While some formats allow subclass to determine a specific subsequent
needed frame size, others may to need to scan for markers and can only
request 'additional data' by whatever reasonable available step.
In push mode, trying to minimize additional latency leads to step size
being the next input buffer. In pull mode, any reasonable step size
(such as already used by buffer caching) can be applied.
Protect index with its own lock. gst_index_get_writer_id() may take
the object lock internally (the default resolver, GST_INDEX_RESOLVER_PATH,
will anyway), so if we're using that to protect the index as well,
we'll deadlock.

Change semantics of gst_base_parse_push_frame() and make it take
ownership of the whole frame, not just the frame contents. This
is more in line with how gst_pad_push() etc. work. Just transfering
the content, but not the container of something that's not really
known to be a container is hard to annotate properly and probably
won't work. We mark frames allocated on the stack now with a private
flag in gst_base_parse_frame_init(), so gst_base_parse_frame_free()
only frees the contents in that case but not the frame struct itself.

API: gst_base_parse_frame_new()
Seems like the best fit to what it does, and is shorter than
set_frame_properties() which might also have been confusing
because of GstBaseParseFrame.

This is more in line with e.g. GstBaseTransform's API, and makes for nicer
to read code. No getters for now since I don't see any use case for them,
the API is for subclasses, which usually know what format they're
dealing with already and hence know what they've set.

The first because it seems a better fit conceptually, the second
to express booleanness. Also change the accessor macros for subclasses
to GST_BASE_PARSE_DRAINING and GST_BASE_PARSE_LOST_SYNC.

This is useful for parser like flacparse or h264parse which may need to process
some buffers before they can construct the final caps, in which case they may
want to delay pushing the initial buffers until the full and proper caps are
known.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=646341
This makes more sense conceptually, since the bitrate may be used
to estimate a seek position if there's no seek table or just for
duration reporting/estimation if we can't seek. Also, even if the
format is not syncable, we could still seek by pushing data from the
start and using the segment to make downstream clip.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=518857
Also change gst_base_parse_set_format(parse,flags,switch_on) to
gst_base_parse_set_format_flags(parse,flags) which is more in line
with the rest of our API and how the function is used.
