Currently fails (in normal circumstances) because we create a
socket pair for each bin's bus and exhaust the number of available
file descriptors.

Adding a buffer to the end of a GstBufferList is supposed to be a fast
operation, but it was not since the iterator does not advance its
nextpointer when adding buffers and GList does not have a tail pointer.
Using a GQueue to store the buffers makes it easier to add buffers to
the end of the list and this operation will now be much more efficient.
Adding an entire GList of buffers using
gst_buffer_list_iterator_add_list() will however have to iterate over
the list being added to be able to update the tail pointer in the
GQueue.
Replace subbuffer and copy vmethods by a more generic transform function that
can then be parametrised by transform specific data. This should allow us to
implement make-writable and more future transform functions.
Our helloworld example thatw e reference from the manual has been a bit
complicated to serve a first contact with gstreamer. Since we have and
promote playbin2 as a playback api use it here.

Fixes#424143
Make separate api for getting and adding metadata. This allows us to pass extra
parameters to the init functions when creating metadata, which is needed for
specific API implementations.
Add beginnings of memory metadata.
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.
Passing e.g. location=foo would lead to warnings because g_filename_to_uri()
wants an absolute file path and returns NULL otherwise. Use brand-new
gst_filename_to_uri() instead, which will try harder to create a proper
URI for us.
Also add unit test.
