[Bug 18587] Define clearly what data is removed when setting an explicit duration

Phrased like that, it sounds like an implementation would rewrite the
overlapping segment to drop excess data before giving it to the decoding
pipeline. Implementing TextTrackCue.pauseOnExit already requires pausing at the
granularity of a single audio sample or video frame, so I think that if anyone
were to implement this at all, that's a more likely implementation technique.

If there are implementors interested in handling this situation well, I think
it should be spec'd in terms of pausing at duration and clamping buffered
duration, leaving the technique open.
