matroskamux: create streamable output if downstream is not seekable

Ignore the "streamable" property setting and create streamable
output if downstream is known not to be seekable (as queried
via a SEEKABLE query).

Fixes pipelines like webmmux ! appsink creating seemingly
corrupted output if streamable has not been set to true.
