Test: media/video-seek-after-end.html

Reland without wrong assertion. If seek is called after didEnd the pipeline
state will not be in GST_STATE_NULL yet but it is not a problem because we handle that.

Rework the seeking logic to be able to seek after reseting the pipeline.
In addition to solve the actual problem this patch supposed to make seeking
more robust and correct.
The previous implementation tried to hide the complexity of asynchronous operations
on the pipeline. It did not handle the GST_MESSAGE_ASYNC_DONE message from the bus
but instead reported the seek as finished when it saw an asynchronous pending state
(GST_STATE_CHANGE_ASYNC) which could happen way before the seek is really done.
Now we pay attention to the GST_MESSAGE_ASYNC_DONE message to track the status of seeks.
Seeks are not the only operations executed asynchronously, changing the pipeling state is
similar. It means a seek can overlap with onother ongoing asynchronous operation.
This change address this by introducing an invariant for seeks, which is that we only request
a seek if there are no other ongoing asynchronous operations and the pipeline state is either
paused or playing (which is recommended anyway according to GStreamer's documentation).
This way we can be sure that the time when we get the next GST_MESSAGE_ASYNC_DONE message the
seek has been completed.

* platform/graphics/gstreamer/MediaPlayerPrivateGStreamer.cpp:
(WebCore::toGstClockTime): Factored time conversation into a helper.
(WebCore::MediaPlayerPrivateGStreamer::MediaPlayerPrivateGStreamer):

(WebCore::MediaPlayerPrivateGStreamer::playbackPosition): The position might not be available
if the pipeline still has a pending state. As a workaround, if we are right after a seek we can
use the seek time. Avoiding this situation would be possible by not allowing any asynchronous
operation to overlap. I believe it would add a lot more complexity so I decided to rather introduce
this workaround. Otherwise those overlapping operations are handled fine by GStreamer.

(WebCore::MediaPlayerPrivateGStreamer::prepareToPlay): Do not reset internal state variables.
This function called when there is an intent to restart playback but it does not actually restart it.
(WebCore::MediaPlayerPrivateGStreamer::currentTime): Just removed a staling newline.
(WebCore::MediaPlayerPrivateGStreamer::seek): Take a look to the pipeline state and act upon that.
If there is an ongoing asynchronous operation make the seek pending, otherwise do it now.
Now we handle overlapping seeks as well because I saw that it can happen in some tests.
Added an early return for live streams as it doesn't makes sense to try seeking in them.

(WebCore::MediaPlayerPrivateGStreamer::handleMessage): Handle GST_MESSAGE_ASYNC_DONE and some refactoring.
(WebCore::MediaPlayerPrivateGStreamer::asyncStateChangeDone):
(WebCore::MediaPlayerPrivateGStreamer::updateStates): Only handle seeks in the pending case, the rest is
now handled in asyncStateChangeDone.
(WebCore::MediaPlayerPrivateGStreamer::cacheDuration): Do not reset the m_mediaDurationKnown if the pipeline
has an asynchronous pending state because it would fail. It does actually happen when we get a duration message
after restarting the pipeline and it would result in restarting playback from the start. It seems to be a bug
in GStreamer that it sends the duration message too early. Also sanitized this function by merging redundant branches.
* platform/graphics/gstreamer/MediaPlayerPrivateGStreamer.h:
