The need for this patch arose while attempting to live stream a DASH feed with low latency. Since I did not use a timeline, having an accurate start time became crucial. Without it, the player might download segments at incorrect times. Currently, the start time is set to the system time, which might not align with when the live feed actually started. This new parameter allows the user to specify the exact value for `availabilityStartTime` in the manifest file.
Note that this new parameter is intended for programmatic usage with libavformat. It is not exposed to the `ffmpeg` binary.
