    libavformat/tcp.c : add send_buffer_size and recv_buffer_size options · 84110f4f

    adds two new options that may be set via the dictionary:
    
    - send_buffer_size
    - recv_buffer_size
    
    When present, setsockopt() is used with SO_SNDBUF and SO_RCVBUF to set
    socket buffer sizes.  I chose to make send and receive independent
    because buffering requirements are often asymmetric.
    
    Errors in setting the buffer size mean the socket will use its
    default, so they are ignored.
    
    There is no sanity checking on values, as the kernel/socket layers
    already impose reasonable limits if asked for something crazy.
    
    Rationale for enlarging receive buffers is to reduce susceptibility
    to intermittent network delays/congestion.  I added setting the send
    buffer for symmetry.
