1. Simplify text for many conditional cross-context operations …

   Following one of the suggested alternatives by @mwatson2 on previous
   pull request review [1], this change introduces a "mirror if necessary"
   algorithm and uses it to simplfiy multiple places in the spec text where
   the attached MediaSource needs to update the state of the attached
   HTMLMediaElement. Note, there are several other cross-context pieces of
   text left unchanged, since they are specific to either setting up the
   conditionally cross-context communication ports, conditionally tearing
   them down, or describe how the extended media element buffering or
   seekable attributes behave relative to the potentially cross-context and
   asynchronous communication of the state used in those extensions.
   
   Note, upcoming PR for privacy and security section addition will also
   update (restrict) the flexibility for optimizing cross-context
   communication to help mitigate related timing attacks in
   implementations.
