Improve seek velocity

[nicosang]

Hi,

when a seek command occurs, dash.js has to download as quick as possible datas at the new specific time. In the log message, just below, we can see that between the seek command and the call to the new video segment for the time 544.31, some video datas have been appended. Those datas are timestamped at the time before the seek.

So, this PR has to abort requests that are downloading in order to seek quicker.
