Password urlencoding in MythWeb

Description

Http basic auth passwords which are now embedded in the external music streaming URLs ([25375]), require urlencoding so that passwords with special characters (at least '@') would work. Attached patch has a fix for this.

This fixes streaming with WinAmp?, but it seems that xmms still doesn't like passwords with encoded special chars. As discussed in IRC, MythWeb might still need a setting which tells whether to embed the auth info to URLs or not.

I've tested this patch with only music streaming, not videos.
