Allow specifying the multicast address

The RTSP server defaults back to unicast to the clients; and when requesting
multicast; it falls back to a hardcoded MC address with random ports.

For a server serving a lot of clients in the same network; this identical
destination causes all clients to receive all the multicast data sent (even if
they are only requesting limited ports). This strains the network heavily and
scales poorly.

This patch allows setting mc-override (maybe the name should be changed) in the
GstMediaFactory.
