Regression: choosing lowest-bandwidth codec leads to always picking audio-only variant for HLS #861

Description

@ismena

This was introduced by 434f1bf (CL that fixed #841). The fact that we started grouping variants by codecs and choosing the group with the smallest average bandwidth led to the player always choosing audio-only variants for HLS content that has at least one.
We can't switch from audio-only variants to audio+video, so we end up being stuck with audio-only.
A manifest to repro: https://nexxplayplus6.streaming.mediaservices.windows.net/32de1b7d-822c-43b2-b3a5-1cd97f0e9ae7/242391_src.ism/manifest(format=m3u8-aapl)

(Discovered by investigating #860).
