The position is no longer duplicated across each pad and pad's segment. The
position is now only updated if it changes in the direction of playback so that
quickly repeated forward seeks do not cause the stream to seek from 0.
Reverse playback is expressly disallowed and an unnecessary extra flush of track
when seeking was removed.
A background task was added to periodically check on the current position and
the media source's buffering levels to keep the ready state up-to-date. The
source buffer no longer needs to trigger this update, it will happen whenever
the element state is READY or higher.
Finally, added proper error reporting when failing to push a buffer and improved
debug logging.

Since the sample map/track buffer now iterates samples in batches corresponding
to each coded frame group, the logic to feed the tracks is simpler. For media
without delta frames, it's a special case where the coded frame groups are all
size 1.
Now, all it does is skip data until the keyframe group containing the seek point
is found, then feed the track queue with the current sample and all future
samples until EOS or cancellation.
Resync of the iterator when the underlying track is modified is not necessary
because the outer loop attempts to resume feeding track data from where it was
interrupted in case of modification.
Also, the track feed task struct now holds a weak ref to its parent source
buffer to allow the task to cancel itself in any situation where the source
buffer is destroyed before the task is shut down.
Media parsing activity in the append pipeline no longer triggers ready state
recalculation on the msesrc since the msesrc now has a background task that
updates the ready state periodically when it's active which is more efficient in
cases where there is a high volume of samples being processed by the media
parser.
Finally, updated to adapt to track buffer API changes. Some functions previously
passed in a lower bound for sample timestamps. Now the source buffer is
responsible for clipping samples within a desired range of time.

Now when the buffered list is requested, the tolerance for merging two ranges
when there's a small gap between them is MAX(0.1sec, max frame duration * 2).
Previously it was hardcoded to 0.01sec. The specification suggests that it
could be something like the max frame duration * 2.

The source buffer currently has a thread for each track that feeds the track
with all data in the track buffer until EOS is reached.
Each pass over the track buffer currently waits for the EOS to appear when it's
done iterating the track buffer which is too restrictive.
When the source buffer reaches the end of the track buffer, it should wait for
any new data to be processed -- not just an EOS -- then check for cancellation
if the deadline expires without new data.

Both operations now work on coded frame groups (GOPs). This simplifies queueing
of video data. There is rarely any point of dealing with individual video frames
when iterating in DTS order, it's most meaningful to decode or delete whole
coded frame groups at a time, so the sample map will now do that when iterating
by DTS. When iterating in PTS order, the existing behavior is preserved since
that is used for informational purposes, not media processing.
A new private boxed type for coded frame groups was added to provide each data
item to the source buffer. Another possible solution would be creation of a new
GstSample representing the whole group by merging all the samples in a group
into a single sample containing a GstBufferList.
Also, start time filtering was removed from the API since gst_iterator_filter()
can be used by callers to achieve the same result.

With this patch, configure time is identical no matter whether doc is
enabled or not.
The configuration files also now contain explicitly-listed sources with
no wildcards.
For the four libraries where hotdoc needs to use clang to generate the
documentation (as opposed to the rest of the libraries where hotdoc uses
the gir), the script will call pkg-config to determine the appropriate
C flags.
This means a side effect of this patch is that pkg-config files are now
generated for the gstadaptivedemux and gstopencv libraries.
