Rather than running the tool in a loop, I'm using inotify to watch for
new files being created (ideally, the other rap workers will be migrated
to this style in the future). The trigger for processing is the creation
of the .json index file for the uploaded track.
This was added to workaround for red5 taking a while to rewrite the
serialized (.ser) data that it streams to disk back to the .flv format.
The workaround is no longer needed, for two reasons:
* The sanity scripts run the red5 code to generate the .flv from the .ser
if needed, and
* We're expecting more people to be using WebRTC media in the future anyways
This makes recordings available up to 2 minutes earlier than they would have
been otherwise.
- some conflicts have been fixed.
The following needs working on:

Parking as need to work on something else.
Due to improvements in the recording scripts, most of the stuff the sanity
script was checking for is no longer needed (missing/corrupt video files
are handled by the processing scripts). The version of this script in
master has been cleaned up so that the only things it does are:
- Check that the events.xml exists and is properly formatted xml
- Rebuild flv files from red5 .flv.ser/.flv.info files
The script from master is compatible with the 2.0 code, so just use it
as-is.
This fixes a problem where following the recent red5 upgrade in 2.0 branch,
an flv file is never written for webcam streams where no frames were
received, despite there being recording events.
There's some cases where you can get 0-duration recordings due to
recording event placement (e.g. a single recording event is the last
event in the events.xml). Detect these cases, and treat them like
no recording marks in the archive script (it will stop the recording
from being automatically processed).
I've also adjusted the sanity script to detect these cases and error
out. The recording processing scripts cannot handle 0-length recordings,
you have to manually edit the events. I've added a message to the
sanity log about this.
When working with the segmented recording format, the events file might
end with a mismatched start video event for an incomplete file. The
sanity script was removing this event, meaning the video didn't show up
in future segments.
Simply drop the code that tries to find invalid video files and removes
them from the events file. The new video processing code is already
robust against missing or corrupt files.
