[pulseaudio-discuss] Audio APP (sink-input) bind to the sink with only unplugged hdmi-audio ports on it

The tentative fix of this problem like this:

When a port is unplugged, it is caught by 
module-switch-on-port-available.c, here we check if the sink of this 
port is default_sink or not, if it is default_sink, it means the sink of 
this port is still the highest priority one, no need to move 
sink-inputs, otherwise, try to move all sink-inputs of this sink to 
default_sink temporarily.

To restore the sink-inputs to its original sink, it depends on 
module-stream-restore.c, but we don't let it restore unconditionally, if 
the target sink has at least one port with avaialbe_yes/unknow, let it 
restore.

So supposing one sink has speaker, the other sink has hdmi-audio, when 
unplugging the hdmi cable, the audio will route to speaker, after 
plugging the hdmi cable again, when app build new sink-input, it will 
restore the sound to original sink.
