souphttpsrc: reset read_position when reading fails

Since 8816764112408766889c8b680a3af51115df4bf5 ("souphttpsrc: reduce reading
latency by using non-blocking read") souphttpsrc loses the connection with
"Socket I/O timed out" occasionally. It reconnects immediately, but the 'Range'
is not updated, so the wrong data is fetched.

I've attached a patch that fixes the 'Range' issue. With this, playing the file
works again. The error+reconnect still happen but recovery works as expected.

Sp far I have no idea why the error occurs. It's introduced by the commit
mentioned above. The HTTP server is in the local network. The error always
occurs at the same position in my test video.
