Use new ringbuffer ERROR state to make all the various
threads bail out correctly when the subclass posts an
error. It's a bit iffy to communicate this properly
between the different bits of code.

In SKEW mode, use next_sample == -1 to check for the first sample
when starting to read samples so it resyncs the ringbuffer and
timestamps are ok.

Only provide a clock when we are not flushing, this means that we have posted a
PROVIDE_CLOCK message. We used to check if we were acquired but that doesn't
work anymore now that we do the negotiation async in the streaming thread: it's
possible that we are still negotiating when the pipeline asks us for a clock.
Make it possible for subclasses to provide the timestamp (as an absolute time
against the pipeline clock) of the last read data.
Fix up alsa to provide the timestamp received from alsa. Because the alsa
timestamps are in monotonic time, we can only do this when the monotonic clock
has been selected as the pipeline clock.
