The goal is to be able to get back the original buffer
after performing analysis on a transformed version. Then put the
various GstMeta back on the original buffer.
An example pipeline would be
.. ! originalbuffersave ! videoscale ! analysis ! originalbufferestore ! draw_overlay ! sink

This new plugin exposes two elements, intersink and intersrc. These act
as wormholes for data in the same process and can be used to forward
data from one pipeline to another.
The implementation makes use of gstreamer-utils' StreamProducer, and
supports dynamically adding and removing consumers, before and after
producers, and changing producer names while PLAYING, both on the sink
and the src.
This initial implementation comes with a small demo, and a few tests.

Required renaming threadshare/benchmark to threadshare/ts-benchmark
because 'benchmark' as a target name is reserved for meson's
`benchmark` target.
Disabled by default because cargo decides that it has to rebuild
everything, and is really slow because of that.
Also required adding --features for setting features required by the
examples.

... instead of forwarding them to a Task via a channel.
This improves CPU usage by 5% according to `udpsrc-benchmark-sender`
with the `tuning` feature using default audio test buffers and
400 streams on the same ts-context.
It is expected to improve latency significantly. This is inferred
from `ts-standalone`: latency shrinks from around 5ms to 1.5µs
using the `task` sink compared to the `async-mutex` sink.
The async Mutex is mandatory here as we need to hold the lock
across await points.
This makes it easy to generate "listenable" signals and to evaluate
discontinuities.
When the `tuning` feature is activated and the `main-elem` property
is set, the element can log the parked duration in %, which is an
image of the CPU usage for the ts-context.
This commit adds a test mode to `udpsrc-benchmark-sender` which
generates default audio buffers from `ts-audiotestsrc`. The `rtp`
mode is modified so that it uses `ts-audiotestsrc`.
Contrary to the existing Task Sink, the Async and Sync Mutex Sinks
handle buffers in the `PadSinkHandler` directly. The Async Mutex
Sink uses an async Mutex for the `PadSinkHandlerInner` while the
Sync Mutex Sink uses... a sync Mutex.
All Sinks share the same settings and stats manager.
Use the `--sink` command line option to select the sink (default is
`sync-mutex` since it allows evaluating the framework with as little
overhead as possible.
Also apply various fixes:
- Only keep the segment start instead of the full `Segment`. This
helps with cache locality (`Segment` is a plain struct with many
fields) and avoids downcasting the generic `Segment` upon each
buffer handling.
- Box the `Stat`s. This should improve cache locality a bit.
- Fix EOS handling which took ages for no benefits in this
particular use case.
- Use a macro to raise log level in the main element.
- Move error handling during item processing in `handle_loop_error`.
This function was precisely designed for this and it should reduce
the `handle_item`'s Future size.
