Main use-case is proxying avio through a foreign I/O layer and a custom
AVIO context, without losing latency and performance characteristics.

Before this commit, AVIOContext is to be freed with a plain av_free(),

This patch makes aviobuf work more like traditinal file IO, which is how people
think about it.
For example, in the past, aviobuf only flushed buffers until the current buffer
position, even if more data was written to it previously, and a backward seek
was used to reposition the IO context.
From now, aviobuf will keep track of the written data, so no explicit seek will
be required till the end of the buffer, or till the end of file before flushing.
This fixes at least one regression, fate-vsynth3-flv was broken if
flush_packets option was set to false, an explicit seek was removed in
4e3cc4bdd8.
Also from now on, if a forward seek in the write buffer were to cause a gap
between the already written data and the new file position, a flush will
happen.
The must_flush varable is also removed, which might have caused needless
flushes with multiple seeks whithin the write buffer. Since we know the amount
of data written to it, we will know when to flush.

avio: add a new flag for marking streams seekable by timestamp
Merged-by: James Almer <jamrial@gmail.com>
This commit optimizes HTTP performance by reducing forward seeks, instead
favoring a read-ahead and discard on the current connection (referred to
as a short seek) for seeks that are within a TCP window's worth of data.
This improves performance because with TCP flow control, a window's worth
of data will be in the local socket buffer already or in-flight from the
sender once congestion control on the sender is fully utilizing the window.
Note: this approach doesn't attempt to differentiate from a newly opened
connection which may not be fully utilizing the window due to congestion
control vs one that is. The receiver can't get at this information, so we
assume worst case; that full window is in use (we did advertise it after all)
and that data could be in-flight
The previous behavior of closing the connection, then opening a new
with a new HTTP range value results in a massive amounts of discarded
and re-sent data when large TCP windows are used. This has been observed
on MacOS/iOS which starts with an initial window of 256KB and grows up to
1MB depending on the bandwidth-product delay.
When seeking within a window's worth of data and we close the connection,
then open a new one within the same window's worth of data, we discard
from the current offset till the end of the window. Then on the new
connection the server ends up re-sending the previous data from new
offset till the end of old window.
Example (assumes full window utilization):
TCP window size: 64KB
Position: 32KB
Forward seek position: 40KB
* (Next window)
32KB |--------------| 96KB |---------------| 160KB
*
40KB |---------------| 104KB
Re-sent amount: 96KB - 40KB = 56KB
For a real world test example, I have MP4 file of ~25MB, which ffplay
only reads ~16MB and performs 177 seeks. With current ffmpeg, this results
in 177 HTTP GETs and ~73MB worth of TCP data communication. With this
patch, ffmpeg issues 4 HTTP GETs and 3 seeks for a total of ~22MB of TCP data
communication.
To support this feature, the short seek logic in avio_seek() has been
extended to call a function to get the short seek threshold value. This
callback has been plumbed to the URLProtocol structure, which now has
infrastructure in HTTP and TCP to get the underlying receiver window size
via SO_RCVBUF. If the underlying URL and protocol don't support returning
a short seek threshold, the default s->short_seek_threshold is used
This feature has been tested on Windows 7 and MacOS/iOS. Windows support
is slightly complicated by the fact that when TCP window auto-tuning is
enabled, SO_RCVBUF doesn't report the real window size, but it does if
SO_RCVBUF was manually set (disabling auto-tuning). So we can only use
this optimization on Windows in the later case

avio: Allow custom IO users to get labels for the output bytestream
Merged-by: Matthieu Bouron <matthieu.bouron@stupeflix.com>
This allows callers with avio write callbacks to get the bytestream
positions that correspond to keyframes, suitable for live streaming.
In the simplest form, a caller could expect that a header is written
to the bytestream during the avformat_write_header, and the data
output to the avio context during e.g. av_write_frame corresponds
exactly to the current packet passed in.
When combined with av_interleaved_write_frame, and with muxers that
do buffering (most muxers that do some sort of fragmenting or
clustering), the mapping from input data to bytestream positions
is nontrivial.
This allows callers to get directly information about what part
of the bytestream is what, without having to resort to assumptions
about the muxer behaviour.
One keyframe/fragment/block can still be split into multiple (if
they are larger than the aviocontext buffer), which would call
the callback with e.g. AVIO_DATA_MARKER_SYNC_POINT, followed by
AVIO_DATA_MARKER_UNKNOWN for the second time it is called with
the following data.

Note to maintainers: update tools
Note to maintainers: set a default whitelist for your protocol
If that makes no sense then consider to set "none" and thus require the user to specify a white-list
