e6e011baaf Add stream layer
The decoder initially read from the socket, decoded the video and sent
the decoded frames to the screen:

              +---------+      +----------+
  socket ---> | decoder | ---> |  screen  |
              +---------+      +----------+

The design was simple, but the decoder had several responsabilities.

Then we added the recording feature, so we added a recorder, which
reused the packets received from the socket managed by the decoder:

                                    +----------+
                               ---> |  screen  |
              +---------+     /     +----------+
  socket ---> | decoder | ----
              +---------+     \     +----------+
                               ---> | recorder |
                                    +----------+

This lack of separation of concerns now have concrete implications: we
could not (properly) disable the decoder/display to only record the
video.

Therefore, split the decoder to extract the stream:

                                    +----------+      +----------+
                               ---> | decoder  | ---> |  screen  |
              +---------+     /     +----------+      +----------+
  socket ---> | stream  | ----
              +---------+     \     +----------+
                               ---> | recorder |
                                    +----------+

This will allow to record the stream without decoding the video.
