rtmpproto: Add getStreamLength call to query duration

In (non-live) streams with no metadata, the duration of a stream can
be retrieved by calling the RTMP function getStreamLength with the
playpath. The server will return a positive duration upon the request if
the duration is known, otherwise either no response or a duration of 0
will be returned.
