Marvin Scholz 633dcf71e8 avformat: Add new demuxer command API
This new API adds the ability to send commands to the demuxer and also
receive replies to these commands.

It is useful in cases like the RTSP demuxer, where it might be desirable
for the API user to send commands like SET_PARAMETER or PLAY and PAUSE.

Sending and receiving are decoupled, as to not require waiting for a
reply when sending, as with some demuxers and depending on the command
it could be necessary to process further packets in the meantime
before requesting a reply.
