A lot of content producers out there targetting "adaptive streaming" are riddled
with non-compliant PCR streams (essentially all the players out there just use
PTS/DTS and don't care about the PCR).
In order to gracefully cope with these, we detect them appropriately and any
small (< 15s) PCR resets get gracefully ignored.

Currently for buffer splitting only output duration can be specified.
Allow specifying a buffer size in bytes for splitting.
Consider a use case of the below pipeline
appsrc ! rptL16pay ! capsfilter ! rtpbin ! udpsink
Maintaining MTU for RTP transfer is desirable but in a scenario
where the buffers being pushed to appsrc do not adhere to this,
an audiobuffersplit element placed between appsrc and rtpL16pay
with output buffer size specified considering the MTU can help
mitigate this.
While rtpL16pay already has a MTU setting, in case of where an
incoming buffer has a size close to MTU, for eg. with a MTU of
1280, a buffer of size 1276 bytes would be split into two buffers,
one of 1268 and other of 8 bytes considering RTP header size of
12 bytes. Putting audiobuffersplit between appsrc and rtpL16pay
can take care of this.
While buffer duration could still be used being able to specify
the size in bytes is helpful here.

Adding vp9parse element to parse various stream information such as
resolution, profile, and so on. If upstream does not provide resolution and/or
profile, this would be useful for decodebin pipeline for autoplugging
suitable decoder element depending on template caps of each decoder element.
In addition, vp9parse element supports unpacking superframe into
single frame for decoders. The vp9 superframe is a frame which consists
of multiple frames (or superframe with one frame is allowed) followed by superframe
index block. Then unpacked each frame will be considered as normal frame
by decoder. The decision for unpacking will be done by downstream element's
"alignment" caps field, which can be "super-frame" or "frame".
If downstream specifies the "alignment" as "frame",
then vp9parse element will split an incoming superframe into single frames
and the superframe index (located at the end of the superframe) data
will be discarded by vp9parse element.

Making the thread receiving the stats wait on the loop to respond was
not a good idea, as the latter can get blocked on the streaming thread.
Have get_stats read the values directly, adding a lock to ensure we
don't read garbage.

Ensure we take the object lock while accessing `GstElement.sinkpads`.
Use an iterator when the code isn't simple to avoid deadlock.
When we find the best pad, take a reference so a concurrent pad
release doesn't destroy the pad before we're done with it.

There are quite a few reserved PID in the various MPEG-TS (and derivate)
specifications which we should definitely not use. Those PID have a certain
meaning and purpose.
Furthermore, a lot of the code in the muxer implementation also makes assumption
on the purpose of streams based on their PID.
Therefore, when requesting a pad with a specific PID, make sure it is not a
restricted PID.

Regardless if it's multicast or not, set the address property to match
the element address. This is the address of the interface to listen to,
which is expected to be ANY in most cases, but should be honnored even
for RTCP non-multicast case.
This also fixes an assertion if the address is not a parsable IPv4 or
IPv6 string.

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.
