fix: escape media URLs in MPD (#1395)

Currently `media_info.media_file_url()` is not escaped when placed into
MPD for things like BaseURL. This for example breaks when trying to us a
file name that contains special characters like &. Since these are
supposed to be URLs let's URL encode them.

Fixes #1107
