When playing a live stream, make the recommended buffering threshold at most the
hold-back distance from live. If we start 3 seconds from the live edge, there's
no point trying to buffer more - we'll just hit the live edge and have to wait
for more data to be available anyway.

After cancelling a DownloadRequest, the download helper may not do so
immediately, so we can't assert on the in_use flag. Also, since there's no
refcount on the preload hint struct in the download request callback data, make
sure no callbacks will be dispatched when we're going to free the preload hint
struct.

Implement fulfilment of HTTP requests from the active preload downloads by
finding any preload request that can provide the requested data and feeding
bytes from the internal DownloadRequest to the caller provided target
DownloadRequest.
Doesn't yet calculate timestamps to make the target request have a sensible
apparent bitrate.

Add a helper that submits and handles blocking preload requests for future
PART/MAP data from live playlists. Add handling in the hlsdemux stream to submit
preload requests when hitting the end of the available segments in a live
playlist.

Add a flag to hlsdemux to enable or disable LL-HLS handling.
When LL-HLS is enabled and an LL-HLS playlist is loaded, use the part-hold-back
threshold to choose a starting segment.
For live streams that aren't LL-HLS, use the provided hold-back attribute, or
fall back to landing 3 segments from the end.
Make the gst_hls_media_playlist_seek() method able to choose a partial segment
within 2 target durations of the end of the playlist when requested.

Fix an off-by-one in gst_hls_media_playlist_sync_to_playlist() that would ignore
the first fragment in the reference playlist. The error was harmless, since we
expect the reference playlist to be older than the playlist we're
synchronising (so the first/oldest segment in the reference playlist will likely
not exist in the new playlist), so this is just for correctness.
Also fix a segment leak in gst_hls_media_playlist_advance_fragment() when
ignoring the partial_only segment.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/-/merge_requests/3883>
Add a function for synchronising current position with the contents of a
playlist that is specifically for that and can handle synchronising to a partial
segment.
gst_hls_media_playlist_seek() will be used only when performing external seek
requests, to find the best segment or partial segment at which to resume
playback.

Fixes for stream_time recalculation and handling in partial segments.
Disallow bitrate switching when in the middle of partial segments - only at a
full segment (or right before the first partial segment of a segment).
It's possible but more difficult to switch bitrates in the middle of a partial
segment group, since they are less likely to have aligned keyframes. In any
case, the seek code can't do that right now.

When calculating the presentation offset for CMAF input in live
playback, subtract the stream_time of the fragment from the
calculated presentation offset, so that the first fragment
is played at running time zero.

Unlike the legacy elements, GstAdaptiveDemuxStream is a GObject now,
so a bunch of things that were actually stream methods on the
parent demux object can directly become stream methods now.
Move the stream class out to a header of its own.

When matching segments across playlists with Program-Date-Times,
use the difference in segment PDTs to adjust the stream time
that's being transferred. This can fix cases where the
segment boundaries don't align across different streams
and the first download gets thrown away once the PTS
is seen and found not to match.

Check whether the init file / MAP data for a segment
is different to the current data and trigger an
update if so. Previously, the header would only
be checked in HLS after switching bitrate or
after a seek / first download.

Previously the minimum buffering threshold was hardcoded to a specific
value (10s). This is suboptimal this an actual value will depend on the actual
stream being played.
This commit sets the low watermark threshold in time to 0, which is an automatic
mode. Subclasses can provide a stream `recommended_buffering_threshold` when
update_stream_info() is called.
Currently implemented for HLS, where we recommended 1.5 average segment
duration. This will result in buffering being at 100% when the 2nd segment has
been downloaded (minus a bit already being consumed downstream)

Some servers can return playlists with "old" media playlists and different
Discont Sequence.
In those cases, the segment stream times would be negative when creating a new
time mapping. In order to properly handle such scenarios, shift the values to
stored accordingly to end up with non-negative reference stream time.
