avformat/hlsenc: add support for microseconds since epoch based sequence number

Sequence numbers of segments should be unique, if an encoder is using shorter
than 1 second segments and it is restarted, then future segments will be using
already used sequence numbers if initial sequence number is based on the number
of seconds since epoch and not microseconds.
