This simplifies usage for segment streaming formats with no global
headers, tipically MPEG 2 transport stream "ts" files.
The seg class duplication is required in order to avoid an infinite loop
in libavformat/utils.c:format_child_next_class().
This adds two protocols, but one of them is an internal implementation
detail just used as an abstraction layer/generalization in the code. The
RTMPT protocol implementation uses rtmphttp:// as an alternative to the
tcp:// protocol. This allows moving most of the lower level logic out
from the higher level generic rtmp code.

Keep the old protocol name around for backwards compatibility
until the next bump.
Deprecate the method of implicitly assuming the nested protocol.
For applehttp://server/path, it might have felt logical, but
supporting hls://server/path isn't quite as intuitive. Therefore
only support hls+http://server/path from now on.
Using this protocol at all is discouraged, since the hls demuxer
is more complete and fits into the architecture better. There
have been cases where the protocol implementation worked better
than the demuxer, but this should no longer be the case.

When this demuxer was created, there didn't seem to be any
consensus of a common short name for this protocol. Now
the consensus seems to be to call it hls.

This allows easily differentiating between both implementations within the build
system and combining the native implementation for plain RTMP with librtmp for
the RTMPE, RTMPS, RTMPT, RTMPTE protocol variants.
Not yet complete, for demuxing AAC the AAC header must be generated
manually.
Possibly the decoder could accept the header as extradata to simplify
this.

This opens a plain TCP connection through the proxy via the
CONNECT HTTP method. Normally, this is allowed for connections
on port 443, but can in general be used to allow connections
to any port (depending on proxy configuration), and could thus
be used to tunnel any TCP connection via a HTTP proxy.

Note, this protocol doesn't yet check verify the server
certificate against a local database of trusted CA root
certificates.
