Don't rely on core implementation details, which are private and
may change. It's also not needed here, the performance impact is
close to none. Also copy buffer before changing its metadata.
Get rid of some indirections and inefficiencies,
just payload things directly which gives us more
control over what memory is allocated where and
how and makes things much simpler. In particular,
we can now allocate the payload header plus the
GstMemory to represent it in one go.
Get rid of now-useless packetizer struct and just
call internal functions directly. Also remove
version property which is now defunct, not least
because we create the packetizer with the
version in the init function before a version
can be set.
Add function to calculate a payload CRC across multiple memories
so we don't have to merge buffers with multiple memories just to
calculate the CRC. Also make CRC calculation function static,
since it's not used outside dataprotocol.h and move special-casing
of length = 0 -> CRC = 0 into CRC function (from caller).
Perhaps more importantly, since payload CRC is off by default:
don't map buffer (and possibly merge memories in the process)
if we are not going to use it to calculate a CRC anyway.
This can happen if this is a live pipeline and no source produced any buffer
and sent no caps until the an output buffer should've been produced according
to the latency.
When this is TRUE, we really have to produce output. This happens
in live mixing mode when we have to output something for the current
time, no matter if we have enough input or not.
Some video bitstreams report a too restrictive set of profiles. If a video
decoder was to strictly follow the indicated profile, it wouldn't support that
stream, whereas it could in theory and in practice. So we should relax the
profile restriction for allowing the decoder to get connected with parser.

When dealing with random-access content (such as files), we initially
search for the last PCR in order to figure out duration and to handle
other position estimation such as those used in seeking.
Previously, the code looking for that last PCR would search in the last
640kB of the file going forward, and stop at the first PCR encountered.
The problem with that was two-fold:
* It wouldn't really be the last PCR (it would be the first one within
those last 640kB. In case of VBR files, this would put off duration
and seek code slightly.
* It would fail on files with bitrates higher than 52Mbit/s (not common)
Instead this patch modifies that code by:
* Scanning over the last 2048kB (allows to cope with streams up to 160Mbit/s)
* Starts by the end of the file, going over chunks of 300 MPEG-TS packets
* Doesn't stop at the first PCR detected in a chunk, but instead records all
of them, and only stop searching if there was "at least" one PCR within
that chunk
This should improve duration reporting and seeking operations on VBR files

Sometimes rawparse does not handle the seeking query
properly, the rawparse should send the query upstream
first. For example, upstream could support seeking in
TIME format (but not in BYTE format), so the BYTE format
seeking query that rawparse sends in push mode would
fail.

Read PNG data chunk in one go by letting the parser
base class know the size we need, so that it doesn't
drip-feed us small chunks of data (causing a lot of
reallocs and memcpy in the process) until we have
everything.
Improves parsing performance of very large PNG files
(65MB) from ~13 seconds to a couple of millisecs.
