When collection is updated, decodebin3 exposes pad first and then
streams-selected message is posted.
The condition can cause a situation where playbin3 links non-existing
combiner/playsink pads (since streams-selected is not posted yet) with
new decodebin output pad. This commit will re-check selected/active
streams condition on pad-added and reconfigure output if needed.

zlib is required, and if it isn't found it is checked several ways and
then forced via subproject(). This code was added in commit
b93e37592a, to account for systems where
zlib doesn't have pkg-config files installed.
But Meson already does dependency fallback, and also, since 0.54.0, does
the in-between checks for find_library('z') and has_header('zlib.h') via
the "system" type dependency. Simplify dependency lookup by marking it
as required, which also makes sure that the console log doesn't
confusingly list "not found".

It is valid to have the padding set to 1 on the first packet and it
happens very often from TWCC packets coming from libwebrtc. This means
that we were totally ignoring many TWCC packets.
Fix test that checked that a first packet with padding was not valid and
instead test a single twcc packet with padding to check precisely what
this patch was about.

Background:
Whenever a caps event is received by appsink, the caps are stored in the
same internal queue as buffers. Only when enough buffers have been
popped from the queue to reach the caps, `priv->sample` gets its caps
updated to match, so that they are correct for the following buffers.
Note that as far as upstream elements are concerned, the caps of appsink
are updated immediately when the CAPS event is sent. Samples pulled from
appsink retain the old caps until a later buffer -- one that was sent by
upstream elements after the new caps -- is pulled.
The race condition:
When a flush is received, appsink clears the entire internal queue. The
caps of `priv->sample` are not updated as part of this process, and
instead remain as those of the sample that was last pulled by the user.
This leaves open a race condition where:
1. Upstream sends a new caps event, and possibly some buffers for the
new caps.
2. Upstream sends a flush (possibly from a different thread).
3. Upstream sends a new buffer for the new caps. Since as far as
upstream is concerned, appsink caps are the new caps already, no new
CAPS event is sent.
4. The appsink user pulls a sample, having not pulled before enough
samples to reach the buffers sent in step 1.
Bug: the pulled sample has the old caps instead of the new caps.
Fixing the race condition:
To avoid this problem, when a buffer is received after a flush,
`priv->sample`'s caps should be updated with the current caps before the
buffer is added to the internal queue.
Interestingly, before this patch, appsink already had code for this, in
gst_app_sink_render_common():
/* queue holding caps event might have been FLUSHed,
* but caps state still present in pad caps */
if (G_UNLIKELY (!priv->last_caps &&
gst_pad_has_current_caps (GST_BASE_SINK_PAD (psink)))) {
priv->last_caps = gst_pad_get_current_caps (GST_BASE_SINK_PAD (psink));
gst_sample_set_caps (priv->sample, priv->last_caps);
GST_DEBUG_OBJECT (appsink, "activating pad caps %" GST_PTR_FORMAT,
priv->last_caps);
}
This code assumes `priv->last_caps` is reset when a flush is received,
which makes sense, but unfortunately, there was no code in the flush
code path resetting it.
This patch adds such code, therefore fixing the race condition. A unit
test demonstrating the bug and testing its behavior with the fix has
also been added.

gst_value_serialize() does more than what's needed to printf-ing
especially when given GValue is already string. Just print string
value as-is without gst_value_serialize() to avoid unreadable
string print, especially for multi-bytes character encoding cases.

If a file includes a new version of a plugin that exits in the
registry, the output of gst-inspect is incorrect. The output has the
correct version but incorrect filename, and element description.
This seems to have also fixed some documentation issues.

The decision to store the input buffer depends on whether extensions
are to be added to the output buffer, I assume as an optimization.
This creates an issue for subclasses that call negotiate(), where
header_exts is actually populated, from their handle_buffer()
implementation: at chain time, no header extension has been negotiated
yet, which means that we don't add extensions to the first batch of
buffers that comes out.
Keep track of whether negotiate has been called (this is different
from the negotiated field) and always store the input buffer until
then. This fixes the issue while largely preserving the optimization.

Fixing this pipeline:
gst-launch-1.0 filesrc location=sample.png ! pngdec ! videorate ! fakesink
- videorate receives a single buffer with pts = 0, duration = invalid;
- then it receives eos triggering this buffer to be pushed downstream;
- the pushing code was assuming that a duration was set, which is
impossible as we received a single buffer and no output framerate was
set either. So the best we can do is to push the buffer without
duration.

Don't reconfigure outputs when the select-streams
event is sent from the app, as the selection may
not take effect for some time. Instead, wait
for the pipeline to confirm the new set of
selected streams when it sends the message.

If we previously had subtitles coming in, the video
may be chained through a text overlay block. Before,
the code would end up trying to link pads that were
already linked and video would not get reconnected
properly.
To fix that, make sure that the candidate
pads are actually unlinked first. If a textoverlay
is present and no longer needed, it will be cleaned
up later in the reconfiguration sequence.

Make sure that the requested stream selection isn't identical to the current
one. If that's the case, just carry on as usual.
This avoids multiple `streams-selected` posting ... when the selection didn't
change.

timeapi.h is missing in our MinGW toolchain. Include mmsystem.h
header instead, which defines struct and APIs in case of our MinGW
toolchain. Note that in case of native Windows10 SDK (MSVC build),
mmsystem.h will include timeapi.h

The documentation could be read to mean that the caller continuous to
'own' the buffer, and that there is some other mechanism to find out
when to unref it.
Clarify that "not taking ownership" here means "taking a reference",
and specify that you can unref it at any time after calling the
function.
