When running in pull mode (for e.g. mp3 reading),
baseparse currently reads 64KB from upstream, then mp3parse
consumes typically around 417/418 bytes of it. Then
on the next loop, it will read a full fresh 64KB again,
which is a big waste.
Fix the read loop to use the available cache buffer first
before going for more data, until the cache drops to < 1KB.
Fixes https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/issues/518
Otherwise baseparse will consider empty streams to be an error while
an empty stream is a valid scenario. With this patch, errors would
only be emitted if the parser received data but wasn't able to
produce any output from it.
This change is only for push-mode operation as in pull mode an
empty file can be considered an error for the one driving the
pipeline
Includes a unit test for it

Baseparse stores buffers for reverse playback to push on the next
DISCONT, the issue was that it wouldn't ever check for a discont
on passthrough mode as it skips all real parsing. This test
was create to verify this issue and prevent it from happening again
