Matroska does not support changing the stream type and stream properties
after the headers were started to be written, and for example H264
codec_data changes can't be supported.

TOC support in mastroskamux has been deactivated for a couple of years. This commit updates it to recent GstToc evolutions and introduces toc unit tests for both matroska-mux and matroska-demux.
There are two UIDs for Chapters in Matroska's specifications:
- The ChapterUID is a mandatory unsigned integer which internally refers to a given chapter. Except for title & language which use dedicated fields, this UID can also be used to add tags to the Chapter. The tags come in a separate section of the container.
- The ChapterStringUID is an optional UTF-8 string which also uniquely refers to a chapter but from an external perspective. It can act as a "WebVTT cue identifier" which "can be used to reference a specific cue, for example from script or CSS".
During muxing, the ChapterUID is generated and checked for unicity, while the ChapterStringUID receives the user defined UID. In order to be able to refer to chapters from the tags section, we maintain an internal Toc tree with the generated ChapterUID.
When demuxing, the ChapterStringUIDs (if available) are assigned to the GstTocEntries UIDs and an internal toc mimicking the toc is used to keep track of the ChapterUIDs and match the tags with the appropriate GstTocEntries.

... and forward colorimetry to downstream. The Colour element describes
various color information (similar to 'colr' box in isobmff).
Note that, due to the comparatively limited syntax for color information
in vpx codecs, the color information in mkv/wemb container level
should be used for sophisticated color handling (e.g., HDR video).

Re-arrange order of index entry struct members to avoid padding
bytes in the middle of the struct, thus potentially reducing the
overall size of the struct and reducing memory used by the index.
On Linux x86_64 the size goes down from 32 bytes to 24 bytes for
each index entry.
Similar to what was done in adaptivedemux, ignore seek
events we've already handled - such as when they are received
on every srcpad of files with lots of streams.
With Xiph codecs the stream header buffers are both in the caps and are
usually also at the beginning of each input stream, but it's perfectly
possible that the input stream does not have the stream header buffers
inline in the data. Matroskamux would drop the first N buffers assuming
they're stream headers, but this meant it would drop actual payload data
when the stream didn't contain the stream headers inline. Fix this by
only dropping leading buffers if they're flagged as stream headers. This
fixes issues with streams that are being tapped into after streaming
has started.

After finding a cluster id in the byte reader, we skip ahead the reader
position by one further byte to be able to continue searching from there
inside the same chunk if the cluster candidate was a false positive.
We have to accomodate for that additional byte when resuming the search,
otherwise all following pulls are off-by-one for every resume and we run
into an assertion.
Modify the caps string to allow width and height greater than 4096.
There is no need to restrict it since the matroska format allows the
width and height values to be up to eight bytes long.

Highlights of the features provided are:
* Faster builds on Linux (~40-50% faster)
* The ability to build with MSVC on Windows
* Generate Visual Studio project files
* Generate XCode project files
* Much faster builds on Windows (on-par with Linux)
* Seriously fast configure and building on embedded
... and many more. For more details see:

Building with Meson should work on both Linux and Windows, but may
need a few more tweaks on other operating systems.
We should add all pads, no matter if they are linked or active or not at this
point. Skipping some that are not will cause different behaviour than with
other muxers.
This can only happen if a) upstream somehow gets around the CAPS event failing
or b) there never being any CAPS event.
The following code assumes that all pads have a codec-id.

matroskademux would take the GST_OBJECT_LOCK in
- gst_matroska_demux_push_codec_data_all()
- gst_matroska_demux_query()
Some parse element such as FLAC checks upstream seekability, and
there is some use cases that matroska-demux is linked to a parse element
(e.g.,FLAC format) without intermediate elements (e.g., queue).
In this case, matroska-demux never returns from _push_codec_data_all()
because the parser can return only after it receives the response to
the upstream query, but that's not going to happen because it's
deadlocked.
Elements must not hold the object lock whilst pushing out events
or data.
