Short-circuit parsing and recreating the playlist URI if
no HLS directives are going to be applied to it.
Fixes problems playing some streams (YouTube) that have
unneeded escaped characters in the URI and then complain
when GStreamer removes the escaping

Makes "start-bitrate" work without setting "connection-speed" property. Having
another property set as a requirement for this one to work is unexpected.
This commit allows to request some initial bitrate for first segment, then
go into adaptive streaming for the rest of media playback.

The live playlists should be updated at a defined interval. The problem is that
this interval was used *after* the playlist was finally received and processed,
which resulted in a gradual shift happening in playlist updates.
Instead store and use the time at which playlists were requested to determine
when the next one should be downloaded.

The scanning is done in a reverse order, the proper full checks to do are
therefore:
* If the position is beyond half a "segment duration", it's in the following
segment
* If the position is within the first half of a segment, it's in that one
* If the segment is the first one and the position is within half a duration
backwards, we consider the position as being within that first segment
Also handle the case where a "partial only" segment doesn't have a reliable
duration, and therefore use the playlist target duration instead.

The implementation wouldn't work with regular HLS streams (i.e. the final
fallback).
Now that the implementation uses time to search for the starting
segment (instead of just the n-th from the end), we can specify the correct
hold_back fallback value from the RFC

Avoid a deadlock if a downstream seeking query happens while the scheduler
thread is holding the manifest lock (for example during a seek back to live).
Instead, do a more elaborate fix where the external calls that need access to a
'manifest' access a copy that's updated during a manually triggered manifest
update callback.

When calculating the seek range for a live stream, use the same hold-back logic
as when choosing a starting segment, including low-latency segments if
enabled. Permits seeking closer to the live edge when re-synching or catching
up.

gst_hls_demux_stream_has_next_fragment() can be called with a NULL
current_segment if we're past the end of the current playlist. In that case,
just return FALSE instead of hitting a critical in the playlist code.

When playing LL-HLS playlists in LL-HLS mode, update the playlist more often (on
the partial segment interval) or else we end up downloading them in bursts and
playing further from the live edge than intended.

When playing a live stream, make the recommended buffering threshold at most the
hold-back distance from live. If we start 3 seconds from the live edge, there's
no point trying to buffer more - we'll just hit the live edge and have to wait
for more data to be available anyway.

After cancelling a DownloadRequest, the download helper may not do so
immediately, so we can't assert on the in_use flag. Also, since there's no
refcount on the preload hint struct in the download request callback data, make
sure no callbacks will be dispatched when we're going to free the preload hint
struct.

Implement fulfilment of HTTP requests from the active preload downloads by
finding any preload request that can provide the requested data and feeding
bytes from the internal DownloadRequest to the caller provided target
DownloadRequest.
Doesn't yet calculate timestamps to make the target request have a sensible
apparent bitrate.
