           Summary: Added Quicktime HTTP tunneling to the RTSP src element

I have added functionality to the RTSP src element to tunnel RTSP and RTP
through HTTP as defined by Quicktime.

(See the following link for details of how this tunneling works:
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/QuickTime/QTSS/Concepts/chapter_2_section_14.html)

This functionality is implemented in both gst-plugins-good and in
gst-plugins-base. I had to make changes in the gstrtspconnection API to make
this work. Since this is a public API I have tried to make it as backward
compatible as possible, and in my tests I have managed to use an 'old' rtspsrc
element with the new libgstrtsp.so library.

There are two ways to use HTTP tunneling with the RTSP src element.
1) Use an HTTP URL in the location property, i.e.
location=http://someserver/...
2) Use an ordinary RTSP URL and set the protocols property to 8

I have also added functionality in the RTSP source element to use an HTTP proxy
when tunneling over HTTP. The proxy usages is enabled with the 'http-proxy'
property. Note, for proxy to work HTTP tunneling must be enabled using an HTTP
URL (see 1 above)
