When calculating the seek range for a live stream, use the same hold-back logic
as when choosing a starting segment, including low-latency segments if
enabled. Permits seeking closer to the live edge when re-synching or catching
up.

When playing a live stream, make the recommended buffering threshold at most the
hold-back distance from live. If we start 3 seconds from the live edge, there's
no point trying to buffer more - we'll just hit the live edge and have to wait
for more data to be available anyway.

Add a flag to hlsdemux to enable or disable LL-HLS handling.
When LL-HLS is enabled and an LL-HLS playlist is loaded, use the part-hold-back
threshold to choose a starting segment.
For live streams that aren't LL-HLS, use the provided hold-back attribute, or
fall back to landing 3 segments from the end.
Make the gst_hls_media_playlist_seek() method able to choose a partial segment
within 2 target durations of the end of the playlist when requested.

Fix an off-by-one in gst_hls_media_playlist_sync_to_playlist() that would ignore
the first fragment in the reference playlist. The error was harmless, since we
expect the reference playlist to be older than the playlist we're
synchronising (so the first/oldest segment in the reference playlist will likely
not exist in the new playlist), so this is just for correctness.
Also fix a segment leak in gst_hls_media_playlist_advance_fragment() when
ignoring the partial_only segment.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/-/merge_requests/3883>
Add a function for synchronising current position with the contents of a
playlist that is specifically for that and can handle synchronising to a partial
segment.
gst_hls_media_playlist_seek() will be used only when performing external seek
requests, to find the best segment or partial segment at which to resume
playback.

When matching segments across playlists with Program-Date-Times,
use the difference in segment PDTs to adjust the stream time
that's being transferred. This can fix cases where the
segment boundaries don't align across different streams
and the first download gets thrown away once the PTS
is seen and found not to match.

Previously the minimum buffering threshold was hardcoded to a specific
value (10s). This is suboptimal this an actual value will depend on the actual
stream being played.
This commit sets the low watermark threshold in time to 0, which is an automatic
mode. Subclasses can provide a stream `recommended_buffering_threshold` when
update_stream_info() is called.
Currently implemented for HLS, where we recommended 1.5 average segment
duration. This will result in buffering being at 100% when the 2nd segment has
been downloaded (minus a bit already being consumed downstream)

When updating playlists, there is a possibility that the playlists don't
perfectly align, but the last entry of the previous playlist is *just* before
the first entry of the new playlist.
In those cases, we still can transfer the timing information from one playlist
to another, but we do not want to return that segment as being the matching one.

If we have been updating too slowly and have gone out of the current live
window, inform the baseclass accordingly.
This is different from the case where we have been updating quicker than what
the server provides.

Uses prelude header files with #defines to rename DASH and MSS
symbols duplicated in their old standalone versions.
Also redefines soup-related functions when building it for
adaptivedemux2 to prevent symbol conflicts there.

RFC 8216 6.3.3 "Playing the Media Playlist File" : states that for live media
playlists "the client SHOULD NOT choose a segment that starts less than three
target durations from the end of the Playlist file"
This is an off-by-one error. Since we are looking for the "index" of the
segment, we need to subtract 1 from the searched position.
Ex: For a playlist with 12 entries, we want to start playback on the 9th segment
... which is at index 8.

This provides new HLS, DASH and MSS adaptive demuxer elements as a single plugin.
These elements offer many improvements over the legacy elements. They will only
work within a streams-aware context (`urisourcebin`, `uridecodebin3`,
`decodebin3`, `playbin3`, ...).
Stream selection and buffering is handled internally, this allows them to
directly manage the elementary streams and stream selection.
