A custom element (web component) for playing HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) videos.
The element API matches the HTML5 <video> tag, so it can be easily swapped with other media, and be compatible with other UI components that work with the video tag.

</html><hls-video> is packaged as a javascript module (es6) only, which is supported by all evergreen browsers and Node v12+.
Note the type="module", that's important.
Modules are always loaded asynchronously by the browser, so it's ok to load them in the head 👍, and best for registering web components quickly.
