I didn't find the behavior and purpose of streamsynchronizer documented
or intuitive. Eventually I got Edward to explain it to me, which was
very helpful. Now I'm contributing some docs so that the next person
doesn't have to figure it out by asking around and hoping for an answer.

videoscale does not have convert function, so remove the convert
description in it's classification. Otherwise, if we want use
autovideoconvert to convert colorsapce, autovideoconvert will select
videoscale to do convert and this will cause to fail.

We were storing the probe id in a different structure (DecodebinOutputStream)
than the pad it is targetting (which is in MultiQueueSlot).
The problem is that when re-targetting outputs (to a different slot)... we would
end up having an invalid probe id, or not have a reference to an existing one.
Instead, store the probe id in the same structure as the pad it's targetting

ensure_input_parsebin() has a top comment saying it must be called with
INPUT_LOCK taken, but 2 out of 3 usages of the function call it without
taking that mutex.
This patch adds locking in these two remaining usages.

This fixes a regression introduced by 6c4f52ea20
There are cases where the input stream will be push-based, time-segment and not
have a collection nor caps. This means the event-based checks are not sufficient
to decide when/where to plug in a identity or parsebin to process the input.
For those corner cases we setup a buffer probe to ensure we always end up with
at least a parsebin
Fixes#3609

The typefind code was rejecting content smaller than 128 bytes making it
impossible to play files with very small srt files.
But those can actually be properly detected so fix typefind to allow
smaller content and try its best with it.

When dealing with push-based inputs, we are now delaying the creation of
parsebin/identity until we get all pre-buffer events.
We therefore can simplify the handling of new pads being linked and only have to
check if upstream can handle pull-based or not.
Avoids creating parsebin for parsed upstream data altogether

When we are dealing with parsed inputs (i.e. using identity), we need to ensure
that we have a valid stream collection (and therefore DBCollection) before
anything flows dowsntream.
In those cases, we hold onto those events until we get such a collection.
Fixes#3356

This commit separates collection and selections into a new separate structure:
DecodebinCollection.
This provides a much cleaner/saner way of dealing with collections being
updated, gapless playback, etc...
There is now a list of DecodebinCollection in flight, of which two are special:
* input_collection, the currently inputted/merged collection
* output_collection, the currently active collection on the output of multiqueue
Handling GST_EVENT_SELECT_STREAMS is split, by looking for the collection to
which it applies. And the requested streams are stored in it. IIF that
collection is output_collection we can do the switch, else it will be updated
when it becomes active.
Detecting which collection/selection is active is done by looking at the
GST_EVENT_STREAM_START on the output of the multiqueue.

* Move the handling of GST_EVENT_STREAM_START on a slot to a separate function
* There was a lot of usage of `gst_stream_get_stream_id()` for the slot
active_stream. Cache that instead of constantly querying it.
* Rename the variables in `handle_stream_switch()` to be clearer
Part-of: <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/-/merge_requests/6774>
* Centralize associating an output to a slot in one function, including properly
resetting those fields
* Rename functions to be more explicit
* Move code to "reset" an output stream into a dedicated function (will be used
later)
Part-of: <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/-/merge_requests/6774>
* Rename the function names to be clearer, with prefixes
* Pass the input (or stream) directly where appropriate
* Document usage, inputs, ownership
* Rename variables for clarity where applicable
* Avoid double lock/unlock if callee can handle it directly

Simplify its usage by having it directly create the message if the collection
changed. This is what caller were always doing and avoids releasing selection
locks yet-another-time
Also use it in more places to avoid code repetition

To simplify the description, I'm assuming we only have two streams: video and audio.
For the video stream, we have the following events :
- STREAM_START => stream->wait set to true
- NEW_SEGMENT(1) => blocked waiting in gst_stream_synchronizer_wait
- FLUSH_START => unblocked
- FLUSH_STOP => stream->wait reset to false
- NEW_SEGMENT(2) => not waiting, since stream->wait is false
Then for the audio stream, we have the following events :
- STREAM_START => stream->wait set to true
- NEW_SEGMENT(2) => blocked waiting in gst_stream_synchronizer_wait for ever.
Note: The first NEW_SEGMENT event and the FLUSH_START, FLUSH_STOP events of the audio stream
are dropped before being received by the streamsynchronizer element, because the decodebin audio pad src
is not yet linked to the playsink audio pad sink.
To fix this deadlock, we don't reset stream->wait to false in the FLUSH_STOP event when it is not
waiting for the EOS of the other streams.
