Google Tag Manager Plugin for the Brightcove player

Note this is not compatible with the Brightcove Smart Player which uses a different plugin architecture and API.

This plugin was adapted from the Google Analytics plugin for Brightcove Player

Main changes from the original:

Aligned progress events with the Smart Player GA plugin
Sends events and information to the data layer instead of events directly to GA
Removed support for the iFrame version for now until I'm able to get that working
