These changes splits the functionality for a stream-extractor into two
different objects, one being a stream_extractor_t (used to extract
data for an entity within a stream based on an identifier), and the
other, stream_directory_t, is to list entities within a stream.

Function used by stream-extractor modules to make it easy to create a
relative MRL for an entity within the data handled by the
stream-extractor.

The documentation associated with these changes should explain what
the function does in detail, and why it is necessary. In short the
function simply tries to attach a stream-extractor to a stream_t.

These changes introduces a new module type named stream_extractor. The
added documentation should explain when such module should be used,
but in short it allows for extraction of data within a stream,
effectively resulting in a new stream that refers to the extracted
data.
Interaction with the stream-extractor shall never happen directly,
instead the module-backend is written in a way so that it exposes a
stream_t to the public.
[ access ] -> [ stream_t ] -> [ stream consumer ]
'- [ stream extractor ]
Future changes are necessary in order to make modules of this type
usable in practice, but has been split into individual commits so that
the changes are easier to follow.
