In order to always insert a PCR packet right on time, we need to
check whether one is needed when outputting any packet, not only
a packet for the PCR stream. Most of the PCR packets will remain
data-carrying packets, but as a last resort we may insert stuffing
packets on the PCR stream.

Change PCR / SI scheduling so that instead of checking if
the current PCR is larger than the next target time, instead
check if the PCR of the next packet would be too late, so PCR
and SI are always scheduled earlier than the target, not later.
There are still cases where PCR can be written too late though,
because we don't check before each output packet.

Previously, "en" (should have actually been "eng") was assumed
for the ISO-639 language descriptor if no language was explicitely given.
Neither ETSI EN 300 468 nor ATSC A/52 mandate for a language descriptor,
so we should simply not set it, if it's unknown.

Until now, any streams in tsmux had to be present when the element
started its first buffer. Now they can appear at any point during the
stream, or even disappear and reappear later using the same PID.
This adds two properties:
* scte-35-pid: If not 0, enables the SCTE-35 support for the current
program. This will write the proper PMT and send SCTE-35 NULL
commands (i.e. heartbeats) at a regular interval
* scte-35-null-interval: This specifies the interval at which the
NULL commands should be sent
Sending SCTE-35 commands is done by creating the appropriate SCTE-35
GstMpegtsSection and then sending them on the muxer. See the
associated example
We were unconditionally adding top-level descriptors in the PMT which
were only related to bluray support for PS3 (from 10 years ago).
These should be re-added conditionally
Instead of using a static hardcoded PCR interval, allow the user
to configure it.
Also revert back the default to a 40 ms interval, that was changed
in recent patches for no good reason.
As sections can be provided by the user through send_event
when the element state is NULL, their lifetime is expected
to match that of the muxer, and they must be preserved when
the state changes
We can have multiple TsMuxPacketInfo objects for the same PID
with user-provided sections, for example ATSC requires multiple
tables with the same PID.
In M2TS mode, we need an extra 4 bytes in the buffer, so need
to ensure the buffer can contain these. The allocation site
does not know the mode, so this is done in all cases.
The MPEG standard (ISO-13880-1) says the reserve bits need to be set
to one (2.1.64). This is causing transport streams to fail validation
on some systems.

Use the saved DTS, make it signed and pass that to the stream muxer. This
preserves the running time sign. All usage of -1 as invalid TS are now
replaced with G_MININT64. Negative values will be seen as wrap-around
point, but the delta between PTS and DTS will remain correct. Demuxers
don't care about absolute values, they only cares about deltas.

It was previously a mix and match of both variants, introducing just too much
confusion.
The prefix are from now on:
* GstMpegts for structures and type names (and not GstMpegTs)
* gst_mpegts_ for functions (and not gst_mpeg_ts_)
* GST_MPEGTS_ for enums/flags (and not GST_MPEG_TS_)
* GST_TYPE_MPEGTS_ for types (and not GST_TYPE_MPEG_TS_)
The rationale for chosing that is:
* the namespace is shorter/direct (it's mpegts, not mpeg_ts nor mpeg-ts)
* the namespace is one word under Gst
* it's shorter (yah)
Turns out glib aborts on allocation failure, so this is pointless.
We'll just ignore Coverity warnings on such constructs.
This reverts commit d347809a82.
While it will probably not trigger, it should silence a Coverity
warning about the fail code path testing for NULLness before
freeing, where the buffer was already dereferenced. It seems
safest to keep that test, in case future goto fail statements
happen to have a NULL buffer there.

The muxer is now able to include DVB sections in the transport stream.
The si-interval property will determine how often the SI tables are
muxed into the stream.
The section is handled by the mpeg-ts library. Below is a small example
that will include a Netork Information Table with a Network Name
descriptor in the stream.
GstMpegTsNIT *nit;
GstMpegTsDescriptor *descriptor;
GstMpegTsSection *section;
GstElement *mpegtsmux;
gst_mpegts_initialize ();
nit = gst_mpegts_section_nit_new ();
nit->actual_network = TRUE;
descriptor = gst_mpegts_descriptor_from_dvb_network_name ("Network name");
g_ptr_array_add (nit->descriptors, descriptor);
section = gst_mpegts_section_from_nit (nit);
// mpegtsmux should be retrieved from the pipeline
gst_mpegts_section_send_event (section, mpegtsmux);
gst_mpegts_section_unref (section);
The prog-map property of mpegtsmux only allows you to group pids together in a program.
The program number set in the PAT/PMT tables cannot be set explicitly.
This patch will set the program number according to the prog-map.
If a program id of 0 is given, the first vacant program number starting from 1 will be used.
