Wowza vod_streams API

The VOD stream operations are deprecated in 2.0. Use the /videos endpoints instead. Operations related to video on demand (VOD) streams, which are created through the ``/live_streams`` or ``/transcoders`` resources. A VOD stream is a recording of a live stream that viewers can replay at a later date. After the broadcast is over and the live stream or transcoder is stopped, Wowza Video creates the VOD stream and generates a playback URL. See [About VOD Streams](https://www.wowza.com/docs/create-a-vod-stream#about-vod-streams) to learn more.
