This new tracer will list loaded elements and plugins. This should
make it easier to generate minimal builds of GStreamer.
This also traces other features such as typefind functions, device
providers and dynamic types.
The format of the output of gst-stats should match the parameters
expected by the meson based gst-build system.

It's been around for more than 4 years and people have built
lots of stuff on top of it, doesn't really make sense to keep
it marked as unstable. We're unlikely to change it now, and
we can always deprecate it and make a new one if needed.
This stabilises the following API:
- gst_tracer_register()
- gst_tracing_get_active_tracers()
- gst_tracing_register_hook()
- gst_tracer_record_new()
- gst_tracer_record_log()
Might also help a bit with #424

Fixes the following build error and missing '-pthread' argument when
linking:
subprojects/gstreamer/plugins/tracers/libgstcoretracers.so.p/gstleaks.c.o: In function `gst_leaks_tracer_setup_signals':
/work/build32/../subprojects/gstreamer/plugins/tracers/gstleaks.c:919: undefined reference to `pthread_atfork'

This is what Autoconf already does for us, so just do this. Avoids
people making typos while adding header or function checks. Because we
use a config.h.meson, such typos won't even be noticed.
Also, starting from Meson 0.36.0, the XCode 8 workaround that we use for
clock_gettime is no longer needed.
