gst/rtpmanager/gstrtpjitterbuffer.c: When checking the seqnum, reset the jitterbuffer if the gap is too big, we need ...

Original commit message from CVS:
* gst/rtpmanager/gstrtpjitterbuffer.c:
(gst_rtp_jitter_buffer_chain), (gst_rtp_jitter_buffer_loop):
When checking the seqnum, reset the jitterbuffer if the gap is too big,
we need to do this so that we can better handle a restarted source.
Fix some comments.
* gst/rtpmanager/rtpjitterbuffer.c: (calculate_skew),
(rtp_jitter_buffer_insert):
Tweak the skew resync diff.
Use our working seqnum compare function in -base.
Rework the jitterbuffer insert code to make it clearer and more
performant by only retrieving the seqnum of the input buffer once and by
adding some G_LIKELY compiler hints.
Improve debugging for duplicate packets.
* gst/rtpmanager/rtpsource.c: (rtp_source_process_rtp):
Fix a comment, we don't do skew correction here..
