In order to flush out multiqueue, we send again a STREAM_START and
then a EOS event.
The problem was that was that we might end up pushing out on the
output of multiqueue (and therefore decodebin3) a series of:
* EOS / STREAM_START / EOS
Apart from the uglyness of such output, If decodebin3 is used with
elements such as concat on their output, they might potentially
block on that second STREAM_START.
In order to make sure we don't end up in that situation we send
a custom STREAM_START event when refreshing multiqueue (which we
drop on the output) and we don't special case EOS events on streams
on which we already got EOS.
At worst we now end up sending at most two EOS on the output of
multiqueue (and decodebin3).
Similar in vein to the playbin2 architecture except that uridecodebin3
are prerolled much earlier and all streams of the same type are
fed through a 'concat' element.
This keeps the philosphy of having all elements connected as soon
as possible.
The 'about-to-finish' signal is emitted whenever one of the uridecodebin
is about to finish, allowing the users to set the next uri/suburi.
The notion of a group being active has changed. It now means that the
uridecodebin3 has been activated, but doesn't mean it is the one
currently being outputted by the sinks (i.e. curr_group and next_group).
This is done via detecting GST_MESSAGE_STREAM_START emission by playsink
and figuring out which group is really playing.
When the current group changes, a new thread is started to deactivate
the previous one and optionnaly fire 'about-to-finish'.
Apologies for the big commit, but it wasn't really possible to split it
in anything smaller.
* Switch to uridecodebin3 instead of managing urisourcebin and decodebin3
ourselves. No major architectural change with this.
* Reconfigure sinks/outputs when needed. This is possible thanks to the
various streams-related API. Instead of blocking new pads and waiting
for a (fake) no-more-pads to decide what to connect, we instead reconfigure
playsink and the combiners to whatever types are currently selected. All of
this is done in reconfigure_output().
New pads are immediately connected to (combiners and) sinks, allowing
immediate negotiation and usage.
* Since elements are always connected, the "cached-duration" feature is gone
and queries can reach the target elements.
* The auto-plugging related code is currently disabled entirely until
we get the new proper API.
* Store collections at the GstSourceGroup level and not globally
* And more comments a bit everywhere
NOTE: gapless is still not functional, but this opens the way to be able
to handle it in a streams-aware fashion (where several uridecodebin3 can
be active at the same time).
With push-based sources, urisourcebin will emit this signal when
the stream has been fully consumed.
This signal can be used to know when the source is done providing
data.
If select-stream event was send to playbin3 as missing any GstStream of ES type
(V or A or TEX) of collection then, playbin will access to invalid address of
GstStream due to invalid index limit. This caused SIGSEGV.

If we are shutting down, don't spawn a cleanup thread to cleanup old
groups and instead queue them to be cleaned up in the state change
thread.
This avoids (hopefully for good) having a race between the state change
thread and other threads trying to deactivate elements/pads.
Deactivating pads from two threads isn't 100% MT-safe. There is a
slim chance that the GstPadActivateFunc might be called twice with
the same values (in this case from the cleanup thread *and* from
the GstElement change_state function when going from PAUSED to READY).
In order to avoid that, call any existing cleanup function *before*
calling the parent change_state implementation on downwards state
changes.
When deactivating pads, we need to ensure that the streaming threads
going through the pads we wish to deactivate can cleanly return.
Failure to do that would result in the streaming locks of those
pads never being released. The end result would be a deadlock
when stopping decodebin2.
In order to avoid that situation, release the "dyn" lock around
the deactivation code. And refactor the code to cope with the
list of blocked pads having potentially changed when re-acquiring
the lock.
We have a dedicated one-shot thread to handle cleanup of old groups.
While this is a good idea. It's an even better idea to make sure
that thread is *completed* before the parsebin element to which
it is related isn't freed/gone.
* There can only be one cleanup thread happening at any point in time.
If there is already one, we wait for the previous one to finish.
* When shutting down (NULL=>READY) make sure the thread is finished

Instead of emitting 'drained' whenever every single chain is drained
(which would result in plenty of signal emission, and would also
occur when switching groups), only emit it when the top-level chain
is drained.
Furthermore, mark unknown (and therefore unexposed) pads as drained
since we'll never get EOS on them.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=787367
If we can expose the main chain, recheck whether we are shutting
down or not.
decodebin2 might have been set to READY/NULL during the attempt
to expose, which would cause it to fail ... but it is not a fatal
issue.
By select-streams event, current implementation of decodebin3
supports deactivate output stream (i.e., decoder element)
in reassign slot(), but cannot activate any slot without track change.

Application might choose only specific type among all available types
using select-streams event. In this case, it is desired that reconfigure
of playsink to clear unused stream path.

Use the intended sequence for re-using elements:
* EOS
* STREAM_START if element is to be re-used
This avoids having elements (such as queue/multiqueue/queue2) not
properly resetting themselves.
When delaying EOS propagation (because we want to wait until all
streams of a group are done for example), we re-trigger them by
first sending the cached STREAM_START and then EOS (which will
cause elements to re-set themselves if needed and accept new
buffers/events).

It is forwarding messages to the playbin bus, thus forwarding messages
that contain a floating reference to the application. This generally
makes bindings unhappy, we must not leak floating references to them.
Do not remove other parsebin's input streams. It will cause unexpected
removal of any input streams in multi-parsebin use case.
Basically, the purpose of blocking buffers is similar to checking
no-more-pads of chain/group. That is, it gives hint to know the timing
to remove old (EOSed) streams of the parsebin and to add/reuse slots
for new input streams. But, that doesn't mean that we need to remove
other parsebin's EOSed stream. Each parsebin has most likely its
own streaming thread and therefore EOSed time can be much different.
(i.e., much early EOS of subtitle only parsebin)
