For a live mpd, if availabilityStartTime is missing, adaptive demux asserts
with: Unexpected critical/warning: gst_date_time_to_g_date_time: assertion
'datetime != NULL' failed.
This patch improves the error message to:
Unexpected critical/warning: gst_mpd_client_seek_to_time: assertion
'client->mpd_node->availabilityStartTime != NULL' failed

Handling the ghostpad and its internal pad was causing more issues
than helping because of their coupled activation/deactivation
actions.
As we have to install custom chain,event and query functions it is
better to use a floating sink pad internally in the demuxer and just
use those pad functions to push through a standard pad in the demuxer

gst_mpdparser_parse_utctiming_node does not validate the parsed values completely. The following scenarios are incorrectly accepted:
- elements with no schemeIdUri property should be rejected
- elements with unrecognized UTCTiming scheme should be rejected
- elements with empty values should be rejected
The last one triggers a division by 0 in gst_dash_demux_poll_clock_drift:
clock_drift->selected_url = clock_drift->selected_url % g_strv_length (urls);
because it urls is a valid pointer to an empty array.

Dashdemux has set the width and height information from MPD manifest.
Some embedded devices which are not insufficient H/W resources need more information such as framerate
to assign H/W resources. So I suggested that dashdemux also needs to set the framerate information from MDP manifest.

The stream->cur_seg_template is set to the lowest available segment
template (representation or adaptation or period, in this order).
Because the template elements are inherited, the lowest template will
have all the elements the parents had, so there is no need to check the
parent for an element that is not found in the child (eg initialisation
or index).

The standard does not seem to make any particular explicit not
implicit reference to the signedness of durations, and the code
does not rely on such, nor on the negativity of the -1 value
that's used as a placeholder when a duration property is not
present in the XML.

According to the standard:
"SegmentBase, SegmentTemplate and SegmentList shall inherit
attributes and elements from the same element on a higher level.
If the same attribute or element is present on both levels,
the one on the lower level shall take precedence over the one
on the higher level."
gst_mpdparser_parse_segment_list_node will now discard any inherited
segment URLs if the parsed element defines some too.

If MPD@suggestedPresentationDelay is not present in the manifest,
dashdemux selects the fragment closest to the most recently generated
fragment. This causes a playback issue because this choice does not allow
the DASH client to build up any buffer of downloaded fragments without
pausing playback. This is because by definition new fragments appear on
the server in real-time (e.g. if segment duration is 4 seconds, a new
fragment will appear on the server every 4 seconds). If the starting
playback position was n*segmentDuration seconds behind "now", the DASH
client could download up to 'n' fragments faster than realtime before it
reached the point where it needed to wait for fragments to appear on the
server.
The MPD@suggestedPresentationDelay attribute allows a content publisher
to provide a suggested starting position that is behind the current
"live" position.
If the MPD@suggestedPresentationDelay attribute is not present, provide
a suitable default value as a property of the dashdemux element. To
allow the default presentation delay to be specified either using
fragments or seconds, the property is a string that contains a number
and a unit (e.g. "10 seconds", "4 fragments", "2500ms").
Corrected the parsing of a segment template string.
Added unit tests to test the segment template parsing.
All reported problems are now correctly handled.

When building the media segment list using a SegmentList node, the
gst_mpd_client_setup_representation function will iterate through the
list of S nodes and will expect to find a matching SegmentUrl node. If
one does not exist, the code made an illegal memory access.

These are used to apply restrictions on what the MPD file may
use, so no profile means no restrictions.
Besides, nothing actually uses the profiles (yet) anyway.

Create src pads for Representations that contain timed-text subtitles,
both when the subtitles are encapsulated in ISO BMFF (i.e., the
Representation has mimeType "application/mp4") and when they are
unencapsulated (i.e., the Representation has mimeType
"application/ttml+xml").

The same has to be done for AdaptationSet and SegmentList nodes still.
Also this does not correctly implement the semantics: by default Period (and
other nodes) should only be loaded when needed, not in the very beginning. We
need to implement lazy loading for them, which means adjusting
gst_mpd_client_setup_media_presentation().
