The initial goal was to support the case where we are paused watching a live
stream, and when we resume we can no longer resume from the previously
downloaded position. In that case we internally do a flushing seek back to the
"current live head position". This was also extended since to be able to
handle (utterly broken) servers when we can't really figure out where we are
anymore and therefore trigger that lost sync so we can try to get back on our
feet.
This does fix the issue... but results in spurious FLUSH_{START|STOP} events
being sent downstream. While that's fine for regular playback scenarios, it's a
bit of a wild scenario since a lot of pipelines/applications don't expect such
events when it wasn't triggered by downstream/application.

When seeking is handled by the collection posting thread, there is a possibility
that some leftover data will be pushed by the stream thread.
Properly detect and reject those early segments (and buffers) by comparing it to
the main segment seqnum

Rename track_dequeue_data_locked() to
gst_adaptive_demux_track_dequeue_data_locked(), since it's non-static.
Make find_stream_for_track_locked() static since it's only used in the main
gstadaptivedemux.c file.

Change the way streams are woken up to download more data.
Instead of checking the level on tracks that are being
output as data is dequeued, calculate a 'wakeup time'
at which it should download more data, and wake up
the stream when the global output position crosses
that threshold.
For efficiency, compute the earliest wakeup time
for all streams and store it on the period, so the
output loop can quickly check only a single value
to decide if something needs waking up.
Does the same buffering as the previous method,
but ensures that as we approach the end of
one period, the next period continues incrementally
downloading data so that it is fully buffered when
the period starts.
Fixes issues with multi-period VOD content where
download of the second period resumes only after
the first period is completely drained.

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.
