Subject: command: add drop_buffers

This command was actually requested on IRC ages ago, but I forgot about
it.

The main purpose is that the decoding state can be reset without issuing
a seek, in particular in situations where you can't seek.

This restarts decoding from the middle of the packet stream; since it
discards the packet buffer intentionally, and the decoder will typically
not output "incomplete" frames until it has recovered, it can skip a
large amount of data.

It doesn't clear the byte stream cache - I'm not sure if it should.
