multiqueue: Add a pad property to "group" streams

When syncing by running time, multiqueue will throttle unlinked streams
based on a global "high-time" and the pending "next_time" of a stream.

The idea is that we don't want unlinked streams to be "behind" the global
running time of linked streams, so that if/when they get linked (like when
switching tracks) decoding/playback can resume from the same position as
the other streams.

The problem is that it assumes elements downstream will have a more or less
equal buffering/latency ... which isn't the case for streams of different
type. Video decoders tend to have higher latency (and therefore consume more
from upstream to output a given decoded frame) compared to audio ones, resulting
in the computed "high_time" being at the position of the video stream,
much further than the audio streams.

This means the unlinked audio streams end up being quite a bit after the linked
audio streams, resulting in gaps when switching streams.

In order to mitigate this issue, this patch adds a new "group-id" pad property
which allows users to "group" streams together. Calculating the high-time will
now be done not only globally, but also per group. This ensures that within
a given group unlinked streams will be throttled by that group's high-time
instead.

This fixes gaps when switching downstream elements (like switching audio tracks).
