Fix seeking with cache enabled on systems using fork(). The first data connection was opened at open time which happend in the main process. This prevented properly closing the connection on later seeks as they happend in the child process and the fd was still open in the parent process. The fix delay opening the data connection upon the first fill_buffer/seek. Also remove some code duplication, add a timeout on read from the control connection and a few other small fixes.
