Allow instantiating and dereferencing concrete queries. The motivation
for this proposal is to allow the following usability enhancements:
- Concrete queries mutability guaranteed by the borrow checker,
including for generic functions:
``` rust
let mut p = Query::new_position(::Format::Time);
p.get_mut_structure().set("check_mut", &true);
```
- Concrete queries functions available in place:
``` rust
let mut q = gst::Query::new_duration(gst::Format::Time);
let duration = if pipeline.query(&mut q) {
Some(q.get_result())
} else {
None
};
```
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.
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.
There's now get_result() instead of get(), and separate getters for only
getting the constructor arguments of each query (otherwise query
handlers will get useless values when trying to answer a query).
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.
