• Adds the 'StreamRequest.createVideoStitcherLiveStreamRequest()' and 'StreamRequest.createVideoStitcherVodStreamRequest()' APIs to support the Google Cloud Video Stitcher API.
• Updates IMA behavior to respect the value set for the 'description_url=' parameter. Previously, IMA would always override the 'description_url=' parameter with what it detected as the correct URL, and change the 'url=' parameter to what had previously been set as the 'description_url='. IMA will still set the 'description_url=' if it is not set in the stream's ad tag URL.
