feat(HLS): Support byterange optimization on servers with support to …

…blocking playlist reload (#5347)

Some servers only support blocking playlist reload for a short time
(example: 3 partial segment times). If we are using byte range
optimization we must change the reload time to be that of a complete
segment and avoid these problems.
