avformat: Add IPFS protocol support.

This patch adds support for:
- ffplay ipfs://<cid>
- ffplay ipns://<cid>

IPFS data can be played from so called "ipfs gateways".
A gateway is essentially a webserver that gives access to the
distributed IPFS network.

This protocol support (ipfs and ipns) therefore translates
ipfs:// and ipns:// to a http:// url. This resulting url is
then handled by the http protocol. It could also be https
depending on the gateway provided.

To use this protocol, a gateway must be provided.
If you do nothing it will try to find it in your
$HOME/.ipfs/gateway file. The ways to set it manually are:
1. Define a -gateway <url> to the gateway.
2. Define $IPFS_GATEWAY with the full http link to the gateway.
3. Define $IPFS_PATH and point it to the IPFS data path.
4. Have IPFS running in your local user folder (under $HOME/.ipfs).

@section ipfs
InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) protocol support. One can access files stored
on the IPFS network through so called gateways. Those are http(s) endpoints.
This protocol wraps the IPFS native protocols (ipfs:// and ipns://) to be send
to such a gateway. Users can (and should) host their own node which means this
protocol will use your local gateway to access files on the IPFS network.
If a user doesn't have a node of their own then the public gateway dweb.link is
used by default.
You can use this protocol in 2 ways. Using IPFS:
@example
ffplay ipfs://QmbGtJg23skhvFmu9mJiePVByhfzu5rwo74MEkVDYAmF5T
@end example
Or the IPNS protocol (IPNS is mutable IPFS):
@example
ffplay ipns://QmbGtJg23skhvFmu9mJiePVByhfzu5rwo74MEkVDYAmF5T
@end example
You can also change the gateway to be used:
@table @option
@item gateway
Defines the gateway to use. When nothing is provided the protocol will first try
your local gateway. If that fails dweb.link will be used.
