Introduces stream_http, an internal libcurl-driven backend for http:// and https:// URLs. Runs all transfers on a dedicated curl multi thread with a producer-side ring buffer, and exposes HTTP/2 multiplexing, QUIC/HTTP/3 (when libcurl supports it), HSTS and TCP keep-alive. Should generally be more stable and faster than FFmpeg HTTP/1.1 impl, additionally connections are kept-alive between files open, so if you open playlist of network files and navigate through them, it will re-use the same connection. Build is gated on the new 'libcurl' meson option (auto). When disabled or unavailable, mpv silently falls back to FFmpeg's HTTP implementation.
