As per discussed in bug #725383, it doesn't make much sense to default
to FALSE in the "iradio-mode" property. Better, let's sent the header
by default and just ignore headers that are not understood, if so.

hlsdemux causes a null pointer dereference if the media playlist
does not contain any media files. The gst_m3u8_client_get_duration
function assumes that demux->client->current->files is valid when
computing duration.
gst_m3u8_client_update needed to be modified to check for the
case of downloading an M3U8 file that doesn't contain any media
files, and returning an error to gsthlsdemux.c
This bug can be reproduced by creating a master m3u8 file that
contains one media playlist that points back to the master m3u8
file. For example create a file called bug725134.m3u8:
#EXTM3U
#EXT-X-VERSION:4
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=1, BANDWIDTH=1251135, CODECS="avc1.42001f mp4a.40.2", RESOLUTION=640x352
bug725134.m3u8

Keep a list of current global tags around and push them
whenever a new stream is started. Also convert all stream
specific tags to global as they are stream specific for
the container, so they are global for the streams from
within that container.

hlsdemux does not check for the '"' character in #EXT-X-STREAM-INF
attributes. The CODECS parameter is an example of an attribute
that might use the '"' symbol and might contain a ',' character
inside this quoted string.
For example: CODECS="avc1.77.30, mp4a.40.2"
hlsdemux does not correctly parse the RESOLUTION attribute, it
assumes that an '=' character is used to delineate the width
and height values, but the HLS RFC states that a 'x' character
must be used as the delimiter between width and height.

Tests for PAT, PMT, and NIT
Creates a new table, and populates it with descriptors.
Parses the newly created tables, and checks the data.
Creates a GstMpegTsSection from the tables, and packetize the sections.
The packetized section data is byte-wise compared to a static byte array

...instead of adding them from the start of playlist every time. This
among other things fixes timestamps for live streams, where the playlist
is some kind of ringbuffer of fragments and thus adding from the beginning
of the playlist will miss the past fragments.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=724983
We now download fragments as fast as possible and push them downstream
while another thread is just responsible for updating live playlists
every now and then.
This simplifies the code a lot and together with the new buffering
mode for adaptive streams in multiqueue makes streams start much faster.
Also simplify threading a bit and hopefully make the GstTask usage safer.
