avformat/hls: add http_persistent option
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 Signed-off-by: Aman Gupta <aman@tmm1.net> Signed-off-by: Anssi Hannula <anssi.hannula@iki.fi>
