Add first implementation of arbitrary buffer metadata. We use a simple linked
linked of slice allocated metadata chunks. Future implementations could use
something more performant.
Add get, remove, iterate methods to handle the metadata.
Add an owner private field where the owner of a buffer can store some extra
information. We can use this to implement most of the subclassing that happens
now. Later this will be removed and replaced by arbitrary buffer metadata.
Avoid doing unnecessary pad-allocs when on passthrough mode.
If multiple basetransform elements are on a pipeline, they
would do a pad-alloc for each received buffer, each element
would do this, so we would have lots of pad allocs on the
pipeline for a single buffer being pushed through it.
This patch attempts to reduce this amount by avoiding
doing pad-allocs if the element has already done it
after the last pushed buffer. So it will only be allowed
to do a new pad-alloc after it has pushed a buffer, so we get
1x1 pad-alloc and buffer ratio

This was required to add a new MEDIA4 buffer flag for indicating
progressive/mixed telecine video buffers. There is no space for
additional flags in GstBuffer, so steal one from GstMiniObject.

This commit changes the request pad behaviour for plugins and applications.
Reopens Bug #402562
The proper fix for that bug is to keep track of created request pads.
This reverts commit a5e44ffffa.
Use new GstPoll functionality to wakeup the mainloop.
Use an atomic queue on the writer side to post the messages.
The reader side it protected with the lock still because we don't want multiple
concurrent readers.
Add an atomic queue. The queue can be used from multiple threads simultaneously
and without taking any locks or doing any blocking operations. This makes it
highly scalable for things like the bus, bufferpools and object recycling.
