A payload of 0x80 0x80 means that it's padding. It's not a good idea to
throw this away though, because of the cc_valid field.
According to CEA 10-B section 25.2.1, if cc_valid is zero, the run-in
clock and start bit should not be generated. In practice, this means
that any closed captions will be erased and the end-user TV will show
that captions are not available for this stream. This might have
undesired consequences, e.g. we were just showing a long line of
captions and we disable it before the user has had time to read it, or
you can't enable closed captions during silence/music intervals.
We cannot reliably detect whether there's a currently-silent closed
caption stream or just nothing, but we have this information coming from
upstream, so we can at least not discard it.

Depending on the exact output format, 0x00 may be a better default for
padding than 0x80. 0x00 is the recommended padding value when used in
CDP (and cc_data) but is not when used in s334-1a. See CTA-708-E 4.3.5
amd SMPTE 334-1-2007 5.3.2.

As specified in EIA/CEA-608-B section 8.4:
When closed captioning is used on line 21, field 2, it shall conform
to all of the applicable specifications and recommended practices as
defined for field 1 services with the following differences:
a) The non-printing character of the miscellaneous control-character pairs
that fall in the range of 14h, 20h to 14h, 2Fh in field 1, shall be replaced
with 15h, 20h to 15h, 2Fh when used in field 2.
b) The non-printing character of the miscellaneous control-character pairs
that fall in the range of 1Ch, 20h to 1Ch, 2Fh in field 1, shall be replaced
with 1Dh, 20h to 1Dh, 2Fh when used in field 2.
This means simply switching the "field" field in the caps isn't enough for
converting raw 608 from one field to another, some control codes also
need to be amended.
+ Adds simple test

Raw 608 caps can now contain a "field" field. On the input side it
signifies that the input raw 608 is attached to either field 0 or 1,
on the output side it allows selecting whether to extract the raw 608
data for field 0 or 1 for field-aware formats.
In addition, it is also allowed to use ccconverter to "convert" 608
field 0 to 608 field 1 (and conversely), this is passthrough as the
change only needs to happen in the caps.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/-/merge_requests/4031>
If an input is malformed (only produces cea608 field 1 cc_data) then
when in passthrough we would effectively be dropping every second cea608
on output as we would not store any unused cea608 data.
Fix by having all code paths go through the framerate conversion code
which will store and retrieve any relevant data across buffers.
