hlsdemux: Search more when advancing fragment

In live situations, it is not uncommon for the current fragment to end
up out of the (updated) play range (lowest/highest sequence). But the next
fragment to play *is* present in the play range.

When advancing, if we can't find the current GstM3U8MediaFile, don't abort
straight away. Instead, look if a GstM3U8MediaFile with the next sequence value
is present, and if so switch to it.
