Subject: [PATCH 01/60] cmd/revid-cli & revid: moved ringBuffer to earlier in
 pipeline

Removed packetization flag for revid-cli as no longer required.
Packetization will be decided based on outputs.
Removed buffer type definition and Write receiver func in
mtsSender_test.go as this is now defined in revid.go.
Made ringbuffer size and element size consisten no matter the
output methods, as we're now going to only be putting h264 in there.
Modified H264 lex function to take an io.Writer rather than an
Encoder.
Removed destination []loadSender slice from revids fields and
added an encoder []stream.Encoder slice to hold encoders used
during a particular configuration. Each encoder will write to
the desired outputs.
Modified logic regarding encoder and sender setup. We now check
what outputs we have and add encoders to revid's encoder slice
depending on what each output requires.
Modified outputClips routine such that it ranges through revid's
encoders and encodes to them. They then write to the senders and
they handle logic regarding the amount of data they send out
and when. They also handle actions to perform on send failures.
Wrote multiSender struct which will be written to from encoders.
It will then use it's senders to distribute the data accordingly
to senders that work with the encoding from said encoders.
Modified senders so that their load methods no longer take ring
chunks, but rather slices.
Modified senders such that their release methods no longer
perform chunk closing.

Subject: [PATCH 04/60] revid: sending encode errors to errorHandler and made
 multiSender smarter Errors captured from encoding are now sent to the error
 handler. We also made multiSender smart so that during a write if sendRetry
 is on, we first check that revid is actually running before attempting to
 send again. If revid is not running we return. We also now log any send
 errors inside multiSender.

Subject: [PATCH 14/60] revid & stream/flv: removed writing of 'flv header' in
 the flv encoder

We are now only employing flv encoding for use with rtmp, and rtmp does not like the inclusion of the 'flv header' at the start of a
stream, so this functionality has been removed along with error handling of the invalidFlvTag error from rtmp in the rtmp sender.

 based on outputs

Added a retry field for the multiSender which will be used to decide whether to retry sending or not. This is being set true if we have a http sender and no other senders.

Subject: [PATCH 19/60] revid: added function type called active to multiSender

We wish to have a way to check that the 'owner' of the multi sender is still active while it may be doing continual send retries - therefore a function with bool return called active has been added
as a field to multiSender so that we can call this and check whether the owner of the multiSender is 'active' or not.

Subject: [PATCH 24/60] revid: added TestMultiSenderWrite

Added a test in senders_test.go to check that we can give a multiSender a few senders and have it
write to them correctly when we call multSender.Write(). This involved writing a dummy
loadSender implementation called dummyLoadSender that stores what has been written to it so that
we can check at a later time.

Subject: [PATCH 44/60] revid: removed concept of send retry for now

Send retry has been removed from the multiSender. This also means there is not need for the active func, because we simply wait until the send is complete or failed to exit the output clips
routine. Tests pertinent to retrying or the active function have been removed.
