    dashdemux: stop fetching live fragments that don't yet exist

    There is an issue for live streams where download_loop will keep
    downloading segments until it gets a 404 error for a segment
    that has not yet been published. This is a problem because this
    request for a segment that doesn't exist will propagate all the
    way back to the origin server(s). This means that dashdemux causes
    extra load on the origin server(s) for segments that aren't yet
    available.

    This patch uses availabilityStartTime, period
    and the host's idea of UTC to decide if a fragment is available to
    be requested from an HTTP server and filter out requests for fragments
    that are not yet available.
