 Currently hls and segment demuxer have the same functionality with
 different parameter names

 {{{
 hls: -strftime bool
 segment: -use_strftime bool
 }}}


 basically both do the same, so I think they should be named both in the
 same way?

 Additionally there is a parameter called which only exists for hls demuxer

 {{{
 -use_strftime_mkdir bool
 }}}

 Would be nice to have the same functionallity for segment demuxer as well
 (and again using the same syntax

 I'd vote for both muxers using the short_name (-strftime[_mkdir])

 Unfortunatelly I have no clue about C but also in terms of codebase they
 could use the same code fragments?
