Do not clear subtitle cues or tracked fragments when updating subtitle tracks with identical tracks.
Why is this Pull Request needed?
When Content Steering forces a Pathway change, the player updates levels and tracks. Content from matching playlists (where STABLE-RENDITION-ID match) should not be cleared as these playlists are bit-identical.
Are there any points in the code the reviewer needs to double check?
This change also covers tracks with matching attributes. The assumptions is a new list with the exact same languages and characteristics should match the current list for the same Multivariant Playlist.
