When we finish a frame, we pass a size which semantic can easily be confused.
Improve the documentation to clarify that the parameter size is the amount of
input data being consumed and, if set, the output_buffer size can differ.

When the subclass attempts to finish without an explicit `out_buffer`,
we take a buffer from our adapter. We need to make this buffer writable
before copying the metadata.
This led to data races such as in the following pipeline, which randomly
messed up the buffer PTS:
gst-launch-1.0 -e audiotestsrc timestamp-offset=5555 num-buffers=100 \
! opusenc ! tee name=t ! queue ! opusparse ! fakesink silent=0 \
t. ! queue ! opusparse ! fakesink silent=0 -v | grep '0000, dur'

There's no need to do this, and it can make seeking far less accurate.
For a specific use case: I am working with a long (45-minute) MPEG-1 layer 3 file, which has a constant bit rate but no seeking tables. Trying to seek the pipeline immediately after pausing it, without the ACCURATE flag, to a location 41 minutes in, yields a location that is potentially over ten seconds ahead of where it should be. This patch improves that drastically.

gst_base_parse_reset() does not reset data_bytecount to 0, so
gst_base_parse_update_bitrates() uses a wrong value to calculate
the average bitrate on subsequent pipeline starts. This leads to an
excessive amount of "tag" events being pushed. These events include
very high "bitrate" values that diminish over time, and are produced
until the average bitrate is back to sane values.
