This is ad adaptation of a Pexip patch for dealing with spurious
GstRTPPacketLost events caused by lost ulpfec packets: as FEC packets
under that scheme are spliced in the same sequence domain as the media
packets, it is not generally possible to determine whether a lost packet
was a FEC packet or a media packet.
When upstreaming pexip's ulpfec patches, we decided to drop all lost
events at the base depayloader level, and where the original patch
from pexip was making use of picture ids and marker bits to determine
whether a packet should be forwarded, this patch makes use of those
to determine whether they should be dropped instead (by removing their
might-have-been-fec field).
Spurious lost events coming out of the depayloader can cause the
decoder to stop decoding until the next keyframe and / or request a new
keyframe, and while this is not desirable it makes sense to forward
that information when we have other means to determine whether a lost
packet was indeed a FEC packet, as is the case with VP8 / VP9 payloads
when they carry a picture id.

The AVC codec_data has a flaw that it can only accomodate
31 SPS headers, even though H.264 can have 32, and 255 PPS,
when there can be 256 in H.264. When streaming RTP some
clients like to cycle through SPS/PPS ids when changing
configuration and can eventually accumulate a full set.
In that case, we have no choice but to discard one (oldest)
entry, or else the count written into the codec_data is wrong
and downstream decoding failures ensue.

Add property to set the initial value for picture-id. RFC7741 says
that picture-id MAY be initialized to a random value, thus it's also
valid to simply set it to a fixed initial value. A fixed value is very
useful for testing.
Default behavior is not changed.

If we have not received a FU with a start bit set, any subsequent FU
data is not useful at all and would result in an invalid stream.
This case is constructed from multiple requirements in
RFC 3984 Section 5.8 and RFC 7798 Section 4.4.3. Following are excerpts
from RFC 3984 but RFC 7798 contains similar language.
The FU in a single FU case is forbidden:
A fragmented NAL unit MUST NOT be transmitted in one FU; i.e., the
Start bit and End bit MUST NOT both be set to one in the same FU
header.
and dropping is possible:
If a fragmentation unit is lost, the receiver SHOULD discard all
following fragmentation units in transmission order corresponding to
the same fragmented NAL unit.
The jump in seqnum case is supported by this from the specification
instead of implementing the forbidden_zero_bit mangling:
If a fragmentation unit is lost, the receiver SHOULD discard all
following fragmentation units in transmission order corresponding to
the same fragmented NAL unit.
A receiver in an endpoint or in a MANE MAY aggregate the first n-1
fragments of a NAL unit to an (incomplete) NAL unit, even if fragment
n of that NAL unit is not received. In this case, the
forbidden_zero_bit of the NAL unit MUST be set to one to indicate a
syntax violation.

gst_buffer_map () results in memcopying when a GstBuffer contains
more than one GstMemory.
This has quite an impact on performance on systems with limited amount
of resources. With this patch the whole GstBuffer will not be mapped at
once, instead each individual GstMemory will be iterated and mapped
separately.
There is a use-case for a server to re-payload opus going through it.
Problem was that the payloader requires channels in the caps, but
this is not something the depayloader can parse out of the stream, meaning
caps-negotiation would fail.
Removing the requirement of channels in the template-caps fixes this.
gst_buffer_map () results in memcopying when a GstBuffer contains
more than one GstMemory and when AVC (length-prefixed) alignment is used.
This has quite an impact on performance on systems with limited amount of
resources. With this patch the whole GstBuffer will not be mapped at once,
instead each individual GstMemory will be iterated and mapped separately.
Add parsed=true to output caps, as we always output
whole frames, timestamped and all. Means also that
the output can be decoded by avdec_mjpeg wihout
plugging an extra parser (which has no rank).
By passing `NULL` to `g_signal_new` instead of a marshaller, GLib will
actually internally optimize the signal (if the marshaller is available
in GLib itself) by also setting the valist marshaller. This makes the
signal emission a bit more performant than the regular marshalling,
which still needs to box into `GValue` and call libffi in case of a
generic marshaller.
Note that for custom marshallers, one would use
`g_signal_set_va_marshaller()` with the valist marshaller instead.
If VP8 is not encoded with error resilience enabled then any packet loss
causes very bad artefacts when decoding and waiting for the next
keyframe instead improves user experience considerably.
adjust/port from rtph264pay and allow sending the configuration data at
every IDR
The payloader was stripping the configuration data when the
config-interval was set to 0. The code was written in such a way !(a >
0) that it stripped the config when it was set at -1 (send config_data
as soon as possible).
This resulted in some MPEG4 streams where no GOP/VOP-I was detected to
be sent out without configuration.
