Reproduction steps
Play a HLS-skip stream until manifest update comes - Window.windowStartTimeMs becomes TIME_UNSET
Expected result
Window.windowStartTimeMs remains as what it was in the initial manifest if it's not included in the manifest delta update
Actual result
Window.windowStartTimeMs becomes TIME_UNSET if #EXT-X-PROGRAM-DATE-TIME is not present in the HLS-skip delta update
Media
I can provide test streams if needed (the test streams I provided earlier should still work)
