Keep tracer base class in tracer and move core support into the utils module.
Add a unstable-api guard to the tracer.h so that external modules would need to
acknowledge the status by setting GST_USE_UNSTABLE_API.
When adding an element to a bin we need to propagate the GstContext's
to/from the element.
This moves the GstContext list from GstBin to GstElement and adds
convenience functions to get the currently set list of GstContext's.
This does not deal with the collection of GstContext's propagated
using GST_CONTEXT_QUERY. Element subclasses are advised to call
gst_element_set_context if they need to propagate GstContext's
received from the context query.

This fixes a race where a state change may return failure if it has
request pads that are deactivated and removed (and thus have no
parent) at the same time as the element changes state and (de)activates
its pads.

This reverts commit 1911554cff.
This breaks the functionality of GST_PAD_FLAG_NEED_PARENT, the reason for this
flag is that if a pad is removed from a running element, you don't want
functions (such as chain or event) to be called on the pad without a parent set.
This can happen if you remove a request or sometimes pad from a running element.
I don't see the code that caused this in tsdemux, but if it needs to unset
the flag on remove, it should do it itself and then make sure that the parent
exists in any pad function.
The documentation states that gst_element_send_event is to "send an event
to an element".
Therefore we *send* upstream events to a source pad and downstream events
to a sink pad
This function is not really pad or slow for the common case of requesting a
pad with the name of the template. It is only slower if you to name your pads
directly instead of letting the element handle it.
Also there's no reason to deprecate it in favor of a more complicated function
for the common case.
Support for (nullable) was added to G-I at the same time as nullable
return values. Previous versions of G-I will not mark return values as
nullable, even when an (allow-none) annotation is present, so it is
not necessary to add (allow-none) annotations for compatibility with
older versions of G-I.

When a pad is added the need-parent flag is set to true, so when
they are removed the flag should be set back to false
This was preventing GstPads to be reused in elements (removed and
later re-added). A unit tests was added to verify that this is
working now.
The use case is tsdemux that has a program-number property and
allows the user to switch programs. In order to do that tsdemux
will remove the pads of the current program and add from the new
ones. The removed pads are kept in the demuxer for later if the
user selects the old program again.
They are very confusing for people, and more often than not
also just not very accurate. Seeing 'last reviewed: 2005' in
your docs is not very confidence-inspiring. Let's just remove
those comments.
and remove all the printf extension/specifier stuff for
the system printf. Next we need to add back the custom
specifiers to our own printf implementation.

Elements should override GstElement::set_context() and also call
gst_element_set_context() to keep this context up-to-date with
the very latest context they internally use.
The order of returned pads wasn't specified before, so let's specify
it and use an order which might prove the most useful : the order in
which pads were added to the element.
If someone changes the order, make sure users of those iterators from
now on don't rely on that order !
In the dispose handler we first need to release all the request pads and then
remove the remaining pads. This is because it is possible that releasing the
request pad might also cleanly remove some of the other dynamic pads, like
what rtpsession does.

Add gst_element_class_{add,set}_metadata() variants for static strings,
so we can avoid unnecessary g_strdup()s.
