lavf/http: add support for reading streamcast metadata
Allow applications to request reading streamcast metadata. This uses
AVOptions as API, and requires the application to explicitly request
and read metadata. Metadata can be updated mid-stream; if an
application is interested in that, it has to poll for the data by
reading the "icy_metadata_packet" option in regular intervals.
There doesn't seem to be a nice way to transfer the metadata in a nicer
way. Converting the metadata to ID3v2 tags might be a nice idea, but
the libavformat mp3 demuxer doesn't seem to read these tags mid-stream,
and even then we couldn't guarantee that tags are not inserted in the
middle of mp3 packet data.
This commit provides the minimum to enable applications to retrieve
this information at all.
