ISDB-T and ISDB-Tb (the Brazilian variant) are the
terrestial DTV standards used by Japan, Philippines,
Maldives, Thailand, most South American countries
and Botswana. Changeset adds the set of previously
missing (and required) ISDB-T parameters, adapter
and frontend setup logic and proxies the new
properties on dvbbasebin.
Tested to work with the live aerial broadcast by
Tv Paraíba HD in Campina Grande (Brazil).

Allows proper tuning around high/low band boundaries when using
non "standard" LNBs.
Not all LNBs (Low noise block down converters) are made equal.
This is particularly true for universal LNBFs, where, even though
there are seemingly standard values for the local oscillator
frequencies, these can vary from manufacturer to manufacturer
and LNB model. Change also proxies the new LNB properties in
dvbbasebin.

The pixel buffer release callback is called if the void *
dataPtr given to the CVPixelBufferCreateWithPlanarBytes
is not NULL.
According to the documentation dataPtr is supposed to be a
"plane description block" but no specific type is given.

It was previously a mix and match of both variants, introducing just too much
confusion.
The prefix are from now on:
* GstMpegts for structures and type names (and not GstMpegTs)
* gst_mpegts_ for functions (and not gst_mpeg_ts_)
* GST_MPEGTS_ for enums/flags (and not GST_MPEG_TS_)
* GST_TYPE_MPEGTS_ for types (and not GST_TYPE_MPEG_TS_)
The rationale for chosing that is:
* the namespace is shorter/direct (it's mpegts, not mpeg_ts nor mpeg-ts)
* the namespace is one word under Gst
* it's shorter (yah)
Interestingly, Coverity implies that close takes an unsigned
argument, while my close(2) man page shows it taking a signed
argument. I guess it may be platforms specific.

New approach attempts to be more accurate by measuring
the elapsed time by iteration. Also:
* Use a 10 seconds default timeout and a half a second
polling step. New values should better match the tuning
process on real-life scenarios.
* Correct elapsed_time computation.
* Add _retry_ioctl() to avoid bailing out on temporary
ioctl EINTR failures (no need to check for EAGAIN cause
we are opening the frontend on blocking mode)
* Small corrections to fail condition handling
Check if libnativehelper is loaded in the process and if
it has these awful wrappers for JNI_CreateJavaVM and
JNI_GetCreatedJavaVMs that crash the app if you don't
create a JniInvocation instance first. If it isn't we
just fail here and don't initialize anything.
See this code for reference:
https://android.googlesource.com/platform/libnativehelper/+/master/JniInvocation.cpp
* Drop remaining sleep() logic in favor of polling
* Use best guess delivery system if none is set
* Make tuning/locking timeout configurable
* Add signals for tuning start, done and fail
* Drop gst_dvbsrc_frontend_status(). It was used only
for signal LOCK checking. This is now part of the
tuning/locking loop
* Break up frontend configuration and tuning
on separate functions
Plus:
* Add some more useful DEBUG/TRACE messages
* Move over misplaced DVB API message
* Fix wrong comment for default DVB buffer size (http://linuxtv.org/downloads/v4l-dvb-apis/dmx_fcalls.html#DMX_SET_BUFFER_SIZE)

On Samsung Galaxy S4 it is impossible to have more than one
hardware decoder at the same time. If we do not release it
explicitly the GC only releases it whenever the whole application
is finished not whenever the activity is finished and thus a player
will not be able to work correctly
