rtpmanager/rtsession: data race leading to critical warnings

This is a fix for a data race leading to:

> GLib-CRITICAL: g_hash_table_foreach:
>   assertion 'version == hash_table->version' failed

Identified sequence:

* `rtp_session_on_timeout` acquires the lock on `session` and proceeds with its
  processing.
* `rtp_session_process_rtcp` is called (debug log : received RTCP packet) and
  attempts to acquire the lock on `session`, which is still held by
  `rtp_session_on_timeout`.
* as part of an hash table iterator, `rtp_session_on_timeout` transitively
  invokes `source_caps` which releases the lock on `session` so as to call
  `session->callbacks.caps`.
* Since `rtp_session_process_rtcp` was waiting for the lock to be released, it
  succeeds in acquiring it and proceeds with `rtp_session_process_rr` which
  transitively calls `g_hash_table_insert` via `add_source`.
* After `source_caps` re-acquires the lock and gives the control flow back to
  `rtp_session_on_timeout`, the hash table iterator is changed, resulting in the
  assertion failure.

This commits copies `sess->ssrcs[sess->mask_idx]` and iterates on the copy so
the iterator is not affected by a concurrent change due to the lock being
released in the `source_caps` callback.
