This allows:
* Better duration estimation
* More accurate PCR location
* Overall more accurate running-time location and calculation
Location and values of PCR are recorded in groups (PCROffsetGroup)
with notable PCR/Offset observations in them (when bitrate changed
for example). PCR and offset are stored as 32bit values to
reduce memory usage (they are differences against that group's
first_{pcr|offset}.
Those groups each contain a global PCR offset (pcr_offset) which
indicates how far in the stream that group is.
Whenever new PCR values are observed, we store them in a sliding
window estimator (PCROffsetGroupCurrent).
When a reset/wrapover/gap is detected, we close the current group with
current values and start a new one (the pcr_offset of that new group
is also calculated).
When a notable change in bitrate is observed (+/- 10%), we record
new values in the current group. This is a compromise between
storing all PCR/offset observations and none, while at the same time
providing better information for running-time<=>offset calculation
in VBR streams.
Whenever a new non-contiguous group is start (due to seeking for example)
we re-evaluate the pcr_offset of each groups. This allows detecting as
quickly as possible PCR wrapover/reset.
When wanting to find the offset of a certain running-time, one can
iterate the groups by looking at the pcr_offset (which in essence *is*
the running-time of that group in the overall stream).
Once a group (or neighbouring groups if the running-time is between two
groups) is found, once can use the recorded values to find the most
accurate offset.
Right now this code is only used in pull-mode , but could also
be activated later on for any seekable stream, like live timeshift
with queue2.
Future improvements:
* some heuristics to "compress" the stored values in groups so as to keep
the memory usage down while still keeping a decent amount of notable
points.
* After a seek compare expected and obtained PCR/Offset and if the
difference is too big, re-calculate position with newly observed
values and seek to that more accurate position.
Note that this code will *not* provide keyframe-accurate seeking, but
will allow a much more accurate PCR/running-time/offset location on
any random stream.
For past (observed) values it will be as accurate as can be.
For future values it will be better than the current situation.
Finally the more you seek, the more accurate your positioning will be.
We know we will not overflow 64 bits, therefore just use direct
multiplication/division instead of the scale method (trims usage from
50 instruction calls to 2/3).
We still have some other stream types which haven't been ported, but
we will do so once we have defined the enums in the mpegts library.
Also add some FIXMEs regarding items discovered during analysis
* Only mpeg-ts section packetization remains.
* Improve code to detect duplicated sections as early as possible
* Add FIXME for various issues that need fixing (but are not regressions)

Since there is a conflict between the DCII stream type and BluRay
stream types, moved the processing of BluRay-specific stream types
to the beginning of the function. Only if a BluRay stream type
IS NOT found do we proceed to check the rest of the stream type
identifiers
Previous code was also "sort-of" handling a similar conflict between
BluRay AC3 audio and standard AC3 audio. Moved the special case BluRay
AC3 handling in the main switch statement to the new BluRay-specific
switch.
