For duration queries on live streams, adaptivedemux ignores the query.
The problem then is that the query is answered by the downstream
qtdemux element, with the duration of the currently passing fragment.
This commit changes the behaviour of adaptivedemux to answer the duration
queries for live streams, returning GST_CLOCK_TIME_NONE.

hls live starts playback from the allowed latest fragment,
but its "sequence position" is set to zero, and so stream
time is also set to zero.
This does not make sense, because hls live allows seeking to past position,
and it's negative stream time from downstream element's point of view.
Note that, allowed seekable range (and seeking query) is
from the first fragment of playlist to the allowed latest fragment.

HLS spec 6.3.3 is saying that
"the client SHOULD NOT choose a segment which starts less than
three target durations from the end of the Playlist file."
To ensure above statement, the third fragment from the end of playlist
should be excluded from seekable range and also from available starting fragment.
(i.e., the fourth fragment from end of playlist is the starting fragment).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777682
During live playback, the first fragment in a updated
playlist can be advanced from that of startup playlist.
Meanwhile, since hlsdemux finds target seek position
by just accumulating fragment's duration, the base should
be adjusted to the updated first fragment's timestamp.

Without failing, we would play back random parts of the stream which is
arguably a worse user experience, and failing is also recommended by the
spec here.
And also handle live streams without any media sequence numbers at all
properly, that is, make sure the sequence numbers are increasing instead
of starting again at 0 every time.

They often don't only contain the PCR information but also other
metadata, like title. Give this information to the pipeline.
Also strip the tags from the stream as we a) already parsed them now and
b) decoders don't like these tags to happen in the middle of the stream
(i.e. the start of each fragment) and tagdemux only can strip them off
the beginning and end.
When one is only updating the "stop" position (i.e. non-flushing seek,
with GST_SEEK_TYPE_NONE on the "start" (or stop in reverse) position),
we only need to store those values instead of moving the current position.

If the playlist does not contain any iframe variants then
demux->master->iframe_variants is NULL. If the previous variant is an
iframe variant then there is at least one iframe variant and
demux->master->iframe_variants->data can be safely used.

And scale the bitrate with the absolute rate (if it's bigger than 1.0) to get
to the real bitrate due to faster playback.
This allowed in my tests to play a stream with 10x speed without buffering as
the lowest bitrate is chosen, instead of staying/selecting the highest bitrate
and then buffering all the time.
It was previously disabled for not very well specified reasons, which seem to
be not valid anymore nowadays.

Highlights of the features provided are:
* Faster builds on Linux (~40-50% faster)
* The ability to build with MSVC on Windows
* Generate Visual Studio project files
* Generate XCode project files
* Much faster builds on Windows (on-par with Linux)
* Seriously fast configure and building on embedded
... and many more. For more details see:

Building with Meson should work on both Linux and Windows, but may
need a few more tweaks on other operating systems.
After the check in line 1,111, media->uri can't be NULL. So the two checks
for GST_HLS_MEDIA_TYPE_CLOSED_CAPTIONS are the same, removing the redundant
one which goes to cc_unsupported.

Create an output stream for each media when alternate renditions
are present. Update the manifests for all those streams, and
make sure that typefinding is still done for files smaller than 2KB
such as small WebVTT files.
When fetching a byte-region from a server resource,
adjust the downstream buffer offsets so that downstream
doesn't know. This is because id3demux insists on the
first offset being 0. Later we might strip ID3 headers
entirely and this will be unneeded.
Modify playlist updating to track information across updates
better, although still hackish.
When connection_speed == 0, choose the default variant
not the first one in the (now sorted) variant list, as that
will have the lowest bitrate.
Make M3U8 and GstM3U8MediaFile refcounted. The contents
of it and GstM3U8MediaFile are pretty much immutable
already, but if we make it refcounted we can just
return a ref to the media file from _get_next_fragment()
instead of copying over all fields one-by-one, and then
copying them all into the adaptive stream structure fields again.
Move state from client into m3u8 structure. This will
be useful later when we'll have multiple media playlists
being streamed at the same time, as will be the case with
alternative renditions.
This has the downside that we need to copy over some
state when we switch between variant streams.
The GstM3U8Client structure is gone, and main/current
lists are not directly in hlsdemux. hlsdemux had as
many CLIENT_LOCK/UNLOCK as the m3u8 code anyway...
Don't clear decryption state immediately after
initialising it in the start_fragment. Don't clear
the state of all streams when we want to only clear
the current stream.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org//show_bug.cgi?id=768757
Add demuxer instance-wide decryption key cache. The current and
last key url are per-stream, so make a shared cache. Move the
decryption handling into the stream object, and use the shared
cache for the keys.
Prepare hlsdemux for more than one single stream. Currently hlsdemux
assumes there'll only ever be one stream and most of the stream-specific
state is actually in the hlsdemux structure. Add a stream subclass
instead and move some stream-specific members there instead.
When switching fragments we don't want to keep any data around from the last
one, and also forget about all data when doing flushing seeks or selecting new
bitrates.

Handling the ghostpad and its internal pad was causing more issues
than helping because of their coupled activation/deactivation
actions.
As we have to install custom chain,event and query functions it is
better to use a floating sink pad internally in the demuxer and just
use those pad functions to push through a standard pad in the demuxer
