When dealing with demuxers which aren't streams-aware, we need to handle the
old-school "stream replacement" dance from `parsebin` and hide that in such a
way that output pads are re-used (if compatible).
By analyzing the collection posted by parsebin, we can:
* Identify whether some output slots are no longer used (because the stream they
currently handle is not present in the collection)
* Decide if some upcoming streams could re-use the existing slot
This supports both buffering and non-buffering modes.

Update connection-speed at runtime in playbin, uridecodebin and decodebin
also do the same thing in urisourcebin.

rebase on mono-repo).

Generating the source element is done when urisourcebin is doing the READY to
PAUSED state change, so it is reasonable to set the new source element to that
state.
This also allows detecting early failures with backing libraries or
hardware (checks done in NULL->READY).
Finally it makes more sense to have an element in READY when attempting to query
information from it (such as SCHEDULING queries or probing live-ness).

If sticky events are present on parsebin source pads, we propagate them to the
multiqueue source pads. Those will be propagated on the new urisourcebin source
pads like in the other code paths.
This ensures that STREAM_START event are present on new source pads. If CAPS
event are also present (not guaranteed), they will also be available.

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.

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.
API: `parse-streams`

Make an explicit topology/tree of structures:
* ChildSrcPadInfo is created for each source element source pad
* ChildSrcPadInfo contains the chain of optional elements specific to that
pad (ex: typefind)
* A ChildSrcPadInfo links to one or more OutputSlot, which contain what is
specific to the output (i.e. optional buffering and ghostpad)
* No longer use GObject {set|get}_data() functions to store those structures and
instead make them explicit
* Pass those structures around explicitely in each function/callback

The following problem could happen:
* Thread 1 : urisourcebin gets activated from READY->PAUSED
* Thread 2 : some element causes a pad to be added to urisourcebin , which gets
linked downstream, which decides to activate upstream to pull-based.
* That requires "activating" the pads from PUSH to NONE, and then from NONE to PULL
* Thread 1 : the base class state change handlers checks if all pads are
activated
The issue is that since going form PUSH to PULL requires going through NONE,
there is a window during which:
* Thread 1 : The pad was set to NONE (before being set to PULL)
* Thread 2 : The base class activates that pad (to PUSH)
* Thread 1 : The attempt to "activate" to PULL fails (silently or not)
This is very racy, so in order to avoid that, we make sure that we only add pads
once the transition from READY->PAUSED in the parent classes is done.

GLib guarantees libintl is always present, using proxy-libintl as
last resort. There is no need to mock gettex API any more.
This fix static build on Windows because G_INTL_STATIC_COMPILATION must
be defined before including libintl.h, and glib does it for us as part
as including glib.h.

Sources that can internally handle buffering shouldn't have yet-another
buffering element after it. This can be simply detected by checking if it can
answer a TIME BUFFERING query just after creation.
If that is the case, we can expose the element source pads directly
