hlsdemux causes a null pointer dereference if the media playlist
does not contain any media files. The gst_m3u8_client_get_duration
function assumes that demux->client->current->files is valid when
computing duration.
gst_m3u8_client_update needed to be modified to check for the
case of downloading an M3U8 file that doesn't contain any media
files, and returning an error to gsthlsdemux.c
This bug can be reproduced by creating a master m3u8 file that
contains one media playlist that points back to the master m3u8
file. For example create a file called bug725134.m3u8:
#EXTM3U
#EXT-X-VERSION:4
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=1, BANDWIDTH=1251135, CODECS="avc1.42001f mp4a.40.2", RESOLUTION=640x352
bug725134.m3u8
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=725134
hlsdemux does not check for the '"' character in #EXT-X-STREAM-INF
attributes. The CODECS parameter is an example of an attribute
that might use the '"' symbol and might contain a ',' character
inside this quoted string.
For example: CODECS="avc1.77.30, mp4a.40.2"
hlsdemux does not correctly parse the RESOLUTION attribute, it
assumes that an '=' character is used to delineate the width
and height values, but the HLS RFC states that a 'x' character
must be used as the delimiter between width and height.

...instead of adding them from the start of playlist every time. This
among other things fixes timestamps for live streams, where the playlist
is some kind of ringbuffer of fragments and thus adding from the beginning
of the playlist will miss the past fragments.

We now download fragments as fast as possible and push them downstream
while another thread is just responsible for updating live playlists
every now and then.
This simplifies the code a lot and together with the new buffering
mode for adaptive streams in multiqueue makes streams start much faster.
Also simplify threading a bit and hopefully make the GstTask usage safer.
And only afterwards wait until a fragment was played. Otherwise we're keeping
our cache most of the time at "fragments-cache" fragments minus one.
Also allow setting "fragments-cache" to 1 now to start playback even faster.
nettle is used by newer versions of gnutls, while older versions of gnutls
used libgcrypt. Support both for now as not every distro has nettle yet.
nettle is preferred as it is more efficient to use and much smaller.
It only gets the sink flag set when it adds the multifilesink, that
happens in null->ready and it might be too late. Set the flag
explicitly on the constructor.

This patch fixes three memory leaks in hlsdemux, one that occurs
during normal operation and two that occur during error conditions.
The gst_hls_demux_get_next_fragment function calls
gst_fragment_get_buffer which increments the reference count
on the buffer but gst_hls_demux_get_next_fragment never calls unref on
the buffer. This means that the reference count for each downloaded
fragment never gets to zero and so its memory is never released.
This patch adds a call to gst_buffer_unref after the flags have been
updated on the buffer.
There is a leak-on-error in gst_hls_demux_decrypt_fragment if it fails
to download the key file. If the key fails to download, null is
returned without doing an unref on the encrypted fragment. The
semantics of gst_hls_demux_decrypt_fragment is that it takes ownership
of the encrypted fragment and releases it before returning.
There is a leak-on-error in gst_hls_src_buf_to_utf8_playlist in the
unlikely event that the gst_buffer_map fails. In the "happy path"
operation of gst_hls_src_buf_to_utf8_playlist the buffer gets an unref
before the function returns, therefore the error condition must do the
same.

On some live HLS streams, gst_hls_demux_switch_playlist causes
assertion failures because it tried to dereference a NULL fragment.
This is because g_queue_peek_tail sometimes was returning NULL and
this case was not being checked.
This patch does two things:
* move the g_queue_peek_tail inside the semaphore protection
* check if q_queue_peek_tail returns NULL
