It appears that not all Apple implementations follow the HLS guidelines.
While the DEFAULT=NO for an audio track should be optional and default
to NO, in practice native HLS players Safari and iOS devices treat the
missing DEFAULT as a MAYBE.
Fixes#1169
This converts all time parameters to signed, finishing a cleanup that
was started in 2018 in b4256bf0. This changes the type of:
- timestamps
- PTS specifically
- timestamp offsets
- timescales
- durations
This excludes:
- MP4 box definitions
- DTS specifically
This is meant to address signed/unsigned conversion issues on arm64
that caused some test cases to fail.

Now text-based WebVTT also uses the generic media pipeline. This
converts the WebVttTextOutputHandler to a WebVttMuxer to be more
consistent with the other muxer types.
This also allows choosing between single-segment text and multi-segment.
Before, we would generate both and use single-segment for DASH and
multi-segment for HLS; but now you can choose between either and either
are supported in both DASH and HLS.

HLS uses the EXT-X-MEDIA-SEQUENCE tag at the start of a live playlist in
order to specify the first segment sequence number. This is because any
live playlist have a limited number of segments, and they also keep
updating with new segments while removing old ones. When a player refreshes
the playlist, this information is important for keeping track of segments
positions.
When the packager starts, it naturally starts this count from zero. However,
there are many situations where the packager may be restarted, without this
meaning starting this value from zero (but continuing a previous sequence).
The most common situations are problems in the encoder feeding the packager.
With those cases in mind, this parameter allows to set the initial
EXT-X-MEDIA-SEQUENCE value. This way, it's possible to continue the sequence
number from previous packager run.
Closes#691.
Although FRAME-RATE is optional per HLS specification, but per HLS
Authoring Specification for Apple Devices (https://apple.co/30n90DC):
Each EXT-X-STREAM-INF tag MUST have a FRAME-RATE attribute.
Also, iOS and TVos refuse to play the content if VIDEO-RANGE is
present but FRAME-RATE is missing.

Calculate FRAME-RATE from sample duration as in the DASH solution.
Right now calculated frame-rate may not be accurate in some scenarios,
so we avoid setting the attribute in HLS unless it is more than 30
fps. We will set it unconditionally once it is fixed.

Store and use the segment start time in the original time scale to

We used to use the target segment duration provided by the user.
Unfortunately that does not work for iframe only playlist which
the target duration is effectively equal to the GOP duration.
In the new approach, we estimate the target duration from the initial
few blocks (10 blocks right now).

Apple's specification does not recommend video formats with the
parameter sets stored in the samples.
It also fails mediastreamvalidator checks and some Apple devices /
platforms refused to play.

Replaced with the corresponding formats with the parameter sets stored
in the sample descriptions instead.

Segment start,end time was used previously, which could result in
problems if there are discontinuity in the streams. E.g. if the
stream has timestamp, 10000, 10001, 10002 and then next segment
comes in with timestamp 1. With the previous logic, all the segments
would remain in the time shift buffer until after 10000 segments
even with a small time shift buffer depth of 10.
This could also happen when timestamp wraps around, which could
happen during long time of live streaming.
This change will also be useful to support multi-period live DASH.

Instead, caclulating average bandwidth by dividing the sum of the
sizes of every segment by the sum of the durations of every segment.
This aligns with the requirement in HLS spec:

Use protobuf utilities instead.
packager/base/json_writer comes from Chromium base. We are going
to switch to abseil which does not have a JSON library.
This is unfortunately, at the expense of increased output binary size.
packager binary increases by about 300KB due to:
- Protos cannot be compiled with LITE_RUNTIME any more.
- Additional protobuf library needed to convert between JSON and proto.

This is in preparation of supporting entitlement license API, where
common encryption server may return concatenated PSSHs directly.
Refactored ProtectionSystemSpecificInfo into a struct containing
concatenated PSSHs. This will make it easier to pass PSSHs around.
Also, most of the time, users of ProtectionSystemSpecificInfo do
not care what is in PSSH; so moved PSSH box parsing and building out
of ProtectionSystemSpecificInfo.

The number of preserved segments outside live window can be
configured using flag --preserved_segments_outside_live_window,
