Removed deprecated features / properties

[CastagnaIT]

Description

List of deprecated properties that has been removed, and explanation for the alternatives

---

DRM properties:

inputstream.adaptive.license_type
inputstream.adaptive.license_key
inputstream.adaptive.license_data
inputstream.adaptive.server_certificate
inputstream.adaptive.license_flags
inputstream.adaptive.pre_init_data

addons that still use deprecated properties must migrate to the new:
inputstream.adaptive.drm_legacy or inputstream.adaptive.drm
wiki: https://github.com/xbmc/inputstream.adaptive/wiki/Integration-DRM

---

inputstream.adaptive.live_delay

This property has been moved on inputstream.adaptive.manifest_config
wiki: https://github.com/xbmc/inputstream.adaptive/wiki/Integration

---

inputstream.adaptive.license_url
inputstream.adaptive.license_url_append

These properties used for PVR, are no longer needed, because the Kodi bug has been already solved on Kodi 22

---

inputstream.adaptive.original_audio_language

This property has been moved on inputstream.adaptive.config
wiki: https://github.com/xbmc/inputstream.adaptive/wiki/Integration

Other cleanups-removal

• Removed Widevine HB wrapper commented code

  inputstream.adaptive/src/decrypters/HelperWv.cpp

  Lines 622 to 627 in 6b8cb37

  	//! @todo: the support to binary license data (with HB) that start with "\r\n\r\n" has not been reintroduced with the
  	//! rework of this code, this is a old unclear addition, seem there are no info about this on web,
  	//! and seem no addons use it, so for now is removed, if in the future someone complain about this lack
  	//! will be possible reintroduce it and include more clear info about this use case.
  	// if (data.compare(0, 4, "\r\n\r\n") == 0)
  	// data.erase(0, 4);

• Removed HLS "renew license url" add-on callbacks commented code
• [Dash] Removed support for custom forced attribute for <Role> with scheme urn:mpeg:dash:role:2011
• [AdaptiveStream] Removed code with fixed size sidx, the specific use case is unknown; it's probably just leftover code from the past that wasn't managed properly
• [SmoothTree] Removed unused InsertLiveFragment implementation, we currently manage updates by periodically downloading the updated manifest
• [AdaptiveStream] Removed adaptive buffering code, there is no plan to reimplement this soon

Motivation and context

All of these features were already planned to be removed for Kodi v23, no further support will be provided

All add-ons that still use some of these deprecated properties, must migrate to use the new one

How has this been tested?
