fix: use curl pipe to bypass FFmpeg HTTP header buffer limit

The previous -max_alloc approach does not fix the 'overlong headers' error
because FFmpeg 5.1 (Debian bookworm) uses a compile-time stack-allocated
buffer (MAX_URL_SIZE=4096) for HTTP response headers, which -max_alloc
cannot change.

Instead, when the stream URL is HTTP/HTTPS, launch curl to handle the
HTTP connection and pipe its stdout to FFmpeg via stdin (pipe:0). Curl
does not have the 4096-byte header limit, so it handles oversized CDN
response headers from Douyin without error.

Additional changes:
- RequestStopAsync kills curl first (instead of sending 'q' to FFmpeg),
  causing the pipe to close and FFmpeg to exit gracefully on EOF.
- SessionProcessRuntime tracks the curl process for cleanup.
