The start of each segment is relative to the Period start, minus
the presentation time offset.
As specified in section 5.3.9.6 of the MPEG DASH specification:
The value of the @t attribute minus the value of the
@presentationTimeOffset specifies the MPD start time of
the first Segment in the series.
dashdemux was not taking account of presentationTimeOffset and in
some methods was not taking into account the Period start time.
This commit modifies the segment->start value to always be
relative to the MPD start time (zero for VOD,
availabilityStartTime for live streams). This makes all uses of
the segment list consistent.
Fixes#841
The previous code was handling both as separate steps and then tried to
combine the results, but this resulted in all kinds of bugs which showed
themselves as failures during seeking and offset tracking getting wrong.
This also showed itself with gst-validate on the sample stream.
The rewritten code now parses everything in one go and tracks the
current offset only once, and as a side effect simplifies the code a
lot.
Also added is detection of SIDX that point to other SIDX instead of
actual media segments, e.g. with this stream:
http://dash.akamaized.net/dash264/TestCases/1a/sony/SNE_DASH_SD_CASE1A_REVISED.mpd
Support for this will have to be added at some point but that should
also be easier with the rewritten code.

Spec 5.3.9.2 is saying about the existence of duration and SegmentTimeline
only for Representation level. Other level such as Period or AdaptationSet
might not have the attributes.

For duration queries on live streams, adaptivedemux ignores the query.
The problem then is that the query is answered by the downstream
qtdemux element, with the duration of the currently passing fragment.
This commit changes the behaviour of adaptivedemux to answer the duration
queries for live streams, returning GST_CLOCK_TIME_NONE.

The way how strchr() was called here, it could easily read after the end
of the string. Use g_ascii_isspace() instead.
Detected by asan in the unit test.
We set it to TRUE here, but later we set it to TRUE again anyway if the
parsing actually succeeded at this point. Let's keep the second one.
CID 1374360.
Section 5.3.3 in ISO/IEC 23009-1:2014 defines that invalid references
(e.g., invalide URI or cannot be resolved) specified by "@xlink:href" attribute
shall be removed. That means, we should play it without error,
and just ignore the corresponding element.
It's similar to "urn:mpeg:dash:resolve-to-zero:2013".

External xml could have empty, one or multiple top-level "Period" elements.
Because xml parser cannot parse the multiple top-level elements
(i.e., no root element), we need to wrap a xml in order to make root element.

PlayReady being the one of the few DRM formats encoding its data with
base64 it was not consistent to have a special case for this. So the
base64 decoding operation now needs to be done by the protection event
consumer, if needed.

The gst_dash_demux_get_live_seek_range () function returns a stop value
that is beyond the available range. The functions
gst_mpd_client_check_time_position() and
gst_mpd_client_get_next_segment_availability_end_time() in
gstmpdparser.c include the segment duration when checking if a segment
is available. The gst_dash_demux_get_live_seek_range() function
in gstdashdemux.c ignores the segment duration.
According to the DASH specification, if maxSegmentDuration is not present,
then the maximum Segment duration is the maximum duration of any Segment
documented in the MPD.

The function actually returns the segment availability start time (as defined by the standard).
That is at the end of the segment, but it is called availability start time.
Availability end time is something else (the time when the segment is no longer
available on the server). The function name was misleading.

Adaptive demuxers need to start downloading from specific positions
(fragments) for every stream, this means that all streams can snap-seek
to a different position when requested. Snap seeking in this case will
be done in 2 steps:
1) do the snap seeking on the pad that received the seek event and
get the final position
2) use this position to do a regular seek on the other streams to
make sure they all start from the same position
More arguments were added to the stream_seek function, allowing better control
of how seeking is done. Knowing the flags and the playback direction allows
subclasses to handle snap-seeking.
And also adds a new return parameter to inform of the final
selected seeking position that is used to align the other streams.
