Blocking in change_state() is a recipe for disaster, even more so if
we wait for another thread that also calls into various element API and
could then lead to deadlocks on e.g. the state lock.
Returning FALSE because we drop an event means that
internal sources like qtdemux might throw an error
and break the whole pipeline. The only time it can
happen is either flushing or shutdown, and those
will be handled anyway.
A sparse stream's ending timestamp can be considerably smaller
than the ending timestamps of the other streams, which can lead
to skipping considerable time from the next part.

Used signed calculations when measuring the max_ts of an input
fragment, so as to calculate the correct duration and offset
when buffers have timestamps preceding their segment
Make sure the state of the parser is set to
collecting streams before chaining up to the
parent change_state() method, to close a
small window that can cause playback to
never commence.
When one part moves ahead of the others - due to excessive
downstream queueing, or really small input files - then
we can end up activating parts more than once. That can lead to
effects like shutting down pad tasks prematurely.

Don't hold the main splitmux part lock over
the parent state change function, as it prevents
posting error messages that happen. Since the purpose
is to prevent typefinding from proceeding, use a
separate mutex just for that.
Fix 2 startup races when things happen too quickly, and 1
at shutdown by holding a ref to the pads in use until the
loop functions exit.
Handle errors activating file parts and publish them on
the bus.

When deciding whether it's time to switch to a new file, take into
account data that's been released for pushing, but hasn't yet
been pushed - because downstream is slow or the threads haven't been
scheduled.
Fixes a race in the unit test and probably in practice - sometimes
failing to switch when it should for an extra GOP or two.
Also fix a problem in splitmuxsrc where playback sometimes
stalls at startup if types are found too quickly.

Handle the case where a short file reaches EOS while we're still
waiting for no-more-pads, and make sure we continue to the internal
READY state for real playback to work properly later.
Implement 2 new elements - splitmuxsink and splitmuxsrc.
splitmuxsink is a bin which wraps a muxer and takes 1 video stream,
plus audio/subtitle streams, and starts a new file
whenever necessary to avoid overrunning a threshold of either bytes
or time. New files are started at a keyframe, and corresponding audio
and subtitle streams are split at packet boundaries to match
video GOP timestamps.
splitmuxsrc is a corresponding source element which handles
the splitmux:// URL and plays back all component files,
reconstructing the original elementary streams as it goes.
