Turns out AudioConvertHostTimeToNanos and AudioGetCurrentHostTime are macOS-only APIs, which prevents apps using
GStreamer on iOS from being accepted into App Store.
This commit replaces those functions with a manual version of what they do - mach_absolute_time() for the current time,
and data from mach_timebase_info() at the beginning to convert host timestamps to nanoseconds.

The `videosink` refernce in main() is a floating one, so it should not
be unref'ed (the playbin practically takes ownership of it).
This prevents a "gst_object_unref: assertion '((GObject *)
object)->ref_count > 0' failed" at runtime.

Using g_error() crashes the application, producing a coredump e.g. when
the user closes the video window, which can be confusing (especially on
the very first tutorial).
Let's change this to log the error message without crashing, using
g_printerr(), like subsequent tutorials.

To simplify the description, I'm assuming we only have two streams: video and audio.
For the video stream, we have the following events :
- STREAM_START => stream->wait set to true
- NEW_SEGMENT(1) => blocked waiting in gst_stream_synchronizer_wait
- FLUSH_START => unblocked
- FLUSH_STOP => stream->wait reset to false
- NEW_SEGMENT(2) => not waiting, since stream->wait is false
Then for the audio stream, we have the following events :
- STREAM_START => stream->wait set to true
- NEW_SEGMENT(2) => blocked waiting in gst_stream_synchronizer_wait for ever.
Note: The first NEW_SEGMENT event and the FLUSH_START, FLUSH_STOP events of the audio stream
are dropped before being received by the streamsynchronizer element, because the decodebin audio pad src
is not yet linked to the playsink audio pad sink.
To fix this deadlock, we don't reset stream->wait to false in the FLUSH_STOP event when it is not
waiting for the EOS of the other streams.

If we have constant duration buffers, set the duration on
outgoing buffers, like rtpmp4adepay does. This fixes
problems with (for example) muxers like mp4mux not writing
the duration of the final sample into the index.

_get_osfhandle() expects valid fd and CRT will abort program
if given paramerter is invalid. The fd can be invalidated
in various way, file was deleted by other process after
we open a file. To avoid it, our own exception
handler must be installed so that _get_osfhandle() can return
INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE if fd is invalid.

In some cases you want to ensure that a specific element factory is used
while requiring some specific caps but this was not possible. You can
now do `qtmux:video/x-prores,variant=standard|factory-name=avenc_prores_ks`
to ensure that the `avenc_prores_ks` factory is used to produce the
'standard' variant of prores video stream.
This also enhances a bit the documentation

The encoder can specify the a preferred_output_delay value to get better throughput
performance. The higher delay may get better HW performance, but it may increases
the encoder and pipeline latency.
When the output queue length is smaller than preferred_output_delay, the encoder
will not block to waiting for the encoding output. It will continue to prepare and
send more commands to GPU, which may improve the encoder throughput performance.

This counter is incremented once for every segment, meaning it would
e.g. overflow after 24 days when using 1ms segments. Once that happens,
completely wrong positions are reported and invalid memory is handed out
for writing/reading the next segments.
As the affected variables are unfortunately part of the public API of
the struct, a second set of variables is added together with accessor
functions and both variables are kept in sync for backwards
compatibility.
All existing users of the two variables are moved to the new ones but
external code might still run into the overflow.
This also slightly breaks API as external code updating the variables
will have no effect anymore but the only known user of this is
pulsesink.

If the muxer times out because of the latency deadline it can happen
that some pads have no caps yet. In that case skip creation of streams
for these pads and create updated section tables once the first buffer
arrives later.

This makes sure that for sparse streams (KLV, DVB subtitles, ...) the
muxer does not wait until the next buffer is available for them but
times out on the latency deadline and outputs data.
For non-live pipelines it will still be necessary for upstream to
correctly produce gap events for sparse streams.
