DataSource: Split off ffmpeg sniffer to a second pass, and only if necessary
ffmpeg's sniffer is intended as a grab-all-that-doesn't-work-elsewhere extractor. Unfortunately, this causes two issues: - As written, it requires ffmpeg to whitelist any extractors supported by stagefright, or else it will blindly override them. This has codebase sync issues, as shown by the VP9 and WAV accidental overrides - It imposes an in-depth analysis of _all_ media, even that which we want to be processed quickly by shipping stagefright plugins (hardware or not). This is mostly noticeable in network streams and thumbnail generation. This patch moves FFmpegExtractor to an independent sniffer queue, and it only invokes it when the regular MediaExtractor hits 1 of 3 conditions: 1 - The confidence in the identified container type is low 2 - No container is identified at all 3 - A video container was found by other extractors, but only 1 stream (audio or video) was identified.
