qtmux attempts to choose between writing a 32-bit stco chunk offset table
when it can, but switch to a 64-bit co64 table when file offsets go over
4GB.
This patch fixes a problem where the atom handling code was checking
mdat-relative offsets instead of the final file offset (computed by
adding the mdat position plus the mdat-relative offset) - leading to
problems where files with a size between 4GB and 4GB+offset-of-the-mdat
would write incorrect STCO tables with some samples having truncated
32-bit offsets.
Smaller files write STCO correctly, larger files would switch to
co64 and also output correctly.

Used by some proprietary software for their fragmented files.
Adds some support for multi-stream fragmented files
Flow is as follows.
1. The first 'fragment' is written as a self-contained fragmented
mdat+moov complete with an edit list and durations, tags, etc.
2. Subsequent fragments are written with a mdat+moof and each stream is
interleaved as data arrives (currently ignoring the interleave-*
properties). data-offsets in both the traf and the trun ensure
data is read from the correct place on demuxing. Data/chunk offsets
are also kept for writing out the final moov.
3. On finalisation, the initial moov is invalidated to a hoov and the
size of the first mdat is extended to cover the entire file contents.
Then a moov is written as regularly would in moov-at-end mode (the
default).
This results in a file that is playable throughout while leaving a
finalised file on completion for players that do not understand
fragmented mp4.

Even if timecode trak is officially unsupported in non-mov flavors,
some software still supports it, e.g. Final Cut Pro X:
https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/technotes/tn2174/_index.html
The user might still expect to see the timecode information in the
non-mov file despite it being officially unsupported , because other
software e.g. QuickTime will create a timecode trak even in mp4 files.
Furthermore, software that supports timecode trak in non-mov flavors
will also display the file duration in "timecode units" instead of real
clock time, which is not necessarily the same for 29.97 fps and friends.
This might confuse users, who see a different duration for the same
framerate and amount of frames depending on whether the container is mp4
or mov.

Supports CEA 608 and CEA 708 CC streams
Also supports usage in "Robust Prefill" mode if the incoming caption
stream is constant (i.e. there is one incoming CC buffer for each
video frame).

This sets up a moov with the correct sample positions beforehand and
only works with constant framerate, I-frame only streams.
Currently only support for ProRes and raw audio is implemented but
adding new codecs is just a matter of defining appropriate maximum frame
sizes.

They should have ideally the same timescale of the video track, which we
can't guarantee here as in theory timecode configuration and video
framerate could be different. However we should set a correct timescale
based on the framerate given in the timecode configuration, and not just
use the framerate numerator.
Needed for QuickTime 7 to properly play files.
Also write the clap atom for MOV files always, not only when ProRes is
used as a video codec. It's mandatory for MOV.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777100
It's required for ProRes to work with other software.
It is also in the MP4 standard, but inventing values here seems a bit
tricky for the general case and it does not really give any extra
information.

Adds AC-3 muxing support. It is defined for mp4 and 3gp formats.
One extra feature that was added was the ability to add extension
atoms after set_caps as the AC-3 extension atom needs some data
that has to be extracted from the stream itself and is not
present on caps.
Implement a robust recording mode, where the output
file is always in a playable state, seeking and rewriting
the moov header at a configurable interval. Rewriting
moov is done using reserved space at the start of
the file, and a ping-pong strategy where the moov
is replaced atomically so it's never invalid.
Track when tags have actually changed, and don't write them into
the moov unless they've changed. Clear any existing tags when
re-writing them, so we can do progressive moov updating in robust
recording mode.
Write placeholder mdat as a free atom plus a 32-bit mdat
with '0' size, which means "rest of the file" in the spec.
Re-write it later to a full 64-bit extended size atom if needed.
Correctly update any edit lists each time the moov is recalculated,
updating existing table entries if they already exist instead of just
adding new ones.
Refactor the functions that were bound to the 'moov' atom to
directly pass the desired 'udta' that should receive the tags.
This allows the tags to be written to 'udta' at the 'moov' or
the 'trak' level, creating tags that are for the container or
for a stream only.

Mov spec says it uses a pascal style string, while isomedia uses
a null terminated one. Store the current atoms flavor into the HDLR
to be able to generate the correct output.
