The hls.js maxBufferLength parameter sets the minimum amount of video that hls.js will try to buffer. We used to have this set to 30 seconds, but this caused problems with high-bitrate videos trying to buffer too much data and making Chrome/Firefox cranky, so maxBufferLength was reduced in #2148 and #2224. However, those PRs *also* reduced maxMaxBufferLength to 6 seconds, which doesn't make sense -- basically this is telling hls.js that it must *never* buffer more than 6 seconds at a time, even if there's plenty of memory and it wouldn't make the browser cranky at all. And obviously such a tiny buffer makes it very easy for small network glitches to cause user-visible playback problems. So this PR removes the maxMaxBufferLength configuration entirely, accepting hls.js's default (which is currently 600 seconds). Fixes #2856
