gst_buffer_take_memory -> gst_buffer_insert_memory because insert is what the
method does.
Make all methods deal with ranges so that we can replace, merge, remove and map
a certain subset of the memory in a buffer. With the new methods we can make
some code nicer and reuse more code. Being able to deal with a subset of the
buffer memory allows us to optimize more cases later (most notably RTP headers
and payload that could be in different memory objects).
Make some more convenient macros that call the more generic range methods.
Make it possible to configure a GDestroyNotify and user_data for
gst_memory_new_wrapped() this allows for more flexible wrapping of foreign
memory blocks.
Fix annoying gst_type_find_register() function signature. A simple
string with comma-separated extensions works just as well and saves
lines of code, casts, relocations and ultimately kittens.
Add an index to gst_buffer_take_memory() so that we can also insert memory at a
certain offset. This is mostly interesting to prepend a header memory block to
the buffer.
This changes some APIs in compatible ways:
- Some functions now take "const char *" arguments, not "char *"
- Some structs now have "conts char *" members, not "char *"
The changes may cause warnings when compiling with the right warning
flags. You've been warned.
Also adds -Wwrite-strings as a warning flag in configure.ac.

Original commit message from CVS:
* tests/check/libs/controller.c:
* tests/check/libs/typefindhelper.c:
* tests/check/pipelines/parse-launch.c:
Don't use GST_PLUGIN_DEFINE_STATIC, it is not portable and is
going to be deprecated (see #498924).
Original commit message from CVS:
* libs/gst/base/gsttypefindhelper.c: (buf_helper_find_peek):
Fix off-by-one bug that would only allow peeks of N-1 bytes
from the start even if the buffer to typefind on contains
in fact N bytes of data (makes vorbis typefinding from a
vorbis identification header buffer work).
* tests/check/Makefile.am:
* tests/check/libs/.cvsignore:
* tests/check/libs/typefindhelper.c: (GST_START_TEST),
(gst_typefindhelper_suite), (main), (foobar_typefind),
(plugin_init):
Add very basic unit test for gst_type_find_helper_for_buffer()
that checks for the problem fixed above.
