f09dd7e7a5 dashdemux: handle error messages from the sources
Set up a message handling function to be able to catch errors
from the source element and signal the cond to allow the download
loop to retry the download.

d6671e73a6 dashdemux: measure download rate just like hlsdemux

bed3d66605 dashdemux: remove uridownloader from fragments download
Instead, use a source element linked to a ghostpad to provide
smaller buffers and more granular control for downstream
buffering elements while also reducing startup latency

da329b44a4 dashdemux: remove stream loop thread
Download and push from the same task, makes code a lot simpler
to maintain. Also pushing from separate threads avoids deadlocking
when gst_pad_push blocks due to downstream queues being full.

be54766975 dashdemux: use a separate GstUriDownloader per stream

f33c52377f dashdemux: store GstActiveStream to avoid getting it every time
GstActiveStream is used everywhere to operate on the MPD client,
better store it in the GstDashDemuxStream to avoid getting it
everytime

7c6ccda3ec dashdemux: simplify locking for streams
Use a single lock for all streams instead of having separate locks.
This makes maintenance easier and at most points we would need
a single lock before iterating on all streams data. So not much
is gained from individual locks.

6611d14eed dashdemux: handle multiple languages
Handle multiple languages by using the not-linked return to stop
the download task for that stream. It can be reactivated when
a reconfigure event is received. Stopping the unused streams is
relevant to save network bandwidth

31e4ba0094 dashdemux: Use 1 download task per stream
Instead of having a single download task for all streams, this
commit makes each stream have its own download loop, allowing
parallel download of fragments.

5a5e66ec90 dashdemux: handle live playback resync
During a live stream it is possible for dashdemux to lag behind on a
slow connection or to rush ahead of the connection os too fast.

For the first case it is necessary to jump some segments ahead to be able to
continue playback as old segments are usually deleted from the server.

For the later, dashdemux should wait a little before attempting another
download do give time to the server to produce a new segment

4f9f0b84cf dashdemux: make timestamps start from 0
Non-live streams should timestamp buffers with a running-time starting from
0. Since we already push a 0 -> -1 segment, bring the timestamps to 0
by subtracting the initial timestamp.

fbbf713e45 dashdemux: keep a list of streams periods
Keep a list of streams per period so that the download loop can keep
downloading while the stream loop is still pushing old period's data.

460542daaf dashdemux: add a downloadrate utility
A small struct that keeps a short history of fragment download bitrates
to have an average measure of N last fragments instead of using only
the last downloaded bitrate

94dcb60127 dashdemux: change bitrates based on the stream bitrate
Do not use a global bitrate as the sizes of the fragments matter
when calculating the download rate as the connection setup time is
also being taken into the download duration, a smaller fragment
will have a lower bitrate than a larger one.

This avoids switching the bitrates for streams frequently because
of bitrate mismatches

83c0e1e25d dashdemux: download the next fragment with smaller timestamp
Instead of downloading 1 fragment per stream per download loop,
select the stream with the earlier timestamp and get a fragment
only for that one.

The old algorithm would lead to problems when the fragment durations
were too different for streams.

39924c60a1 dashdemux: remove buffering message emission from dashdemux
dashdemux shouldn't emit the buffering message as that can pause
the pipeline. It has no proper knowledge of the downstream buffering
status so it can pause the pipeline when it isn't necessary. It should
have an internal buffer for downloading the streams ahead of playback,
but that shouldn't make it able to stop the pipeline for buffering.

A particular case in which this is bad is when a pad switch happens
(changing bitrates for example), the new pads dashdemux creates
will get linked to demuxers and new queues will be created,
these queues are initially empty and dashdemux will quickly
drain its buffers by pushing them to those queues. So it
would have no more buffers internally and would emit a
buffering message with a low ratio, causing the pipeline
to pause when it wouldn't be necessary.

2d85107299 dashdemux: correctly signal EOS on manifest end
Put EOS on the streams queues after the last fragment from the
last period for each stream. This way we keep it serialized
with the buffers and it will work when streams have different
ending times

7330225ac8 dashdemux: Replace GQueue by GstDataQueue
GstDataQueue has proper locking and provides functions to limit the
size of the queue. Also has blocking calls that are useful to
our multithread scenario in Dash.

27b1abbda3 dashdemux: move the buffers queues to the streams
Store the buffers separately for each stream, this is clearer than
having a queue with a list of buffers. It also allows easier selection
of buffers to push in later refactors

f27bb684f7 dashdemux: Remove timing code that delays pushing of fragments
Fragments should be pushed ASAP as downstream should be responsible for
doing the syncrhonization and proper buffering.

This has the great side effect of fixing most of the seeking A/V sync issues.

- seamless switching from one Period to the next one works fine;
- the 'new-segment' generation is broken, so if we need to switch pads for a new Period there is a crash;
