The goal of the "global" group-id is to fix new inputs that do not come from the
same "source" as others. In order to ensure all "current" streams have the same
group-id we distribute the first valid group-id to all streams.
This commit fixes two issues with that:
* When inputs are unlinked they weren't always properly resetted (it would only
work if parsebin is used, which is no longer the default in
uridecodebin3/playbin3).
* When computing the global group-id, take into account unset
group-id (i.e. GST_GROUP_ID_INVALID).

The number of expected pads was:
* Defaulting to 1
* Or being overriden by GST_MESSAGE_STREAMS_SELECTED
This fails if upstream isn't a selectable source and has multiple streams, and
would therefore cause failures with multi-stream gapless playback
Fixes#1672

It is quite possible to have the blocking probe called from different streaming
threads when all expected pads are present.
* Notify all waiters by using g_cond_broadcast instead of g_cond_signal
* Properly remove the probe after waiting

Using the "GstBin" flags to check if an adaptive demuxer is streams-aware isn't
a good idea since it prevents using elements which aren't bins.
Instead we see if a collection was posted by the demuxer by the time a pad is
added.

Make sure that group-id of a given play item are made consistent from the
start (sources) and all the way through the output.
This ensures that we can reliably detect that we have switched to the next play
item on the output of decodebin3 (and we can therefore properly free/release it)

When shutting down, we want to remove the urisourcebin blocking probes ... but
we also want to propagate a GST_FLOW_FLUSHING upstream (and not
GST_FLOW_NOT_LINKED) to make the upstream task gracefully stop instead of
posting an error message.

When `is_selection_done` is called, it checks that all the requested streams are
present in the active stream list ...
... except there could very well be a (about to be removed) stream from the
previous selection present.
Therefore filter the list of streams we add to the message by the streams which
are actually requested.
Fixes issues when switching between different stream types (ex: video-only to
audio-only).

This was the intention from the start, just took me a few years *cough* to
actually implement it properly.
Gapless is handled by re-using as much as possible the same decoders and sinks
if present, and only pre-rolling switching at the sources level (with buffering
if/when needed).
In order to enable "gapless" playback, the "next" uri should be set at any time
between the moment the `about-to-finish` signal is emitted and the moment the
current play item is done. Previously this could only be done with the signal
emission.
This new implementation also allows "Instantaneous URI switching". This allows a
much faster way of switching playback entries while re-using as many elements as
possible. To enable this set `instant-uri` property to TRUE, the default being
FALSE.

DecodebinInput (and their backing parsebin or identity) are no longer released
when the corresponding sinkpad is unlinked, but when it's released.
The parsebin element will be resetted:
* If incoming caps are incompatible (was the case before)
* Or when unlinking and it was previously pull-based
This opens the way to use decodebin3 with changing inputs (i.e. gapless)
Part-of: <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/-/merge_requests/2784>
Introduce the option to have the streams be parsed with `parsebin` for
compatible sources (i.e. which are eligible for buffering in the same way as
before this commit).
By parsing the inputs directly, this allows more accurate buffering control:
* Instead of relying on potential bitrate information coming from somewhere
* and *without* being linked downstream
If `parse-streams` is activated and the stream is eligible for buffering, then a
`multiqueue` will be used on the output of `parsebin` in order to handle the
buffering.

If the incoming streams are already parsed, there is no need to add yet-another
parsebin to process it *IF* that stream is compatible with a decoder or the
decodebin3 output caps.
This only applies if all the following conditions are met:
* The incoming stream can *NOT* do pull-based scheduling
* The incoming stream provides a `GstStream` and `GstStreamCollection`
* The caps are compatible with either the decodebin3 output caps or a decoder
input
If all those conditions are met, a identity element is used instead of a
parsebin element and the same code paths are taken.

* Instead of creating temporary `PendingPad` structures, always create a
DecodebinInputStream for every pad of parsebin
* Remove never used `pending_stream` field from DecodebinInputStream
* When unblocking a given DecodebinInput (i.e. wrapping a parsebin), also make
sure that other parsebins from the same GstStreamCollection are unblocked
since they come from the same source
