React-native-video: [Android] Update Exoplayer to 2.8.X
Can we update Exoplayer to use 2.8.X? We currently have a hybrid native/react-native app and would like to use the newest Exoplayer, and the current react-native-video code is not compatible with 2.8.X.
Specifically 2.8.X removed the method "clearSelectionOverrides" in this commit. However, react-native-video calls the method here. There will potentially be other incompatibilities, but this was the exception we ran into first.

I'll do this pretty soon and handle the API changes. There were some outstanding PRs I wanted to get merged first to avoid conflicts, but I think those are in now.

Done in #1170. I've handled all text track stuff. I didn't hit any issues with other features not working post upgrade, but testing would be welcome in advance of the release. You can grab the update off the master branch.

Did some minor testing off master and everything looks fine!
