Strictly speaking, the TTML spec requires that text backgrounds extend
only to the font height of the related text, rather than to the vertical
distance between lines. The result of this is that there will typically
be vertical gaps between line backgrounds through which moving video can
be seen. Since this was unnacceptable to some content providers, v1.0.1
of the IMSC spec (which profiles TTML) adds a new attribute,
itts:fillLineGap[1], that allows content authors to specify that clients
should extend text backgrounds such that there are no gaps between
lines. This attribute is also going to be included in the next release
of EBU-TT-D.
This patch adds support for fillLineGap to ttmlparse and ttmlrender.

Ensure that region backgrounds are always show when tts:showBackground
is not explicitly set, in accordance with the default behavour given in
the TTML spec.

A common subtitling use case is live-generated subtitles, in which each
new word is contained in its own span, and the spans are displayed
sequentially, with the effect that lines of displayed subtitles are
built up word-by-word.
This can, however, cause problems when the number of words in a block is
greater than the number of allowed GstMemorys in a GstBuffer.
Since in this use case each span will have the same styling as adjacent
spans, we can join adjacent spans (and other inline elements, such as
breaks) into a single element containing the concatenated text of each,
thus avoiding the limit of GstMemorys in a GstBuffer and also reducing
the amount of styling/layout metadata that is attached to each buffer.

The parser stores the text from each inline element of a scene in its
own GstMemory, which is inserted in the GstBuffer containing the scene
data. However, GstBuffers can contain only a limited number of
GstMemorys. Therefore, don't add more than the maximum number of
GstMemorys to each buffer, and warn if this is attempted.

When parsing <br> elements, store an actual newline in the text field of
the created TtmlElement. They then don't need to be treated as a
separate case from anon-span elements when being processed.

Encapsulates in a function the code that warns of an illegally
positioned element, rather than repeating the same code multiple times.
Also frees a string allocated by ttml_get_element_type_string, which was
previously being leaked.

The TTML spec has an issue in which tab (U+0009) characters that are
first in a sequence of whitespace characters are not suppressed at the
start and end of line areas. This issue was reported in [1] and the
editor of the TTML specs confirmed that this was not the intention
behind the spec.
The editor has created an issue to fix this in both the TTML1 and TTML2
specs [2], giving a proposal of what the spec should say. This patch
updates ttmlparse to implement the intended behaviour as proposed, in
which tabs in the input are converted to spaces before processing.

If multiple styles/regions with the same ID are present in the input
(which is not allowed in TTML), use the last and give a warning.
Fixes CID #1405134.
Clang's static analyser found potential code paths in which variables
were being used in comparisons when uninitialised. Fix by properly
handling out-of-range value returned by gst_ttml_get_element_index.
Don't hide build behind --enable-experimental. Our goal is to not
autoplug it for now, so let's just always build it if the dependencies
are there and hide autoplugging enablement behind an env var.
Significant whitespace in elements that don't have begin/end values
should inherit timing from its parent, or if no its parents have no
timing, from the document's Root Temporal Extent. Currently, such
whitespace is removed, which is not spec-compliant. Fix this by
retaining whitespace in content nodes, and assigning a Root Temporal
Extent of 24 hours to any significant whitespace whose parents have no
associated timing.

The specified behaviour in TTML when lineHeight is "normal" is different
from the behaviour when a percentage is given. In the former case, the
line height is a percentage (the TTML spec recommends 125%) of the largest
font size that is applied to the spans within the block; in the latter
case, the line height is the given percentage of the font size that is
applied to the block itself.
The code doesn't correctly implement this behaviour; this patch fixes
that.

In TTML, the height of every line in a block is determined by lineHeight
and fontSize style attributes, and should be the same for each line in
that block, regardless of whether different sized text appears on
different lines. Currently, a single PangoLayout is used to lay out all
the text in a block; however, pango will vary the line height in a
layout depending on the size of text used in each line, which is not
compliant with TTML.
This patch makes ttmlrender lay out the lines in a block itself, rather
than using a PangoLayout to do the work. The code still uses a
PangoLayout to render the text of each element, but the overall layout
of the text in a block is now controlled by ttmlrender itself. By doing
this, ttmlrender is able to ensure that the height of each line in a
block is correct.

ttml was recently added but it won't compile unless libxml2 version 2.9.2
or later is available. In that version the first parameter of xmlGetProp
switched to being a const. In previous versions the compiler complains
about passing a const value to a non const argument.
