player: simplistic HLS bitrate selection
--hls-bitrate=min/max lets you select the min or max bitrate. That's it. Something more sophisticated might be possible, but is probably not even worth the effort.

+``--hls-bitrate=<no|min|max>``
+ If HLS streams are played, this option controls what streams are selected
+ by default. The option allows the following parameters:
+
+ :no: Don't do anything special. Typically, this will simply pick the
+ first audio/video streams it can find. (Default.)
+ :min: Pick the streams with the lowest bitrate.
+ :max: Same, but highest bitrate.
+
+ The bitrate as used is sent by the server, and there's no guarantee it's
+ actually meaningful.
