Create an output stream for each media when alternate renditions
are present. Update the manifests for all those streams, and
make sure that typefinding is still done for files smaller than 2KB
such as small WebVTT files.
When fetching a byte-region from a server resource,
adjust the downstream buffer offsets so that downstream
doesn't know. This is because id3demux insists on the
first offset being 0. Later we might strip ID3 headers
entirely and this will be unneeded.
Modify playlist updating to track information across updates
better, although still hackish.
When connection_speed == 0, choose the default variant
not the first one in the (now sorted) variant list, as that
will have the lowest bitrate.
Make M3U8 and GstM3U8MediaFile refcounted. The contents
of it and GstM3U8MediaFile are pretty much immutable
already, but if we make it refcounted we can just
return a ref to the media file from _get_next_fragment()
instead of copying over all fields one-by-one, and then
copying them all into the adaptive stream structure fields again.
Move state from client into m3u8 structure. This will
be useful later when we'll have multiple media playlists
being streamed at the same time, as will be the case with
alternative renditions.
This has the downside that we need to copy over some
state when we switch between variant streams.
The GstM3U8Client structure is gone, and main/current
lists are not directly in hlsdemux. hlsdemux had as
many CLIENT_LOCK/UNLOCK as the m3u8 code anyway...
Don't clear decryption state immediately after
initialising it in the start_fragment. Don't clear
the state of all streams when we want to only clear
the current stream.

Add demuxer instance-wide decryption key cache. The current and
last key url are per-stream, so make a shared cache. Move the
decryption handling into the stream object, and use the shared
cache for the keys.
Prepare hlsdemux for more than one single stream. Currently hlsdemux
assumes there'll only ever be one stream and most of the stream-specific
state is actually in the hlsdemux structure. Add a stream subclass
instead and move some stream-specific members there instead.
When switching fragments we don't want to keep any data around from the last
one, and also forget about all data when doing flushing seeks or selecting new
bitrates.

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

Properly handle snap flags during reverse seeking. In this case
the before/after are also reversed, so handle those as such.
For example: with a sequence of 1s fragments:
|-- 0 --|-- 1 --|-- 2 --|-- 3 --|
If you seek to 1.5s it is inside fragment 1. With reverse and
snap-before: should play from the end of fragment 1
snap-after: should play from the end of fragment 0
The URI attribute from the EXT-X-KEY tag and the URI attribute from the
EXT-X-I-FRAMES-ONLY tag are both quoted-string attibutes that have their
quotation marks removed during parsing. The CODECS attribute of the
EXT-X-STREAM-INF is also a quoted-string attribute, but this attribute
was not being un-quoted.
This commit changes the parser to always unquote all quoted-string
attributes and adjusts the unit tests to this new bevahiour for the
CODECS attribute.
An additional test is added to check that parsing of all of the fields
in the EXT-X-STREAM tag is correct, including those that contain comma
characters.

Clear error as soon as we determine that the download failed,
otherwise there are code paths where we might return without
clearing it ever, which would leak the GError then. Also, we
can pass a NULL GError pointer to _fetch_uri(), so just do that
instead of passing one that we're going to just free again
right away anyway.
Setting the seek flags to GST_SEEK_FLAG_SNAP_* will change the seek
target time to a segment boundary.

As HLS does not provide any way of knowing the server's clock, and we do
buffering of "live" streams, at some point we will fall behind the server in
many cases and would have to advance to a fragment that is not in the playlist
anymore.
Previously we would've just resynced to the next oldest fragment that is still
there, but this causes problems as from this point onwards we would always
fall off the playlist again all the time.
Instead we now resync and move to the 3rd newest fragment like we would do
when starting playback of a live stream.

If connection speed is set, playlist according
to connection speed is selected as current playlist.
Problem is that the current variant of main playlist still
points to previously set variant.
If previously set variant doesn't correspond to current
playlist, then it causes unnecessary change of playlist
to the same playlist after first fragment is downloaded,
because of not updated current variant.
To fix this, we need to make sure that current variant
of main playlist corresponds to the current playlist

Don't jump backward to 3 files from the end of the playlist
when switching variants - it just means we downloaded
fragments fast and caught up to the end of the playlist.
Disable that by treating a variant switch as a playlist
update, not a restart due to a seek or so.
If the stream is discont, we must provide a timestamp in any case. Elements
like tsdemux are not going to output anything if we give a NONE timestamp
after a discont.
Also marking a stream as discont if a playlist change was not successful would
lead to the above situation, but in that case we are not required at all to
mark the stream discont as we're still at the old playlist.
If a (master) playlist contains a variant list entry without a
URI then during parsing of the next variant list entry we are
a) leaking the entry we're currently parsing (new_list), and
b) free'ing the pointer to the previous list entry (list) without
updating the pointer.
Hence when then adding the URI for the latest parsed entry, incorrect
information is stored, as the information is used from 'list' which
is not valid memory anymore, also leading to crashes.
Fix this by correctly storing the new variant list entry pointer
as needed.

Nicer to read, two lines of code less, and also the callback
function should've been a GCompareFunc that returns a gint
and not a boolean (it did work correctly, was just confusing).
In order to ensure the sequence_position will always be consistently updated,
store the current file duration.
This way, when we advance, we can always increment the position based on what
was previously outputted.
