hlsdemux causes a null pointer dereference if the media playlist
does not contain any media files. The gst_m3u8_client_get_duration
function assumes that demux->client->current->files is valid when
computing duration.
gst_m3u8_client_update needed to be modified to check for the
case of downloading an M3U8 file that doesn't contain any media
files, and returning an error to gsthlsdemux.c
This bug can be reproduced by creating a master m3u8 file that
contains one media playlist that points back to the master m3u8
file. For example create a file called bug725134.m3u8:
#EXTM3U
#EXT-X-VERSION:4
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=1, BANDWIDTH=1251135, CODECS="avc1.42001f mp4a.40.2", RESOLUTION=640x352
bug725134.m3u8
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=725134
hlsdemux does not check for the '"' character in #EXT-X-STREAM-INF
attributes. The CODECS parameter is an example of an attribute
that might use the '"' symbol and might contain a ',' character
inside this quoted string.
For example: CODECS="avc1.77.30, mp4a.40.2"
hlsdemux does not correctly parse the RESOLUTION attribute, it
assumes that an '=' character is used to delineate the width
and height values, but the HLS RFC states that a 'x' character
must be used as the delimiter between width and height.

...instead of adding them from the start of playlist every time. This
among other things fixes timestamps for live streams, where the playlist
is some kind of ringbuffer of fragments and thus adding from the beginning
of the playlist will miss the past fragments.

We now download fragments as fast as possible and push them downstream
while another thread is just responsible for updating live playlists
every now and then.
This simplifies the code a lot and together with the new buffering
mode for adaptive streams in multiqueue makes streams start much faster.
Also simplify threading a bit and hopefully make the GstTask usage safer.
Incorrect time scaling in gst_dash_demux_wait_for_fragment_to_be_available()
means that media segments are fetched before their availablity time. This
patch fixes this.

demux->last_manifest_update is not initialised at startup, with the
effect that live manifests are reloaded immediately after the download
loop begins. This patch fixes this.

And only afterwards wait until a fragment was played. Otherwise we're keeping
our cache most of the time at "fragments-cache" fragments minus one.
Also allow setting "fragments-cache" to 1 now to start playback even faster.
Use glib to get a list of system "share" directories, then go through that
list, appending 'sounds/sf2/' to each directory to get a soundfont directory,
and looking for .sf2 files there.
This way fluiddec is able to load sf2 files on W32, because otherwise the
path '/usr/share/sounds/sf2' makes no sense there.
Fixes#724013
nettle is used by newer versions of gnutls, while older versions of gnutls
used libgcrypt. Support both for now as not every distro has nettle yet.
nettle is preferred as it is more efficient to use and much smaller.
