Set up a message handling function to be able to catch errors
from the source element and signal the cond to allow the download
loop to retry the download.
Instead, use a source element linked to a ghostpad to provide
smaller buffers and more granular control for downstream
buffering elements while also reducing startup latency
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.

Remove the dashdemux seeking function to use the one implemented
in mpdparser as it is more complete. This also makes dashdemux not
crash when seeking on streams that use segment templates.
Download and push from the same task, makes code a lot simpler
to maintain. Also pushing from separate threads avoids deadlocking
when gst_pad_push blocks due to downstream queues being full.
Use a single lock for all streams instead of having separate locks.
This makes maintenance easier and at most points we would need
a single lock before iterating on all streams data. So not much
is gained from individual locks.
Make dash playlists with multiple periods work again by waiting
to switch the periods when all streams have reached the end of
the current period. The stream_loop is responsible for advancing
the period, but the download loops will already start downloading
data for the next period as soon as possible.
Handle multiple languages by using the not-linked return to stop
the download task for that stream. It can be reactivated when
a reconfigure event is received. Stopping the unused streams is
relevant to save network bandwidth
Instead of having a single download task for all streams, this
commit makes each stream have its own download loop, allowing
parallel download of fragments.
always expose all streams instead of only exposing one of each type.
This is more aligned with gstreamer's way of working. Allows the user
to select the stream that it wants to use by linking its pad and leaving
the unused ones as unlinked.
Fixed up the error-handling code when downloading fragments.
Modifed the error-handling code to use positive logic when
testing for cancellation of the download loop.

There is an issue for live streams where download_loop will keep
downloading segments until it gets a 404 error for a segment
that has not yet been published. This is a problem because this
request for a segment that doesn't exist will propagate all the
way back to the origin server(s). This means that dashdemux causes
extra load on the origin server(s) for segments that aren't yet
available.
This patch uses availabilityStartTime, period
and the host's idea of UTC to decide if a fragment is available to
be requested from an HTTP server and filter out requests for fragments
that are not yet available.

This prevents deadlocks on startup on files that have only a very
large buffer for a stream and the queue is filled and will lock on
the eos event that is pushed after the buffer. As no buffers have yet
been pushed to other streams, the pipeline locks on preroll
During a live stream it is possible for dashdemux to lag behind on a
slow connection or to rush ahead of the connection os too fast.
For the first case it is necessary to jump some segments ahead to be able to
continue playback as old segments are usually deleted from the server.
For the later, dashdemux should wait a little before attempting another
download do give time to the server to produce a new segment
Replaces the 2 likely larger lists with more appropriate structures
to improve performance.
Replaces S nodes GList for a GQueue, this reduces latency to startup
because of traversing the list just append an element.
Replaces the processed media segments GList for a GPtrArray as it is
constantly acessed by index during playback.
