start_number option starts the playlist sequence number (#EXT-X-MEDIA-SEQUENCE) from the specified number. Unless hls_flags single_file is set, it also specifies starting sequence numbers of segment and subtitle filenames. Sometimes it is usefull to have unique starting numbers at each run, but currently it is only achiveable by setting this parameter manually. This patch enables to specify start_number source parameter by introducing hls_start_number_source with 3 possible values: generic/epoch/datetime. This ensures to set start sequence number automatically for practically unique numbers. Generic option is the default and this is the curent behaviour: start_number option value specifies the start sequence number. (start_number default value is 0) If hls_start_number_source is set to epoch, then the start number will be the seconds since epoch (1970-01-01 00:00:00). If set to datetime, then the start sequence number will be based on the current date/time value as YYYYmmddHHMMSS. e.g. 20161231235659. Hls speficication allows 64 bit integers as sequence numbers. This patch also changes some code where only 32 bit integer values were handled correctly.
