Some http/1.0 implementations, like python's SimpleHTTPServer, can only support one client connection at a time. Making a second request while the first is still connected leads to a deadlock.
This change enables multiple connections for http/1.1 servers only, which need to support keepalive by default and should have no problem with concurrent requests.

This improves network throughput of the hls demuxer by avoiding
the latency introduced by downloading segments one at a time.
The problem is particularly noticable over high-latency network
connections: for instance, if RTT is 250ms, there will a 250ms idle
period between when one segment response is read and the next one
starts.
The obvious solution to this is to use HTTP pipelining, where a
second request can be sent (on the persistent http/1.1 connection)
before the first response is fully read. Unfortunately the way the
http protocol is implemented in avformat makes implementing pipleining
very complex.
Instead, this commit simulates pipelining using two separate persistent
http connections. This has the advantage of working independently of
the http_persistent option, and can be used with http/1.0 servers as
well. The pair of connections is swapped every time a new segment starts
downloading, and a request for the next segment is sent on the secondary
connection right away. This means the second response will be ready and
waiting by the time the current response is fully read.

This teaches the HLS demuxer to use the HTTP protocols
multiple_requests=1 option, to take advantage of "Connection:
Keep-Alive" when downloading playlists and segments from the HLS server.
With the new option, you can avoid TCP connection and TLS negotiation
overhead, which is particularly beneficial when streaming via a
high-latency internet connection.
Similar to the http_persistent option recently implemented in hlsenc.c

This is safer, as a selected demuxer could still mean that it was auto-detected

The description is yet crappy, it merely copies the description of the
added and undocumented options and their value range. More descriptive
documentation is welcome.
Users have no means to find out from a failure how to make it work
or is it preferred to check and print a warning for h264 concat without auto_convert ?

Changes since v1 of the patch:
- enable option by default
- add documentation
- move up PTS override code after PES header parsing, to ensure we use the
last PCR before the first packet of the teletext PES packet.
The option overrides teletext packet PTS and DTS values with the timestamps
calculated from the PCR of the first program which the teletext stream is part
of and is not discarded.
Using the same teletext PID for multiple programs is possible, therefore we
need some kind of heuristics to know which program PCR we should synchronize
to. Using the first non-discarded PCR pid among the programs of the teletext
stream seemed like a good choice.
The patch does not do PCR interpolation to estimate the PCR of the teltetext
packet, it just uses the last PCR of the program, which may cause a slight
error (0.1 sec) in the teletext packet pts-es.
Based on a patch by Reimar Döffinger.
