Handling the ghostpad and its internal pad was causing more issues
than helping because of their coupled activation/deactivation
actions.
As we have to install custom chain,event and query functions it is
better to use a floating sink pad internally in the demuxer and just
use those pad functions to push through a standard pad in the demuxer

Doing the contrary has no effect and the consequence is that playback
will start with the lowest bitrate even if we can already handle
higher bitrate.

Not doing this can lead the demuxer to attempt downloading fragments
for an invalid start time. The server would then send a HTTP
Precondition failed error, the demuxer would try some more times to
download the invalid fragment and eventually error out.

Move the property from subclasses to adaptivedemux, it allows
selecing the percentage of the measured bitrate to be used when
selecting stream bitrates
Allows to set a bitrate directly instead of measuring it internally
based on the received chunks. The connection-speed was removed from
mssdemux and hlsdemux as it is now in the base class
q->bitrate is a guint64, but G_TYPE_INT may read fewer bits
off the stack, and if we pass more then the NULL sentinel
may not be found at the right place, which in turn might
lead to crashes.

Rework reverse fragment traversing with repetition fields to prevent
NULL pointer deref and avoid never advancing a fragment as the variable
is unsigned and would always be non-negative.
CID #1257627
CID #1257628
Read the "r" attribute from fragments to support fragments nodes
that use repetition to have a shorter Manifest xml.
Instead of doing:
<c d="100" />
<c d="100" />
You can use:
<c d="100" r="2" />
If EOS or ERROR happens before the download loop thread has reached its
g_cond_wait() call, then the g_cond_signal doesn't have any effect and
the download loop thread stucks later.

The internal pad still keeps its EOS flag and event as it can be assigned
after the flush-start/stop pair is sent. The EOS is assigned from the streaming
thread so this is racy.
To be sure to clear it, it has to be done after setting the source to READY to
be sure that its streaming thread isn't running.

Refactor mssdemux to remove uridownloader to use an internal
source element which reduces startup latency and provides smaller
buffers for better buffering management downstream
As streams now flow independently, the GstSegment needs to be put
on each stream so they can track the position of each one correctly
instead of being mixed in a single segment
