Create a general purpose stream buffer

David Vorick requested to merge stream-buffer into master

MERGE REQUEST

Overview

The viewnode + linkfile MR had a huge new piece of code in it to help the viewnode buffer and fetch data, so that high bitrate data streaming could be supported easily.

This breaks that code out into a separate MR without using any of the code at all. It's not quite ready for use on slower nodes because it doesn't have any adaptive data fetching yet, but this code is ready to be merged.

This architecture will really start to shine once the MDM and stream multiplexers are in place, it was designed to work with them.
