Some servers can return playlists with "old" media playlists and different
Discont Sequence.
In those cases, the segment stream times would be negative when creating a new
time mapping. In order to properly handle such scenarios, shift the values to
stored accordingly to end up with non-negative reference stream time.

When returning GST_ADAPTIVE_DEMUX_FLOW_RESTART_FRAGMENT
for the first segment data, we might need to requeue the
header.
This was leading to occasional prerolling stalls on
HLS live streams with renditions.

Media playlist updates and fragment downloads happen in an interleaved
fashion. When a media playlist update fails *while* a segment is being
downloaded, this means we lost synchronization.
Properly propagate and handle this

There is now only a single case where we setup the initial playlist to 0, which
is for the very first variant stream.
Rendition streams will have the initial playlist "synchronized" against the
variant stream media playlist.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/-/merge_requests/2839>
Loss of synchronization happens when the updated media playlist has no
relationship to the previous ones. This could happen because of network issues,
server issues, etc...
When this happens, we take no chance and "reset" ourselves so that we can "seek
back to live" against the new updated playlists.
Since this happens at the "media playlist update" level, make sure the custom
flow return is propagated up.

* When dealing with rendition streams, we attempt to synchronize the media
playlist against the variant stream. This helps with speeding up the correct
initial fragment search and avoids issues when streams at activated at a much
later time.
* Also add checks for variant stream existence before attempting to use them
Part-of: <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/-/merge_requests/2679>
When matching playlists, there is a possibility that rendition streams will not
have been updated in time (for example because that stream started later, or
playback was paused). This would cause several playback failures and seeking
failures.
In order to still fall back on our feet, attempt to synchronize that rendition
playlist against the current variant playlist. This will attempt to match the
stream time using SN/DNS/PDT/...

If we have been updating too slowly and have gone out of the current live
window, inform the baseclass accordingly.
This is different from the case where we have been updating quicker than what
the server provides.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/-/merge_requests/2679>
Remove the "pending advance" hack and instead rely on the base stream current
position to track our position (instead of a potentially NULL "current
segment").
Also ensure the media playlists are always refreshed with valid stream time,
even if there is no current segment.

Uses prelude header files with #defines to rename DASH and MSS
symbols duplicated in their old standalone versions.
Also redefines soup-related functions when building it for
adaptivedemux2 to prevent symbol conflicts there.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/-/merge_requests/2534>
In case of per features registration such as the
customizable gstreamer-full library, each
element should check that the soup library can be loaded to
facilitate the element registration.
Initialize the debug categories properly
Part-of: <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/-/merge_requests/2348>
This provides new HLS, DASH and MSS adaptive demuxer elements as a single plugin.
These elements offer many improvements over the legacy elements. They will only
work within a streams-aware context (`urisourcebin`, `uridecodebin3`,
`decodebin3`, `playbin3`, ...).
Stream selection and buffering is handled internally, this allows them to
directly manage the elementary streams and stream selection.
