Subject: [PATCH] whisper : fix incorrect timestamps, usually near silences
 (#2279)

* Incorrect timetstamps

Fixes #2271

- Adds consecutive timestamps after end of last segment as the new starting ts
- Add these timestamp to output when "print-special" enabled
- Fixes fflush usage in live reporting

I was not able to test this with the special "token_timestamps" option.

* Skip initial timestamp
