Write a tool that generates the poll svg images directly from the
BBB poll description. This avoids the issues with special characters
in the gnuplot labels, and gives us a lot more flexibility in how
the polls are formatted and styled.
It was previously trying to get the presentation name from the wrong variable,
which resulted in a nil value (which was treated as a blank string in
filenames). This caused the poll images to not be inside the presentation
subdirectories, and the poll image references in the svg contained a `//`
path, which would break the recording if it was uploaded to e.g. AWS S3.
In some cases, we get DRAW_END events for pencil shapes from the
html5 client that have no dataPoints. The only thing we can really
do here is detect the issue and ignore the shape.
In some cases, this may result in the shape's intermediate drawing
updates being shown, but it'll disappear when the end event happens.
- some conflicts have been fixed.

Parking as need to work on something else.
In BBB 2.0, the cursor positions are given relative to the page
size (like annotation positions). Since the recording cursors
aren't actually drawn in the page like annotations, it's more
convenient to have them relative to the visible area (viewbox),
so do that conversion.
While I'm in here - since we switched to new incompatible scripts
for BBB 2.0 anyways - remove an extra factor in the cursor positions
in cursor.xml, and just use a simple ratio of width/height instead.
This is just a bundle of a few things I've been fixing up in the past
while.
= Workaround for BBB 1.1 beta deskshare timestamp bug
This is unlikely to be used, but I have the code for it, might as
well merge it in.
= Rework video tiling code for ffmpeg
Render video using the 'hstack' and 'vstack' filters rather than the
'overlay' filter. This is somewhat faster, particularly with lots of
videos.
= Etc.
- Remove usage of the streamio-ffmpeg gem.
The video rendering code has some stuff to directly read 'ffprobe'
output, so re-use that instead of this gem (which is kind of old and
has issues with newer ffmpeg versions).
- Don't hardcode the deskshare video area size, pull it from the
properties file
- Remove some code that worked around missing video end events.
In some cases this could cause flickering or strange video issues.
It's no longer strictly needed, the new tiling code doesn't break if
the seekpoint is after the end of the video.
The new shapes code, required for handling smooth shape updates & multi-user
whiteboard in the 2.0 BigBlueButton, hits a bug in old recordings where
the pencil tool incorrectly used "line" in its shape names, meaning that
there could be both a pencil mark and a line with the same shape name.
The old recording code didn't rely on the shape name to match shapes, since
there was no chance of concurrent shapes. As this is an incompatible playback
change, we need to make a new playback directory for the updated files.
The old code was very difficult to follow, and I couldn't figure out
a good way to retrofit the BigBlueButton 2.0 undo by shape id and clear
by user id into it - so I rewrote the entire thing instead.
It now generates the shapes.svg, panzooms.xml and cursor.xml all at the
same time during a single pass through the event.xml file. The result
is compatible with the existing recording javascript (at least once a few
minor issues in writing.js were fixed by earlier commits).
