Core patch

Add support for MS-WMSP (Windows Media HTTP Streaming Protocol:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc251059%28v=PROT.10%29.aspx) framed
ASF. This protocol wraps the ASF packets in an additional framing protocol
(application/x-mms-framed). In addition to removing this wrapping, the ASF
demuxer needs to be aware of the frame boundaries provided by this protocol, so
it seems appropriate to enhance the existing asfdemux plugin rather than supply
a new one. 

The attached patch includes the core of the technical changes and hardcodes the
use of application/x-mms-framed instead of video/x-ms-asf, so clearly it is not
yet complete. I guess what is needed is a declaration of the additional
application/x-mms-framed capability for the sink pad and code to detect if the
incoming data stream is in fact application/x-mms-framed and set the (new)
framed flag in the demux structure when that is the case. I am unsure how to do
that.

The patch only does anything useful with type H (header) type D (data) packet
types (see
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc251224%28v=PROT.10%29.aspx). It might
make make sense to detect two consecutive E (end-of-stream) packets as these
are sometimes used to signal end of stream without disconnecting the input
stream. Otherwise, the existing logic deals sufficiently with consecutive
streams, without explicit handling of the E, C and M packets.
