[souphttpsrc] Add new features required to support DASH streaming

In attachment: souphttpsrc-add-support-for-DASH-streaming.patch

This patch modifies the souphttpsrc element in the gst-plugins-good-0.10.31
package.
It adds support for several new features that are needed by the DASH streaming
client DASHBIN (released in a separate patch).

The new capabilities are:
1) support for HTTP partial GET requests through the byte range specified with
the properties "first-byte-pos" and "last-byte-pos";
2) support for HTTP persistent connections;
2) several new signals to report the souphttpsrc status to the controlling bin
(DASHBIN) and to request the URL of a new data segment as soon as the current
one is finished;
3) two new action signals to start/stop downloading new segments (in case the
download buffer is full and we want to delay the download of the next data
segment);
4) error recovery support: if the given URL points to an unavailable server (or
a missing file), the error is reported to the controlling bin (DASHBIN) so that
an alternative URL is tried if available;

All the new features (with the exclusion of the HTTP partial GET requests
support) are enabled only when the new property "dash-mode" is set to TRUE.

Best regards,
Gianluca Gennari
