502e995677 musepack: Prefer using FFmpeg musepack decoder/demuxer
* Bump the rank of the musepack v7/v8 FFmpeg demuxers to SECONDARY
* Bump the rank of the musepack v7/v8 FFmpeg audio decoders to SECONDARY
* Demote the rank of the musepackdec element to MARGINAL

This is for two reasons:
* The musepack library is no longer maintained, whereas the FFmpeg
  implementation can/will receive fixes
* The `musepackdec` implementation was a all-in-one "parsing and decoding" blob
  which doesn't play nicely with decodebin3 and others

0812c753c6 gst-libav: Fix synchronization issues and errors created by the forwarding of
segment events by demuxer.

In order to play nicely with `ffmpeg`, demuxers in `gst-libav` have to make
buffers available to `ffmpeg` while taking the blocking I/O model in `ffmpeg`
into account, which results in buffers not being sent downstream until `ffmpeg`
has processed them in its separate thread.

In constrast, many `gstreamer` events are simply forwarded downstream.
Currently `GST_EVENT_SEGMENT` events are forwarded downstream without any
processing, which can potentially result in:
 * `GST_EVENT_SEGMENT` events being out of sync with buffers
 * `GST_EVENT_SEGMENT` events going out that are incorrect because they apply
   to data seen by the demuxer, but not necessarily seen by downstream elements

I came across this bug when I was attempting to enable G723.1 demuxing/decoding
using the G723.1 demuxer and decoder provided by `ffmpeg`.  I wrote tests to
verify support for the functionality, and found that, in push mode,
`GST_EVENT_SEGMENT` events pushed to the demuxer by the upstream `filesrc`
element would be forwarded to the decoder without modification, resulting in
an internal data streaming error.  With this patch, tests work in both push and
pull mode.

This patch solves the problem by disabling the forwarding of
`GST_EVENT_SEGMENT` events downstream (an initial `GST_EVENT_SEGMENT` event is
still pushed downstream by the demuxer).  It's possible there's a better way to
do this, but, having looked at how a few different `gstreamer` demuxers deal
with `GST_EVENT_SEGMENT` events, it seems like the processing is somewhat
specific to the demuxer implementation, whereas `gst-libav` has one general way
of handling the situation for any `ffmpeg` demuxer.  Perhaps there's a better
way to solve this using the `ffmpeg` API to take advantage of specific demuxer
details.  IDK.
