WebKit's websrc depends on the main-thread for download completion
rendezvous. This exposed a number of deadlocks in adaptivedemux due to
it holding the MANIFEST_LOCK during network requests, and also needing
to hold it to change_state and resolve queries, which frequently occur
during these download windows.
Make demux->running MT-safe so that it can be accessed without using the
MANIFEST_LOCK. In case a source is downloading and requires a MT-thread
notification for completion of the fragment download, a state change
during this download window will deadlock unless we cancel the downloads
and ensure they are not restarted before we finish the state-change.
Also make demux->priv->have_manifest MT-safe. A duration query happening
in the window described above can deadlock for the same reason. Other
src queries (like SEEKING) that happen in this window also could
deadlock, but I haven't hit this scenario.
Increase granularity of API_LOCK'ing in change_state as well. We need to
cancel downloads before trying to take this lock, since sink events
(EOS) will hold it before starting a fragment download.
Header data must be forwarded to downstream, but if demux does not finish
to finding type (e.g., ts, mp4 and etc), this header data can be cleared
by _stream_clear_pending_data(). Moreover, although demux finish downloading
header data, still it has fragment date to be downloaded, fragment sequence
shouldn't be advanced yet at that moment.

Currently, if one was to set -Dhls-crypto to either libgcrypt or openssl
instead of auto, the following lines would fail because hls_crypto_dep is not
yet set:
if not hls_crypto_dep.found() and ['auto', 'libgcrypt'].contains(hls_crypto)
if not hls_crypto_dep.found() and ['auto', 'openssl'].contains(hls_crypto)
Instead, change "if not hls_crypto_dep.found()" to "if not have_hls_crypto"
which fixes the error.
We don't want to reset the muxer, otherwise the continuity counter will
reset after each segment and some software gets confused. We want to
create a continuous stream.

The AVERAGE-BANDWIDTH attribute in the EXT-X-STREAM-INF tag represents
the average segment bit rate of the Variant Stream, while the BANDWIDTH
attribute represents the peak segment bit rate of the Variant Stream.
(https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-pantos-http-live-streaming-23#section-4.3.4.2)
Using the average bit rate instead of the peak bit rate for variant switching
is more efficient and appropriate. Sometimes due to VBR encoding,
the BANDWIDTH may represent a value way above the average bit rate,
which could result to players not switching to that variant stream
although network bandwidth is sufficiently available.

It is legal for a stream to reuse segments (marking discontinuities as
needed). Uplynk delivers such playlists for their placeholder loops.
Leave the URI scanning in place for playlists which have no
EXT-X-MEDIA-SEQUENCE tag. This should be harmless since the spec
requires these playlists to not be missing segments (RFC8216 6.2.2),
so we should be always matching on the first segment.

The function was basically one big if-else. Move the branch to the
one caller.
Currently, it's never called with previous_files == NULL. Assert that
this continues.

This embeds the muxer inside the sink and accepts elementary streams
while the old HLS sink required the muxer outside. Apart from that the
interface is the same as before.
Currently only mpegtsmux is supported, but support for other muxers is
just a matter of adding a property.
The advantage of the new sink is that it reduces complexity a lot and
properly handles pre-encoded streams with appropriately spaced
keyframes.

hlsdemux tries to find type if given buffer size is large enought to
find type (currently the threshold is 2KB), or EOS in some cases.
However, since there can be small byte fragments such as WebVTT,
demux should try to find type at the end of a fragment

The PCR_flag and PCR value is in adaptation_field, not in payload.
The MSB of adaptation_field_control is used as whether adaptation_
field is exist or not.
For the case(PCR in only adaptation_field without payload), we modify
checking condition about adaptation_field_control field.

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.
