From a high level perspective, the new process for seeking h264
streams is as follows:
1) Rewind the stream until we find the first I-slice of a frame,
and mark its offset in the stream.
2) Rewind the stream until we find SPS and PPS informations,
to make sure the subsequent parser is up to date.
3) Accumulate optionnal SEI NAL units on the way.
4) Push the SPS, PPS and SEI units before the new keyframe.

Since all the other timestamp tracking now gets reset on a discont,
it makes sense to wait for a PCR and timestamp buffers like when
playback first starts
Due to mpegts streaming nature some pads are created but are only added
later to the element. This can cause a scenario where the first stream
doesn't have an available decoder (while the next ones still pending
would have) and tsdemux will fail with not-linked as the first stream
added wouldn't be linked.
To avoid this tsdemux needs to add pads to the flowcombiner
when they are created instead of only when adding them to the
element.
gst_ts_demux_push_pending_data() will check if it now can activate the
stream and add the pad, we don't have to check that ourselves.
Fixes playback of very short MPEG TS files.
Apart from just adding detection of the proper stream type, we also need to only
output the first substream (0x71) which contains the core substream.
While this does not provide *full* DTS-HD support (since it will miss the complementary
substreams), it will still work in the way legacy (non-DTS-HD) bluray players would work.

Keep a list of current global tags around and push them
whenever a new stream is started. Also convert all stream
specific tags to global as they are stream specific for
the container, so they are global for the streams from
within that container.

It is quite possible that we might get PTS/DTS before the first
PCR/Offset observation.
In order to end up with valid timestamp we wait until at least one
stream was able to get a proper running-time for any PTS/DTS.
Until then, we queue up the pending buffers to push out.
Once we see a first valid timestamp, we re-evaluate the amount of
running-time elapsed (based on returned inital running-time and amount
of data/DTS queued up) for any given stream.
Taking the biggest amount of elapsed time, we set that on the packetizer
as the initial offset and recalculate all pending buffers running-time
PTS/DTS.
Note: The buffer queueing system can also be used later on for the
dvb fast start proposal (where we queue up all stream packets before
seeing PAT/PMT and then push them once we know if they belong to the
chosen program).
ATSC ac3 streams are always guaranteed to be AC3 if EAC3 descriptor
is not present
If stream registration id is 'AC-3' then it's also guaranteed to be AC3.
Finally if AC3 descriptor is present it's guaranteed to be AC3.
Only silences a warning, but still.
The new seek handling re-creates the segment time information once it
has enough information after a seek.
The problem was that we'd completely ignore the requested rate. So store
that and use it in the newly created segment.

The program_number attribute was overloaded, trying to indicate both
the currently playing program, and the program requested via the
"program-number" property. The end result was that setting the
property didn't work (see #690934).
I added a new requested_program_number field rather than reviving the
current_program_number field because it seemed this would result in
fewer changes overall and be less confusing. It breaks symmetry with
the "program-number" property, but it retains parallels with the likes
of program->program_number.
Because gst_ts_demux_reset is called after the properties have been
parsed, requested_program_number is initialised in gst_ts_demux_init.
Whether this is exactly the right place, I don't know.
Setting the program-number property does not affect which program
is actually being demuxed.
Moving the initialization of the program_number from
gst_ts_demux_reset to gst_ts_demux_init seems to fix this issue.

* Avoids handling twice the same seek (can happen with playbin and files
with subtitles)
* Set the sequence number of the segment event to the sequence number of
the seek event that generated it (-1 for the initial one).
The seeking start time is approximated from the seek offset in bytes
using the accumulated PCR observations, so on a VBR stream there might
be a big difference between the actual PCR and the estimated one after
the seek. This might result in a long wait to skip all out of segments
packets.
Instead we just recalculate the new segment to start at the first PTS
after the seek, so that playback starts immediatly.
Until now we simply ignored those streams (since we couldn't do anything
with it anyway). Now that we have the mpegts library and we offload the
section handling to the application side we can properly identify and
extract them.
By default it is disabled for tsparse and enabled for tsdemux, but there is
a property to change that.
This should open the way to properly handle all private section streams,
including:
* DSM-CC
* MHEG
* Carousel data
* Metadata streams (though I haven't seen any of those in the wild)
* ... And all other specs/protocols making use of those
Partially fixes#560631
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)
