Currently, whenever we generate a 128-bit UID, we store it in a list and
return 0 if we ever encounter a collision. This is so mathematically
improbable that it's not worth checking for, so we can save memory and
time by not tracking the UID. Even if a collision happened, a list of
only 10 UIDs would be unlikely to detect it.
This article has a good description of how improbable a collision is:

If we have cluster prev size (GStreamer muxer will write it by default),
we can go back to the previous cluster efficiently, but if we don't then
just search backwards until we find a cluster ebml identifier, like we
do when searching for clusters in the bisection loop.
Add property instead of hardcoding it in the code.
In some scenarios such as CCTV variable fps and extra long GOPs are
used to minimise storage space, for example. In those cases there might
not be any keyframes for many minutes, so provide a property to override
the max allowed distance.

When seeking in pull mode without an index (because there is no index
or the file is still being written to) we bisect to find the right
cluster to jump to. However, it's possible the cluster we found doesn't
start with a keyframe, which leads to decoding errors, so if we know
that the found cluster starts with a delta frame try to scan back to
previous clusters until we find one that starts with a keyframe or
we are back at the beginning. Theoretically it's possible that all
clusters but the first one do not start with a keyframe and the
keyframes are in the middle of clusters, but this is extremely
unusual, so we will cover this case with a basic sanity check.
This problem is especially problematic with content recorded with
dynamic GOP and FPS, where long GOP lengths and low FPS may cause a
large set of clusters to lack key frames. Playback would then be
started on a non-keyframe cluster, and the large number of such frames
would make the content impossible to decode fo a long stretch of time.

This is useful for reverse playback/trickmodes
without an index, and will also be useful in the
seek handler if we need to scan back to find a cluster
that starts with a keyframe.

This is an enum not a boolean, and a value of 2 signals
that the video is progressive, but we would mistakenly set
interlace-mode=mixed on the output caps.

This is a straightforward translation of 5dd39d8, can be trivially
checked by running:
gst-launch-1.0 -v videotestsrc ! video/x-raw, colorimetry=2:4:7:1 ! \
matroskamux ! matroskademux ! fakesink
and verifying that the colorimetry is correctly preserved.

Only up to timescale * G_MAXINT16 is possible as cluster duration, which
is already higher than our default value. Using higher values would
cause overflows and broken files.

Matroska does not support changing the stream type and stream properties
after the headers were started to be written, and for example H264
codec_data changes can't be supported.

TOC support in mastroskamux has been deactivated for a couple of years. This commit updates it to recent GstToc evolutions and introduces toc unit tests for both matroska-mux and matroska-demux.
There are two UIDs for Chapters in Matroska's specifications:
- The ChapterUID is a mandatory unsigned integer which internally refers to a given chapter. Except for title & language which use dedicated fields, this UID can also be used to add tags to the Chapter. The tags come in a separate section of the container.
- The ChapterStringUID is an optional UTF-8 string which also uniquely refers to a chapter but from an external perspective. It can act as a "WebVTT cue identifier" which "can be used to reference a specific cue, for example from script or CSS".
During muxing, the ChapterUID is generated and checked for unicity, while the ChapterStringUID receives the user defined UID. In order to be able to refer to chapters from the tags section, we maintain an internal Toc tree with the generated ChapterUID.
When demuxing, the ChapterStringUIDs (if available) are assigned to the GstTocEntries UIDs and an internal toc mimicking the toc is used to keep track of the ChapterUIDs and match the tags with the appropriate GstTocEntries.

... and forward colorimetry to downstream. The Colour element describes
various color information (similar to 'colr' box in isobmff).
Note that, due to the comparatively limited syntax for color information
in vpx codecs, the color information in mkv/wemb container level
should be used for sophisticated color handling (e.g., HDR video).

Re-arrange order of index entry struct members to avoid padding
bytes in the middle of the struct, thus potentially reducing the
overall size of the struct and reducing memory used by the index.
On Linux x86_64 the size goes down from 32 bytes to 24 bytes for
each index entry.
Similar to what was done in adaptivedemux, ignore seek
events we've already handled - such as when they are received
on every srcpad of files with lots of streams.
With Xiph codecs the stream header buffers are both in the caps and are
usually also at the beginning of each input stream, but it's perfectly
possible that the input stream does not have the stream header buffers
inline in the data. Matroskamux would drop the first N buffers assuming
they're stream headers, but this meant it would drop actual payload data
when the stream didn't contain the stream headers inline. Fix this by
only dropping leading buffers if they're flagged as stream headers. This
fixes issues with streams that are being tapped into after streaming
has started.

After finding a cluster id in the byte reader, we skip ahead the reader
position by one further byte to be able to continue searching from there
inside the same chunk if the cluster candidate was a false positive.
We have to accomodate for that additional byte when resuming the search,
otherwise all following pulls are off-by-one for every resume and we run
into an assertion.
Modify the caps string to allow width and height greater than 4096.
There is no need to restrict it since the matroska format allows the
width and height values to be up to eight bytes long.

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.
We should add all pads, no matter if they are linked or active or not at this
point. Skipping some that are not will cause different behaviour than with
other muxers.
This can only happen if a) upstream somehow gets around the CAPS event failing
or b) there never being any CAPS event.
The following code assumes that all pads have a codec-id.

matroskademux would take the GST_OBJECT_LOCK in
- gst_matroska_demux_push_codec_data_all()
- gst_matroska_demux_query()
Some parse element such as FLAC checks upstream seekability, and
there is some use cases that matroska-demux is linked to a parse element
(e.g.,FLAC format) without intermediate elements (e.g., queue).
In this case, matroska-demux never returns from _push_codec_data_all()
because the parser can return only after it receives the response to
the upstream query, but that's not going to happen because it's
deadlocked.
Elements must not hold the object lock whilst pushing out events
or data.

Send GAP events for non-subtitle streams too if they lag too much
behind, but use a higher threshold than for subtitles.
This helps with fixing prerolling with a file where one of the
audio streams only has data starting from 19s onwards. It's not
a complete fix yet, it also requires changes elsewhere, such as
in baseparse, to make sure caps are propagated.

For the MS/VfW codec ids, we want to write DTS timestamps instead
of PTS because that's what everyone else seems to do (and it's also
how it is in AVI). So for those input formats we use the buffer DTS
instead of the PTS. However, if there's no DTS set but only the PTS
then just take the PTS instead of dropping the input buffer. This
is useful especially for I-frame only codecs like JPEG and huffyuv,
but should also be fine as fallback in general.
Fixes regression with input JPEG frames that only have PTS set on them.
