Yeah, we will have to factor out sdp_parse to ff_sdp_parse either way.
As I said earlier though, I am not averse to just putting all the
shared SDP stuff in the SDP demuxer.

Also I noticed that sdp_read_header shares rtsp_open_transport_ctx.
That complicates things, I'll need to think about it :) And there's
also the UDP stuff. My bad.

Yeah, this looks good insofar it preserves the current structure of
the code while separating dependencies. I may not like the SDP parsing
where it is, but I understand why it's there.
