The problem is that the filesrc and souphttpsrc are behaving
differently regarding the calculation of the segment boundaries. The
filesrc is using a non-inclusive boundaries, while the souphttpsrc
uses inclusive. Currently the hlsdemux calculates the boundaries as
inclusive, so for this reason there is no problem with the souphttpsrc,
but there is an issue in the filesrc.
The GstSegment is non-inclusive, so the proposed solution is to use
non-inclusive boundaries in the hlsdemux in order to be consistent.
Make the change in the hlsdemux, will break the souphttpsrc, which
will expect inclusive boundaries, but the hlsdemux will offer
non-inclusive. This change makes sure that the non-inclusive
boundaries are converted to inclusive.

To allow souphttpsrc to be use HTTP methods other than GET
(e.g. HEAD), add a "method" property that is a string. If this
property is not set, GET is used.

1) If the system http_proxy environment variable is not set
or set to an empty string, we must not set proxy to avoid
http connection error.
2) In case of proxy property setting, if user want to clear
the proxy setting, they should be able to set it to NULL or
an empty string again, so this is fixed too.
3) Check if the proxy string was parsed correctly.

basesrc assumes that we don't return a buffer if
something else than OK is returned. It will just
leak any buffer we might accidentially provide
here.
This can potentially happen during flushing.

When we cancel connection attempts and similar things, there are still
some operations pending on our main context from the GCancellables. We
should let them all run before unreffing our context, otherwise we leak
file descriptors.
Unfortunately this requires libsoup 2.47.0 or newer as earlier versions
steal our main context from us and we can't use it for cleanup later
without assertions and funny crashes.

If nothing happens after 15 seconds, chances are good that
our connection will never will work. Stop after 15 seconds
instead of waiting until the system's default timeout, which
can be > 1 minute.
Only return EOS the next time create() is called, if at all. basesrc
should already take care of not calling it again.
Also always return immediately if the previous flow return was
not OK. This indicates an error somewhere.
Commit 46fd12ae5e introduced connection
recovery. But when server does not specify content-size,
souphttpsrc tries to reconnect even after regular end of stream.
Http server replies with SOUP_STATUS_REQUESTED_RANGE_NOT_SATISFIABLE
but souphttpsrc still emits error instead of EOS.

We want to notice ourselves that we're EOS. Otherwise we will
always cancel requests in the very end and confuse the server...
and also make it impossible to use persistent connections.
If the pipeline is stalled for too long, souphttpsrc will block and
stop fetching data from the network. This can cause the connection to
drop and souphttpsrc would handle it as an EOS. This patch makes it
persist and try to fetch more data until the end of the content length
or until receiving an error that it is beyong limits in case the content
is unknown.

The HTTP server could give wrong information, e.g. if the HTTP stream is
chunk-encoded or compressed, or if the server does not know the complete size
at the time when the file is requested by the client.
