Change new shaka.text.Cue() to process formatting information on the input text

Have you read the FAQ and checked for duplicate open issues?

Yes.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Well, I had to do a workaround, but it's only partly right.

Describe the solution you'd like

It would be super-great if new shaka.text.Cue() would parse the formatting information on the input text. For example, if the text looks like <b>This is my cue text</b> then the cue's fontWeight property should be set to "bold". This would apply to the <b>, <i>, <u>, and <v> tags.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I'm handling the three simple tags myself and setting the fontStyle, fontWeight, and textDecroration properties on the cue after calling the constructor. But the <v> tag is a bit more complex and it would be nice if shaka-player handled it.

Additional context

There is, of course, already code that does this. It's used when parsing a subtitle text file, but isn't called by the shaka.text.Cue() constructor.

If these were to be implemented, it should also handle escaped characters, such as  .
