It can be used to discard closed captions from the input pad if the
matching video buffer already held closed captions.
It is useful in a scenario where captions are generated for an AV
stream, but the incoming stream already has embedded captions for
some intervals, and those original captions should be preferred.
It can also be used to make sure input CC meta is always dropped,
the default behavior remains to append aggregated CC to whatever
CC meta was already present on the input video buffer

There was a potential busy loop occuring because when we were taking
data from the internal ccbuffer, we were not resetting which field had
written data. This would mean that the next time data was retrieved
from ccbuffer, it was always from field 0 and never from field 1.
This only affects usage of cc_buffer_take_separated() which is only used
by cdp->raw cea608.

Cea608 (valid) padding removal is available on the input side of ccconverter
or configurable on cccombiner. cccombiner can now configure whether
valid or invalid cea608 padding is used and for valid padding, how long
after valid non-padding to keep sending valid padding.

Sends a gap event if nothing to output for a given input buffer.
For example, an input buffer might not contain any caption data
for downstream requested field, then we need to inform downstream
of the case.

A payload of 0x80 0x80 means that it's padding. It's not a good idea to
throw this away though, because of the cc_valid field.
According to CEA 10-B section 25.2.1, if cc_valid is zero, the run-in
clock and start bit should not be generated. In practice, this means
that any closed captions will be erased and the end-user TV will show
that captions are not available for this stream. This might have
undesired consequences, e.g. we were just showing a long line of
captions and we disable it before the user has had time to read it, or
you can't enable closed captions during silence/music intervals.
We cannot reliably detect whether there's a currently-silent closed
caption stream or just nothing, but we have this information coming from
upstream, so we can at least not discard it.

Depending on the exact output format, 0x00 may be a better default for
padding than 0x80. 0x00 is the recommended padding value when used in
CDP (and cc_data) but is not when used in s334-1a. See CTA-708-E 4.3.5
amd SMPTE 334-1-2007 5.3.2.

As specified in EIA/CEA-608-B section 8.4:
When closed captioning is used on line 21, field 2, it shall conform
to all of the applicable specifications and recommended practices as
defined for field 1 services with the following differences:
a) The non-printing character of the miscellaneous control-character pairs
that fall in the range of 14h, 20h to 14h, 2Fh in field 1, shall be replaced
with 15h, 20h to 15h, 2Fh when used in field 2.
b) The non-printing character of the miscellaneous control-character pairs
that fall in the range of 1Ch, 20h to 1Ch, 2Fh in field 1, shall be replaced
with 1Dh, 20h to 1Dh, 2Fh when used in field 2.
This means simply switching the "field" field in the caps isn't enough for
converting raw 608 from one field to another, some control codes also
need to be amended.

The code wants to prepend one byte to every byte pair. It correctly did
so by working backwards pair-wise, but then didn't work backwards
instead of each individual pair / future triplet, overwriting
information before attempting to read it.
The code also failed to update the len pointer after prepending.
This fixes both issues.

Raw 608 caps can now contain a "field" field. On the input side it
signifies that the input raw 608 is attached to either field 0 or 1,
on the output side it allows selecting whether to extract the raw 608
data for field 0 or 1 for field-aware formats.
In addition, it is also allowed to use ccconverter to "convert" 608
field 0 to 608 field 1 (and conversely), this is passthrough as the
change only needs to happen in the caps.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/-/merge_requests/4031>
If an input is malformed (only produces cea608 field 1 cc_data) then
when in passthrough we would effectively be dropping every second cea608
on output as we would not store any unused cea608 data.
Fix by having all code paths go through the framerate conversion code
which will store and retrieve any relevant data across buffers.
