patch to force souphttpsrc reconnect when connection lost

The issue can be reproduced as follows:
1) start the playback
2) put gstreamer into the PAUSED state
3) wait for a long time so that the server would terminate the connection. I
believe, around 2 minutes will be enough for most servers.
4) unpause gstreamer

What then happens is that souphttpsrc would continue receiving a number of
chunks (at my system they are in total around 124 kb) and then go to the "got
body" signal handler, signalling EOS. This is inspite the rest of the file is
much longer than these 124 kb. I believe it would read from some internal
buffer, not realizing that the connection is broken. 

We have solved this issue using the attached patch file. Please consider
integrating it into a new version of souphttpsrc or solving this issue in some
other way.
