Problem:
The max_url_size calculation for DASH segment URLs only considered the base URL
length, leading to buffer overflow when the segment's sourceURL exceeded the
pre-allocated buffer. This triggered the log error:
"DASH request for url 'invalid:truncated'".
Reproduce:
1. A test sample "long-sourceurl-sample.mpd" (deliberately designed with a long
sourceURL) was uploaded to VideoLAN's repository.
2. Reproduce with short base path:
ffmpeg -i /tmp/short_path/long-sourceurl-sample.mpd
-> Triggers "invalid:truncated" error
3. With artificially lengthened base path (e.g. /aaa/../bbb/../...):
ffmpeg -i /long/../path/../with/../many/../segments/long-sourceurl-sample.mpd
-> URL resolves correctly (though HTTP fetch fails due to fake URL)
Fix:
Recalculate max_url_size by considering both base URL and sourceURL lengths,
ensuring sufficient buffer allocation during URL concatenation.
V2:
1. no need to determine whether initialization_val is null.
2. fix the incorrect variable name.
V3:
1. change `max_url_size` scope into `Initialization` and `Media` blocks.
