When a MSS server hosts a live stream the fragments listed in the
manifest usually don't have accurate timestamps and duration, except
for the first fragment, which additionally stores timing information
for the few upcoming fragments. In this scenario it is useless to
periodically fetch and update the manifest and the fragments list can
be incrementally built by parsing the first/current fragment.

PlayReady being the one of the few DRM formats encoding its data with
base64 it was not consistent to have a special case for this. So the
base64 decoding operation now needs to be done by the protection event
consumer, if needed.

Allows seeking through the available fragments that are still available
on the server as specified by the DVRWindowLength attribute in the
manifest.

And scale the bitrate with the absolute rate (if it's bigger than 1.0) to get
to the real bitrate due to faster playback.
This allowed in my tests to play a stream with 10x speed without buffering as
the lowest bitrate is chosen, instead of staying/selecting the highest bitrate
and then buffering all the time.
It was previously disabled for not very well specified reasons, which seem to
be not valid anymore nowadays.
Adaptive demuxers need to start downloading from specific positions
(fragments) for every stream, this means that all streams can snap-seek
to a different position when requested. Snap seeking in this case will
be done in 2 steps:
1) do the snap seeking on the pad that received the seek event and
get the final position
2) use this position to do a regular seek on the other streams to
make sure they all start from the same position
More arguments were added to the stream_seek function, allowing better control
of how seeking is done. Knowing the flags and the playback direction allows
subclasses to handle snap-seeking.
And also adds a new return parameter to inform of the final
selected seeking position that is used to align the other streams.

Handling the ghostpad and its internal pad was causing more issues
than helping because of their coupled activation/deactivation
actions.
As we have to install custom chain,event and query functions it is
better to use a floating sink pad internally in the demuxer and just
use those pad functions to push through a standard pad in the demuxer
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=757951
Doing the contrary has no effect and the consequence is that playback
will start with the lowest bitrate even if we can already handle
higher bitrate.

Move the property from subclasses to adaptivedemux, it allows
selecing the percentage of the measured bitrate to be used when
selecting stream bitrates
Allows to set a bitrate directly instead of measuring it internally
based on the received chunks. The connection-speed was removed from
mssdemux and hlsdemux as it is now in the base class
If EOS or ERROR happens before the download loop thread has reached its
g_cond_wait() call, then the g_cond_signal doesn't have any effect and
the download loop thread stucks later.

The internal pad still keeps its EOS flag and event as it can be assigned
after the flush-start/stop pair is sent. The EOS is assigned from the streaming
thread so this is racy.
To be sure to clear it, it has to be done after setting the source to READY to
be sure that its streaming thread isn't running.

Refactor mssdemux to remove uridownloader to use an internal
source element which reduces startup latency and provides smaller
buffers for better buffering management downstream
As streams now flow independently, the GstSegment needs to be put
on each stream so they can track the position of each one correctly
instead of being mixed in a single segment
Download and push from the same task, makes code a lot simpler
to maintain. Also pushing from separate threads avoids deadlocking
when gst_pad_push blocks due to downstream queues being full
