Bug 154390 – [GStreamer][HLS] 1.6.3 regressions

[Philippe Normand]

After the build bots were updated from GStreamer 1.4 to 1.6.3 the following http/tests/media tests are failing:

http/tests/security/local-video-source-from-remote.html is timing out since then.

The following tests have never once failed on the bots since they were marked as failing in r196804 (update to GStreamer 1.6.3):

http/tests/media/reload-after-dialog.html
http/tests/media/remove-while-loading.html
http/tests/media/video-auth.html
http/tests/media/video-play-stall-before-meta-data.html

The following tests initially consistently passed, and failed only during a small range of revisions (timeouts during r197752-r197860). They are now consistently passing:

http/tests/media/video-error-abort.html
http/tests/media/video-load-twice.html

The following tests almost always pass, but they are flaky:

http/tests/media/video-buffered-range-contains-currentTime.html
http/tests/media/video-cancel-load.html

Updated expectations in r199270.

Also http/tests/media/video-load-suspend.html. Updated expectation in r199273.

We're now depending on 1.10.4 so this needs review. I unmarked a bunch that were passing for a while now:

http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/218493

[Charlie Turner]

I moved http/tests/media/hls/hls-video-resize.html into https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=199617 since it doesn't appear to be a valid test.

[Enrique Ocaña]

Now only these tests are marked as skipped by this bug in LayoutTests/platform/glib/TestExpectations:

http/tests/media/hls/video-controller-getStartDate.html
http/tests/media/hls/hls-audio-tracks-locale-selection.html

[Enrique Ocaña]

Regarding video-controller-getStartDate.html, I've found that getStartDate() returns "Invalid Date" because it's not implemented in MediaPlayerPrivateGStreamer, and can't ever be while the patch from https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-plugins-bad/-/issues/195 isn't merged in GStreamer.
