Alessandro RosandGitHub a56408db19 add always available streams (#5335)
When the publisher or source of a stream is offline, the server can be
configured to fill gaps in the stream with a video that is played on
repeat until a publisher comes back online. This allows readers to stay
connected regardless of the state of the stream. The offline video and
any future online stream are concatenated without decoding or
re-encoding packets, using the original codec.

# Proxy requests to other servers
The server allows to proxy incoming requests to other servers or cameras. This is useful to expose servers or cameras behind a NAT. Edit `mediamtx.yml` and replace everything inside section `paths` with the following content:
```yml
paths:
"~^proxy_(.+)$":
# If path name is a regular expression, $G1, G2, etc will be replaced
# with regular expression groups.
source: rtsp://other-server:8554/$G1
sourceOnDemand: yes
```
All requests addressed to `rtsp://server:8854/proxy_a` will be forwarded to `rtsp://other-server:8854/a` and so on.
