add a dataclass for stream mirrors

[benklop]

I want to use this in the digitallyincorporated provider to pass multiple URLs to the player, so it can fall back to a backup URL if needed

Why don't we use MultiPartPath for this ?
Only thing we need to do is make sure the backend skips to the next path in the list if one fails

Initially that's what I did, but I wasn't sure that behavior would really be correct for other users of MultiPartPath. I'm happy to do whatever those with more knowledge of the codebase think is the right direction though.

If we use MultiPartPath, consider the behavior if the stream being listened to is a livestream event, and the stream ends (as it is intended to). Do we want to, when the stream ends successfully, continue on to the next stream in the list (which is the same broadcast and presumably also has already ended)? I don't think that's probably the right behavior as they're supposed to be mirrors of each other, rather than items to be played sequentially. Perhaps an additional flag on MultiPartPath would be sufficient, indicating if they are mirrors or sequential.

[marcelveldt]

An additional flag sounds good.

or we just allow path to be a list of strings (order determines priority)
