a08dd85608 hlsdemux: select correct starting position for live streams
When playing live HLS streams, the media playback starts from the
beginning of the media playlist. When playing a live HLS stream,
media playback should start from 3 fragments from the end of the
playlist.

See section 6.3.3. of the HLS draft [1]

This commit changes the logic to select 3 fragments from the end when
playing a live stream.

d310c0c460 hlsdemux: cache current file position in the list
Avoids iterating the list everytime to look for the next segment
to be used (or to advance to the next one).

e21abb62e0 hlsdemux: cache total duration to avoid iterating at every query
Duration queries can be done a few times per second and would cause
the segment list to be traversed for every one. Caching the duration
prevents that.

dd7cb8f632 hlsdemux: implement _has_next_fragment to avoid busy looping
It will allow the demuxer to wait for a fragment to be available instead
of busy looping polling the playlist for a new fragment

50b5d94b2a hlsdemux: Implement live seeking
hlsdemux assumes that seeking is not allowed for live streams,
however seek is possible if there are sufficient fragments in the
manifest. For example the BBC have live streams that contain 2 hours
of fragments.

The seek code for both live and on-demand is common code. The
difference between them is that an offset has to be calculated
for the timecode of the first fragment in the live playlist.

When hlsdemux starts to play a live stream, the possible seek range
is between 0 and A seconds. After some time has passed, the beginning of
the stream will no longer be available in the playlist and the seek
range is between B and C seconds.

Seek range:
start          0 ........... A
later               B ........... C

This commit adds code to keep a note of the B and C values
and the highest sequence number it has seen. Every time it updates the
media playlist, it walks the list of fragments, seeing if there is a
fragment with sequence number > highest_seen_sequence. If so, the values
of B and C are updated. The value of B is used when timestamping
buffers.

It also makes sure the seek range is never closer than three fragments
from the end of the playlist - see 6.3.3. "Playing the Playlist file"
of the HLS draft.

c87835a79f hlsdemux: Fix accessing invalidated memory
In gst_hls_demux_get_next_fragment() the next fragment URI gets
stored in next_fragment_uri, but the gst_hls_demux_updates_loop()
can at any time update the playlist, rendering this string invalid.
Therefore, any data (like key, iv, URIs) that is taken from a
GstM3U8Client needs to be copied. In addition, accessing the
internals of a GstM3U8Client requires locking.

It's per fragment and applying to all following fragments
until the next key is specified.

babd8969f2 hlsdemux: Reload the variant playlist if refreshing a playlist or downloading a fragment fails
This can happen if the playlists have moved due to the variant playlist
now being redirected to another target. This currently only works as long
as the referenced playlists don't change in relation to the variant
playlist, and the new location is purely due to a new path triggered by a
new redirection target of the variant playlist, or a new redirection
target of the playlist itself.

b3a7242910 hlsdemux: Keep track of timestamps by adding them up during playback
...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.

a51116add3 hlsdemux: Refactor threading and downloading
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.
