• h264-server: Remove unused "strndup()" function.
• h264-server: Add return value to "connection.send_data" function, and use it to conditionally call "stream_client_del()" when a connection has closed due to write() error. Also, check that the specific connection is on our list before deleting it in "stream_client_del()".
• h264-server: Simplify RTSP/HTTP request processing and remove "string_list" related code.
• h264-server: Simplify HTTP request line processing and remove "string_split()" function.
• h264-server: Listen on port 8080 in addition to 554 and 8554 (for debugging, to force Wireshark to interpret stream as HTTP).
• h264-server: Add support for "HTTP over RTSP".
• h264-server: Add support for "interleaved TCP" streams.
• h264-server: Add source files for generating the MD5 hash which is used for session ID creation.

• h264-server: Remove per-request sequence number from "struct connection".
• h264-server: Clean up options handling, remove unused code, etc.
• h264-server: Add "bad_request()" function.
• h264-server: Fix issue when calling io_service_add() on an io_object that is already in a service's io_object list. We need to move the entry to the front of the list instead of adding a new copy (which breaks the linked list chain).
• h264-server: More "io_service" debugging messages.
• h264-server: Move global "control" io_object to "struct stream".
• h264-server: Move check for IO_FLAG_DELETE before validating various io_object values if DEBUG_IO_VALIDATE is enabled.
• h264-server: Use setproctitle to update server status via command-line (as visible to "ps", etc.).
• h264-server: INIT_LIST_HEAD is not required for child list entries; mark io_service_add() and io_service_remove() as non-external functions.
• Rework io_object creation and deletion, so we can avoid deleting an io_object that is still on the io_service's list of pending objects.
• Add compile-time option (CONFIG_USER_BUSYBOX_SYSLOGD_DUP) to suppress duplicate syslog messages. Enable CONFIG_USER_BUSYBOX_SYSLOGD_DUP in default builds for all StarDot products.
• h264-server: Declare various message buffers as "static" to prevent potential stack overflows when processing RTSP requests.
