The old code was using gst_caps_normalize() and was generally overly
complex. Simplify by picking sample rate and number of channels from
upstream and the sample format from the allowed caps. If the format caps
is a list of strins, just pick the first one. And if the srcpad isn't
linked yet, use the default format (S16).

Optimize loop by moving condition outside of it and reuse the
find_next_fragment function to check if there is next instead of
replicating the same loop
Duration queries can be done a few times per second and would cause
the segment list to be traversed for every one. Caching the duration
prevents that.
Variable hands is already checked to contain a value previously at the beginning
of the current block (in line 504). There is no need to check again. This is
logically dead code.

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.
q->bitrate is a guint64, but G_TYPE_INT may read fewer bits
off the stack, and if we pass more then the NULL sentinel
may not be found at the right place, which in turn might
lead to crashes.

hlsdemux assumes that seeking is not allowed for live streams,
however seek is possible if there are sufficient fragments in the
manifest. For example the BBC have live streams that contain 2 hours
of fragments.
The seek code for both live and on-demand is common code. The
difference between them is that an offset has to be calculated
for the timecode of the first fragment in the live playlist.
When hlsdemux starts to play a live stream, the possible seek range
is between 0 and A seconds. After some time has passed, the beginning of
the stream will no longer be available in the playlist and the seek
range is between B and C seconds.
Seek range:
start 0 ........... A
later B ........... C
This commit adds code to keep a note of the B and C values
and the highest sequence number it has seen. Every time it updates the
media playlist, it walks the list of fragments, seeing if there is a
fragment with sequence number > highest_seen_sequence. If so, the values
of B and C are updated. The value of B is used when timestamping
buffers.
It also makes sure the seek range is never closer than three fragments
from the end of the playlist - see 6.3.3. "Playing the Playlist file"
of the HLS draft.

For small amounts some data might be mistyped and it would cause
the pipeline to fail. For example if you have AAC inside mpegts,
for small amounts, the AAC samples would cause the typefinder to
think it is AAC and not mpegts.

If typefind fails, check to see if the buffer is too short for typefind. If this is the case,
prepend the decrypted buffer to the pending buffer and try again the next time around.

Corrected the final boundary mechanism so that a final boundary is
added to each mail with multipart content that is sent,
not just to the last one.

This reverts commit 15394aa705.
The latest release (v1.1) does not have pkg-config support
yet, so this plugin won't be built with the latest release.
Cerbero uses the latest release, so this makes cerbero
builds fail, which expect the plugin to be built.
We can re-commit this once there's a release that includes
pkg-config support.
Rework reverse fragment traversing with repetition fields to prevent
NULL pointer deref and avoid never advancing a fragment as the variable
is unsigned and would always be non-negative.

Read the "r" attribute from fragments to support fragments nodes
that use repetition to have a shorter Manifest xml.
Instead of doing:
<c d="100" />
<c d="100" />
You can use:
<c d="100" r="2" />
According to the HLS spec the remainder of the line following
the comma on EXTINF tag is not required. This patch removes
the fake title and saves some bytes on the playlist.
