BREAKING CHANGES

control-bar: This changes how slider handles are styled, so custom skins that are targeting them may need to change.
This removes the videojs.extend() method, please use ES6 classes instead.
This changes the DOM structure used for the video poster.
remove retryOnError option, turn it on by default
update icons path in sass to remove node_modules
This changes the behavior of the playback rate button.
This will cause Video.js to fail in many cases in all versions of Internet Explorer.
Removes support for Promise class option and assumes native Promise is available. Will break in older browsers or devices.
Instead of logging an error message, invalid events will now trigger an Error which will terminate the call stack.
Removes the firstplay event. Use one('play') instead.
