command: change stream-pos semantics
Changing the byte stream position without cooperation of the demuxer
seems a bit insane, and is certainly useless. A user should do factor
seeks instead. For formats like ts, this will actually translate to byte
seeks, while treating the rest of the playback chain a bit more
gracefully. With this argument, remove write access to this property.
If someone really complains, proper byte seeks could be added as seek
mode (although I'm going to need a convincing argument for this).
Read access changes too, but in a more subtle way.
