the default video resolution
** Limits audio bitrate when code requests the default audio bitrate
** Removed some dead code and did some cleanup
** Make methods private/protected to help understand what was in use
** The code now chooses one format over an other using a simple raking system defined in array constants. I realized I needed to do this in order to choose the most efficient video stream. I did my best to evaluate the video and audio formats based on quality and efficiency. It's not an exact science.
