[rtmpdump] add alive check for paused stream for rtmpsuck

Another segmentation fault (null pointer deref) on server->rc.m_channelTimestamp access and lead to a crash.
The video source was suddenly paused before the crash.

I found the only place to free this variable is at  CloseInternal() in librtmp/rtmp.c,
so this null pointer means CloseInternal() was called before the access to server->rc.m_channelTimestamp.
I think the patch attached, which checks RTMP_IsConnected(&server->rc) is the correct fix to handle this issue.
