Seekability, like duration, etc is unlikely to change (frequently), and
the default assumption covers most cases, so let subclass set when needed.
At the same time, allow subclass to indicate if it has seek-metadata (table)
available, and possibly have it provide an average bitrate.
This allows the child class to chain its event handler with
GstBaseParse, so that subclasses don't have to duplicate all the default
event handling logic.

We wait to parse a minimum number of frames (10, arbitrarily) before
emiting bitrate tags so that our early estimates are not wildly
inaccurate for streams that start with a silence. If the stream ends
before that, we just emit the tags anyway.
While it _would_ be nicer to be specify the threshold to start pushing
the tags in terms of duration, this would introduce more complexity than
this merits.

This makes baseparse keep a running average of the stream bitrate, as
well as the minimum and maximum bitrates. Subclasses can override a
vfunc to make sure that per-frame overhead from the container is not
accounted for in the bitrate calculation.
We take care not to override the bitrate, minimum-bitrate, and
maximum-bitrate tags if they have been posted upstream. We also
rate-limit the emission of bitrate so that it is only triggered by a
change of >10 kbps.
Perform sanity check on type of seek, and only perform one that is
appropriately supported. Adjust downstream newsegment event
to first buffer timestamp that is sent downstream.
In particular, consider DISCONT == !sync, and allow subclass to query
sync state, as it may want to perform additional checks depending
on whether sync was achieved earlier on.
Also arrange for subclass to query whether leftover data is being drained.
In particular, (optionally) provide baseparse with a notion of frames per second
(and therefore also frame duration) and have it track frame and byte counts.
This way, subclass can provide baseparse with fps and have it provide default
buffer time metadata and conversions, though subclass can still install
callbacks to handle such itself.
