lavf/segment: add segment_list_type option, extend format for the segment list file

Add list extended format which specifies in the list file the start and
ending time for each segment. This is required to make it available this
information to external tools, avoiding the need to perform file analysis
in the output segments.

 @item segment_list_size @var{size}
 Overwrite the listfile once it reaches @var{size} entries. If 0
 the listfile is never overwritten. Default value is 5.
+@item segment_list type @var{type}
+Specify the format for the segment list file.
+
+The following values are recognized:
+@table @option
+@item flat
+Generate a flat list for the created segments, one segment per line.
+
+@item ext
+Generate a list for the created segments, one segment per line,
+each line matching the format:
+@example
+@var{segment_filename},@var{segment_start_time},@var{segment_end_time}
+@end example
+
+@var{segment_filename} is the name of the output file generated by the
+muxer according to the provided pattern, and should not contain the
+"," character for simplifying parsing operations.
+
+@var{segment_start_time} and @var{segment_end_time} specify
+the segment start and end time expressed in seconds.
+@end table
+
+Default value is "flat".
 @item segment_wrap @var{limit}
 Wrap around segment index once it reaches @var{limit}.
