For the latter introduce an actual opaque type that allows using them
for comparison purposes but is not just a plain u64.
For the former represent them as opaque type around an NonZeroU32. 0 is
the invalid case and does not happen in the majority of functions. Where
it can happen, represent this case by using an Option<_> instead.
This makes it harder to mis-use these types.

Concrete events and messages share common attributes which can be factorized in generic builder `struct`s. This reduces noise in the concrete implementations.
Implement `deref` for concrete derivatives of `Event`, `Message` and `Query`. This allows accessing generic methods such as `is_sticky` for events, `get_seqnum` for messages or `is_serialized` for queries and `get_structure` for all.
Building an argument-less message such as eos yields an assertion failure due to the inner structure being null. The short term solution consists in checking that the inner `structure` is not `null` before attempting to insert `other_fields`. The consequence is that `others_fields` defined for argument-less messages will be ignored. A correction will be applied when GStreamer 1.14 is released thank to the introduction of `gst_message_writable_structure` (see https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=792928). Due to the dependency on GStreamer 1.14, the correction will be only available under the activation of a feature "v1_14".
Events are not affected as the build method the availability of `gst_event_writable_structure` and this function "will never return NULL". However, we can avoid a `structure` allocation for argument-less messages without `other_fields`.
The origin in protection events is optional, the stream id in
stream-start events is not.
Also return a segment reference instead of a segment copy when parsing a
segment event.
FormatValue is now renamed to GenericFormattedValue and the API slightly
changed. In addition there is now a FormattedValue trait, and a
SpecificFormattedValue trait plus types for Bytes, Buffers and the
existing ClockTime.
This allows to create functions like
Pad::query_duration<F: SpecificFormattedValue>() -> Option<F>
and doesn't require the caller to unwrap the generic value anymore,
which is completely unneeded in these cases.
In addition, Segment became FormattedSegment<T> with API to
upcast/downcast between the specific formatted values and the generic
formatted value. This greatly simplifies usage of Segments.
And also implement a FormatValue type that holds a value together with
its format to make usage of the positions/durations/seek positions/etc
more convenient and safe.
