Blazemeter/HLSPlugin release v3.3.2

Performance improvements

• Added new JMeter properties to reduce memory usage during long or large-scale streaming tests by releasing response bodies after processing:
  • hls.sampler.releaseSegmentResponseData (enabled by default) clears HLS/DASH media and init segment payload data after listeners are notified, while preserving metrics such as bytes, latency, throughput, response codes, and headers.
  • hls.sampler.releasePlaylistResponseData (disabled by default) optionally clears HLS playlists and DASH manifest response bodies during playback sampling.
• Improved HLS playlist parsing to avoid unnecessary line-ending normalization when not needed.
• Improved DASH manifest parsing efficiency and thread safety by reusing a shared parser instance.
• Added test coverage for concurrent DASH manifest parsing and for response-data release behavior.
