options: add allow-mimetype suboption for demux_lavf
This can control whether demux_lavf should use the HTTP mime type to determine the format, instead of probing the data with the libavformat API. Do this to allow easier debugging in case the mimetype is incorrect. (This is done only for AAC streams right now.)

format detection less reliable. Can be used to force auto-detected

reliable enough. (Default: 26.)
+ allow-mimetype=<yes|no>
+ Allow deriving the format from the HTTP mimetype (default: yes). Set
+ this to no in case playing things from http mysteriously fails, even

+ This is default in order to reduce latency when opening http streams.
