use id returned via /streamids or /streams within seedlink #12

Output of /streamids looks like AK_BCP__BHE and /streams looks like AK_BCP__BHE/MSEED but to feed that back into seedlink to get a realtime feed the client has to change it to

STATION BCP AK
SELECT --BHE.D

which is not intuitive. Would be much nicer if a client could use one of AK_BCP__BHE or AK_BCP__BHE/MSEED withing the seedlink select, maybe like:

SELECT AK_BCP__BHE/MSEED

Basically would be nice if ringserver would eat its own dogfood! :)

I realize this extends the seedlink protocol, which may be a problem.

Ringserver eats its own dog food via DataLink, which is the native protocol so to speak. There could be another endpoint for producing SeedLink-style input, but honestly I'm not sure it's worth it. I'll leave this here as an idea.
