avformat/hlsenc: temp_file usage for master playlist and vtt playlist
currently master playlist and subtitle playlist creation does not use temporary files even when temp_file flag is set. Most of the use cases it is not a problem because master playlist creation happens once on the beginning of the whole process. But if master playlist is periodically re-created because of master_pl_refresh_rate is set, non-atomic playlist creation may cause problems in case of live streaming. This patch correct this behavior by adding this functionality. Reviewed-by: Steven Liu <lq@onvideo.cn> Signed-off-by: Bela Bodecs <bodecsb@vivanet.hu>
