For the region property this would be provided as
`region-name+https://region.end/point`
while for the URI this unfortunately has to be base32 encoded to allow
usage as the host part of the URI.
The default behavior for the transcriber is to output text buffers
synchronized with the input stream, introducing a configurable
latency.
For use cases where synchronization is not crucial, but latency
is, the lateness property can be used instead of or in combination
with the latency property, in order to introduce a configurable
offset with the input stream.

As awstranscriber might in theory push out gap events without
any flow of input data, it needs to send its mandatory events
(stream-start, caps, segment) independently.
In addition, track a start time and use it to offset the 0-based
timestamps returned by AWS in order to output buffers timestamped
in the running-time domain, and perform item timing adjustment
only when dequeuing, instead of when queuing.

Amazon seem to have realized the previous iteration of their API
made it difficult to identify items from one result to the next,
which made the element much more complicated than it should have
been. With that new "stability" option, we can enqueue items as
soon as they stabilize, and simply rely on the current index in
the transcript to output them exactly once.
This also means the "use_partial_results" is now useless, as there
will be no difference in accuracy between a non-partial result and
and of its stable items that might have been pushed from previous
partial versions of the result.
The property is removed, instead a new option is exposed to let
users control how fast results should stabilize.
This greatly simplifies the code, and also improves the output as
punctuation doesn't need to be randomly discarded anymore.
Implemented analogously to souphttpsrc for compatibility. Proxy
prevents sharing the client between element instances.

With the URI handler interface implemented, we can drop the old method
of specifying bucket, key and region. This also brings it in line with
how it is for s3src.
AWS offers the option of creating "vocabularies", lists of words
that are likely to be encountered. Those can be created through
the AWS console, and are given a name. That name can then be
specified when starting a transcription job.
cargo-c will produce a pkg-config file making it easier to statically
link plugins.
Also add 'static' features for plugins depending on < 1.14 as this is the
minimal required version to use static linking because of ABI changes in
core.
This mutex is actually only ever used from a single thread, so use
AtomicRefCell instead. It provides the guarantees of a mutex but panics
instead of blocking.
