The -hls_allow_cache parameter enables explicitly setting the
EXT-X-ALLOW-CACHE tag in the manifest file. That tag indicates
whether the client MAY or MUST NOT cache downloaded media
segments for later replay.

Valid values are 1 (=YES) or 0 (=NO) and the EXT-X-ALLOW-CACHE
will not show in the manifest for other values (or if
-hls_allow_cache is not used.
