If update_receiver_stats() fails, we can't really do anything with this buffer
anymore and have to drop it. This happens if there's a big seqnum
discontinuity for example.

The new property allows to select the time source that should be used for the
NTP time in RTCP packets. By default it will continue to calculate the NTP
timestamp (1900 epoch) based on the realtime clock. Alternatively it can use
the UNIX timestamp (1970 epoch), the pipeline's running time or the pipeline's
clock time. The latter is especially useful for synchronizing multiple
receivers if all of them share the same clock.
If use-pipeline-clock is set to TRUE, it will override the ntp-time-source
setting and continue to use the running time plus 70 years. This is only kept
for backwards compatibility.
According to RFC 5506, reduce size packages can be sent, this
packages may not be compound, so we need to add support for
getting ssrc from other types of packages.

Otherwise we will have 10s-100s of thread wakeups in feedback profiles, create
RTCP packets, etc. just to suppress them in 99% of the cases (i.e. if no
feedback is actually pending and no regular RTCP has to be sent).
This improves CPU usage and battery life quite a lot.

If we may suppress the packet due to the rules of RFC4585 (i.e. when
below the t-rr-int), we can send a smaller RTCP packet without RRs
and full SDES. In theory we could even send a minimal RTCP packet
according to RFC5506, but we don't support that yet.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=746543
Otherwise we can't properly schedule RTCP in feedback profiles as we need to
distinguish the time when we last checked for sending RTCP (tp) but might have
suppressed it, and the time when we last actually sent a non-early RTCP
packet.
This together with the other changes should now properly implement RTCP
scheduling according to RFC4585, and especially allow us to send feedback
packets a lot if needed but only send regular RTCP packets every once in a
while.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=746543
And modify our RTCP scheduling algorithm accordingly. We now can send more
RTCP packets if needed for feedback, but will throttle full RTCP packets by
rtcp-min-interval (t-rr-int from RFC4585).
In non-feedback mode, rtcp-min-interval is Tmin from RFC3550, which is
statically set to 1s or 0s by RFC4585. Tmin defines how often we should
send RTCP packets at most.

It might just be a late retransmission or spurious packet from elsewhere, but
resetting everything would mean that we will cause a noticeable hickup. Let's
get some confidence first that the sequence numbers changed for whatever
reason.

This reverts commit d22ec49632.
Application code might expect that it only gets external sources on those
signals, and get confused by this. If anything we would need to add new
signals.
Without this it seems impossible for an application to easily get notified
about the internal ssrcs that are created, e.g. sender sources, and also
to know when they are active and produce RTCP packets.

We now take the maximum of 2*jitter and 0.5*packet_spacing for the extra
delay. If jitter is very low, this should prevent unnecessary retransmission
requests to some degree.
