Support pseudo-streaming provider

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Support pseudo-streaming provider and look at cleaning up "deliveryType" so 
that "pseudo-
streaming" can be specified somehow

The current implementation is a bit of a mess - pseudo-streaming is turned on 
by default with "lighttpd" in 
the JW Player open ad streamer. JW Player supports the "streamer" flashvar to 
allow different streaming 
providers to be enabled - see 
http://www.longtailvideo.com/support/tutorials/HTTP-Video-Streaming for an 
example with MOOV.php

So, the "providers" feature is also required for JW Player to allow specific 
streaming providers to be turned on.

But I'm not sure what the correct interpretation of the VAST spec is for this - 
is HTTP pseudo-streaming 
suppose to be "progressive" or "streaming" in the VAST response?

My interpretation is that:

   http:// + "progressive" = progressive
   http:// + "streaming" = pseudo-streaming
   rtmp:// + "streaming" = rtmp streaming

etc.

This requires changes on the OpenX side as well - both forms of http:// come 
down as "progressive" right 
now.

Ok, here's the decision:

1. For ads - only http progressive and rtmp streaming support - http 
pseudo-streaming is not necessary as 
skipping forward in an ad does not make sense

2. For show streams, the "provider" config option will be implemented to allow 
different providers to be used

Implement providers for JWPlayer - at the moment it's fixed to "lighttpd" for 
pseudo-streaming which is limiting
