Up until now, the Matroska muxer did not use the dispositions it is
given as-is; instead it by default overrode the disposition of the first
track of a kind (audio, video, subtitles) if no track of this kind has
the default disposition set. And up until recently, it also enforced
by default that no more than one track of each kind be marked as
default.
The rationale for the former is that there are lots of containers which
lack the concept of default streams, so that it is not uncommon for no
stream to be marked as default at all; the rationale for the latter was
that up until recently, it was dubious whether the Matroska specification
allowed more than one default stream for track type (e.g. mkvmerge
disallowed it). It was this point which led to the implementation of
the above mentioned behaviour inspired by mkvmerge.
Yet the Matroska specifications have changed and now explicitly allow
to set more than one track of each type as default, so that the main
reason of not using the dispositions as-is was rendered moot. Therefore
this commit changes the default to pass the disposition through.
The matroska-mpegts-remux FATE-test has been updated to still use the
old "infer" mode so that it is still covered by FATE; the
matroska-zero-length-block test has also been updated to cover
the infer_no_subs mode. The references for lots of other FATE tests
needed to be updated because of a newly added FlagDefault element with
value zero (whereas a FlagDefault with value 1 needn't be coded at all,
as it coincided with the default value of said element).

The Matroska muxer writes the Chapters early when chapters were already
available when writing the header; in this case any tags pertaining to
these chapters get written, too.
Yet if no chapters had been supplied before writing the header, Chapters
can also be written when writing the trailer if any are supplied. Tags
belonging to these chapters were up until now completely ignored.
This commit changes this: Writing the tags belonging to chapters has
been moved to mkv_write_chapters(). If mkv_write_tags() has not been
called yet (i.e. when chapters are written when writing the header),
the AVIOContext for writing the ordinary Tags element is used, but not
output, as this is left to mkv_write_tags() in order to only write one
Tags element. Yet if mkv_write_tags() has already been called,
mkv_write_chapters() will output a Tags element of its own which only
contains the tags for chapters.
When chapters are available initially, the corresponding tags will now
be the first tags in the Tags element; but the ordering of tags in Tags
is irrelevant anyway.
This commit also makes chapter_id_offset local to mkv_write_chapters()
as it is used only there and not reused at all.
Potentially writing a second Tags element means that the maximum number
of SeekHead entries had to be incremented. All the changes to FATE
result from the ensuing increase in the amount of space reserved for the
SeekHead (21 bytes more).

Several EBML Master elements for which a good upper bound of the final
length was available were nevertheless written without giving an
upper bound of the final length to start_ebml_master(), so that their
length fields were eight bytes long. This has been changed.

Using random values for TrackUID and FileUID (as happens when the
AVFMT_FLAG_BITEXACT flag is not set) has the obvious downside of making
the output indeterministic. This commit mitigates this by writing the
potentially random values with a fixed size of eight byte, even if their
actual values would fit into less than eight bytes. This ensures that
even in non-bitexact mode, the differences between two files generated
with the same settings are restricted to a few bytes in the header.
(Namely the SegmentUID, the TrackUIDs (in Tracks as well as when
referencing them via TagTrackUID), the FileUIDs (in Attachments as
well as in TagAttachmentUID) as well as the CRC-32 checksums of the
Info, Tracks, Attachments and Tags level-1-elements.) Without this
patch, there might be an offset/a size difference between two such
files.
The FATE-tests had to be updated because the fixed-sized UIDs are also
used in bitexact mode.

If there are Attachments to write, the Matroska muxer currently
allocates two objects: An array that contains an entry for each
AttachedFile containing just the stream index of the corresponding
stream and the FileUID used for this AttachedFile; and a structure with
a pointer to said array and a counter for said array. These uids are
generated via code special to Attachments: It uses an AVLFG in the
normal and a sha of the attachment data in the bitexact case. (Said sha
requires an allocation, too.)
But now that an uid is generated for each stream in mkv_init(), there is
no need any more to use special code for generating the FileUIDs of
AttachedFiles: One can simply use the uid already generated for the
corresponding stream. And this makes the whole allocations of the
structures for AttachedFiles as well as the structures itself superfluous.
They have been removed.
In case AVFMT_FLAG_BITEXACT is set, the uids will be different from the
old ones which is the reason why the FATE-test lavf-mkv_attachment
needed to be updated. The old method had the drawback that two
AttachedFiles with the same data would have the same FileUID.
The new one doesn't.
Also notice that the dynamic buffer used to write the Attachments leaks
if an error happens when writing the buffer. By removing the
allocations potential sources of errors have been removed.

Tags in the Matroska file format can be summarized as follows: There is
a level 1-element called Tags containing one or many Tag elements each
of which in turn contain a Targets element and one or many SimpleTags.
Each SimpleTag roughly corresponds to a single key-value pair similar to
an AVDictionaryEntry. The Targets meanwhile contains information to what
the metadata contained in the SimpleTags contained in the containing Tag
applies (i.e. to the file as a whole or to an individual track).
The Matroska muxer writes such metadata. It puts the metadata of every
stream into a Tag whose Targets makes it point to the corresponding
track. And if the output is seekable, then it also adds another Tag for
each track whose Targets corresponds to the track and where it reserves
space in a SimpleTag to write the duration at the end of the muxing
process into.
Yet there is no reason to write two Tag elements for a track and a few
bytes (typically 24 bytes per track) can be saved by adding the duration
SimpleTag to the other Tag of the same track (if it exists).
FATE has been updated because the output files changed. (Tests that
write to unseekable output (pipes) needn't be updated (no duration tag
has ever been written for them) and the same applies to tests without
further metadata.)

Up until e7ddafd5, the Matroska muxer wrote two SeekHeads: One at the
beginning referencing the main level 1 elements (i.e. not the Clusters)
and one at the end, referencing the Clusters. This second SeekHead was
useless and has therefore been removed. Yet the SeekHead-related
functions and structures are still geared towards this usecase: They
are built around an allocated array of variable size that gets
reallocated every time an element is added to it although the maximum
number of Seek entries is a small compile-time constant, so that one should
rather include the array in the SeekHead structure itself; and said
structure should be contained in the MatroskaMuxContext instead of being
allocated separately.
The earlier code reserved space for a SeekHead with 10 entries, although
we currently write at most 6. Reducing said number implied that every
Matroska/Webm file will be 84 bytes smaller and required to adapt
several FATE tests; furthermore, the reserved amount overestimated the
amount needed for for the SeekHead's length field and how many bytes
need to be reserved to write a EBML Void element, bringing the total
reduction to 89 bytes.
This also fixes a potential segfault: If !mkv->is_live and if the
AVIOContext is initially unseekable when writing the header, the
SeekHead is already written when writing the header and this used to
free the SeekHead-related structures that have been allocated. But if
the AVIOContext happens to be seekable when writing the trailer, it will
be attempted to write the SeekHead again which will lead to segfaults
because the corresponding structures have already been freed.

Up until now, the length field of most level 1 elements has been written
using eight bytes, although it is known in advance how much space the
content of said elements will take up so that it would be possible to
determine the minimal amount of bytes for the length field. This
commit changes this.

Up until now the EBML Header length field has been written with eight
bytes, although the EBML Header is always so small that only one byte
is needed for it. This patch saves seven bytes for every Matroska/Webm
file.
