A pipeline always has an async bus, which involves allocating an fd pair. As
splitmuxsrc only uses the bus' sync handler, this is not required and can easily
cause splitmuxsrc to exceed the fd limit for no good reason.
The other features of GstPipeline are also not needed here, e.g. clock selection.

Add a `num-lookahead` property that will 'prepare' a number of
fragments in advance of the playhead if they have been deactivated
or closed by a limited number of `num-open-fragments`. It can help
to avoid any play stalls reading the indexes or headers of the next
file from high-latency media or on resource limited machines.

When calculating the timestamp offset to apply to
media streams in a fragment, ensure that all fragments
are offset "together" to preserve alignment in cases
where there might gaps in a recording at a fragment boundary.

Add a signal that allows adding fragments with a specific offset
and duration directly to splitmuxsrc's list. By providing the
fragment's offset on the playback timeline and duration directly,
splitmuxsrc doesn't need to measure the fragment making for faster
startup times.
Add a bus message that's published when fragments are measured,
reporting the offset and duration, so they can be cached by an
application and used on future invocations.
Add examples for handling the bus message and using the 'add-fragment'
signal.

Add a property to limit the number of parts splitmux will open
simultaneously. Modify the part handling to support deactivating
and reactivating the demuxing for each part.
The default is '0', to preserve the existing behaviour of opening
all parts at the beginning.
