This mode is useful for muxers that can take a long time to finalize a
file. Instead of blocking the whole upstream pipeline while the muxer is
doing its stuff, we can unlink it and spawn a new muxer+sink combination
to continue running normally.
This requires us to receive the muxer and sink (if needed) as factories,
optionally accompanied by their respective properties structures. Also
added the muxer-added and sink-added signals, in case custom code has to
be called for them.

If the use-robust-muxing property is set, check if the
assigned muxer has reserved-max-duration and
reserved-duration-remaining properties, and if so set
the configured maximum duration to the reserved-max-duration
property, and monitor the remaining space to start
a new file if the reserved header space is about to run out -
even though it never ought to.
Switching to a new fragment because the input caps have
changed didn't properly end the previous file. Use the normal
EOS sequence to ensure that happens. Add a test that it works.
Add a new signal for formatting the filename, which receives
a GstSample containing the first buffer from the reference
stream that will be muxed into that file.
Useful for creating filenames that are based on the
running time or other attributes of the buffer.
To make it work, opening of files and setting filenames is
now deferred until there is some data to write to it,
which also requires some changes to how async state changes
and gap events are handled.
The test had a function to print the error, but was not parsing it.
This was causing warning about dbg_info being used uninitialized. If
the test was testing any errors, this would have crashed.
Implement 2 new elements - splitmuxsink and splitmuxsrc.
splitmuxsink is a bin which wraps a muxer and takes 1 video stream,
plus audio/subtitle streams, and starts a new file
whenever necessary to avoid overrunning a threshold of either bytes
or time. New files are started at a keyframe, and corresponding audio
and subtitle streams are split at packet boundaries to match
video GOP timestamps.
splitmuxsrc is a corresponding source element which handles
the splitmux:// URL and plays back all component files,
reconstructing the original elementary streams as it goes.
