demux: use seekable cache for network by default, bump prefetch limit
The option for enabling it has now an "auto" choice, which is the
default, and which will enable it if the media is thought to be via
network or if the stream cache is enabled (same logic as --cache-secs).
Also bump the --cache-secs default from 10 to 120.
