this was previously blocked because the session in query was meant to
be dynamic, therefore incompatible with static playlists required by
iOS. It is not anymore, so we can support that.
It is now possible to define forward destinations for each path configuration. For each destination, the server will create a client that will forward the stream to the intended destination. Supported protocols are RTSP, RTMP, SRT. API and metrics have also been improved to allow monitoring the new forwarding system.

when a user had previously inserted credentials into a MediaMTX
instance through a browser, and AllowOrigins was set to a wildcard,
third-party websites visited by the user were allowed to read streams
without restrictions. This is now prevented by returning "*" in
Access-Control-Allow-Origins when AllowOrigins is a wildcard, a
behavior that prevents browsers from sharing credentials with
third-party websites.
Media-over-QUIC is a streaming protocol built upon cutting edge
protocols (QUIC, HTTP3) and browser APIs (WebTransport, WebCodecs).
It's slightly faster than WebRTC, has an advanced data recovery
mechanism (placed at the frame level and not at the packet level), it
supports additional codecs (FLAC) and is less complicated to route.
Surface user agent in the auth HTTP webhook payload as "userAgent"
and in the API structs for RTMP, RTSP, WebRTC and HLS connections.

When MTX_QUERY is used explicitly in hooks, for instance "curl
http://something/?$MTX_QUERY", it can be used to inject arbitrary
commands. MTX_QUERY is now url-encoded to prevent any abuse regardless
of the configuration.
sessions are now tracked through cookies or query parameters.
This provides the ability to inspect sessions through logs, metrics and
API, allows more precise tracking of outbound bytes, decreases load on
external HTTP authentication URLs since they are now called once per
session and not once per request.
