The duration values in playlists are approximate only, and for
playlist versions 2 and older they are only rounded integer values.
They cannot be used to timestamp buffers. This resulted in playback
gaps and skips because the actual duration of fragments is slightly
different. The solution is to only set the pts of the very first
buffer processed, not for each fragment.
In gst_hls_demux_get_next_fragment() the next fragment URI gets
stored in next_fragment_uri, but the gst_hls_demux_updates_loop()
can at any time update the playlist, rendering this string invalid.
Therefore, any data (like key, iv, URIs) that is taken from a
GstM3U8Client needs to be copied. In addition, accessing the
internals of a GstM3U8Client requires locking.

If EOS or ERROR happens before the download loop thread has reached its
g_cond_wait() call, then the g_cond_signal doesn't have any effect and
the download loop thread stucks later.

Only reset the decryption engine on the first buffer of a fragment,
not again for the second buffer. This fixes corrupting the second
buffer of a fragment.

hlsdemux can't rely on the source to push flushes on a seek on ready
as that might not make sense. So always resort to flushing the
internal proxy pads by pushing flush events from the source's src pad.
Also as the seeking is not required anymore, only seek if there is
really a byte range to be used. And store a ref to the source's
src pad to avoid doing get_static_pad for every fragment.
Set up a message handling function to catch errors from the internal
source and store the last return code to identify error situations
when returning from a fragment download.
Also moves the duration increase to after the download when we
know if it was successful or not
When using the internal source, hlsdemux doesn't know the caps of
the input before adding the pad, so remove the arguments that would
use that as it is always NULL.
And use an specific flag to signal when a pad switch is required.
Using the discont flag is a bad idea now because when a fragment
download fails it will lead to exposing a pad group without any
data, causing decodebin to abort.
When receving EOS from the internal src, increase the current positon
by the fragment duration to allow correct restoring of download position
if the bitrate changes
Measure the download bitrate to be able to select
the best playlist.
As the buffers are directly pushed downstream and it
might block. The time is only measured from the download
until the pad push and it is started again after the push
returns.
Now the decryption is done buffer by buffer instead of on the
whole fragment at once. As it expects multiples of 16 bytes a
GstAdapter was added to properly chunk the buffers.
Also the last buffer must be resized depending on the value of the
last byte of the fragment, so hlsdemux always keeps a pending buffer
as it doesn't know if it is the last one yet
The GstElement is directly linked into a ghost pad and
its buffers are pushed as received downstream. This way the
buffers are small enough and not a whole fragment that usually
causes extra latency and makes buffering harder
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.
