Add Al-Jazeera source

[jasuarez]

Provides a live stream channel to watch Al-Jazeera TV.

Couple of comments:

• Seems weird that you'd only have a single URL/media to pass to the calling application, aren't there more separate streams in different languages, or with different subtitles?
• the URL looks complicated, and most likely generated. Why not grab the web page/JSON file or wherever that contains it to generate it?
• this is a normal TV channel, why put it in grilo-lua-sources, which is usually for NSFW content, or slightly sketchy websites? I'd put it in grilo-plugins directly.

• Besides the live streaming, which is the one I'm focused on, and there's only one live stream, there are other stored videos that could be exposed. My aim is to just expose the live stream now, and try to add the others in the future
• I got the URL from the Kodi plugin. Seems we can't extract that URL from the page itself. If in future we add more videos, those will be obtained from the page itself.
• Yeah, I had doubts if pushing it directly to grilo-lua-sources. As you seem to prefer grilo-lua-sources then I'll close this PR and create a bug with the source.

OK.

I got the URL from the Kodi plugin. Seems we can't extract that URL from the page itself. If in future we add more videos, those will be obtained from the page itself.

Can you add a link to the source file that declares it in gitweb/github?

Yeah, I had doubts if pushing it directly to grilo-lua-sources. As you seem to prefer grilo-lua-sources then I'll close this PR and create a bug with the source.

Yes, seems fitting given the euronews plugin we also have.

URL got from https://github.com/xbmc/repo-plugins/blob/gotham/plugin.video.aljazeera/addon.py#L125

Do you mean adding this URL as a comment in the Lua plugin?

Yes, so that it can be updated easily when or if it breaks.
