In many parts of the code we raise streaming error when the flow
goes wrong, and each time we create more or less similare error
message. Also that message does not let the application know what
has actually gone wrong. In the new API we add a "flow-return" detail
field inside the GstMessage so that the application has all the information
if it needs it.

GST_ELEMENT_FLOW_ERROR

Fixes g-i warning "Gst: Constructor return type mismatch
symbol='gst_element_message_new_details' constructed='Gst.Element'
return='Gst.Structure'".
This is a newly-added function in git that has not been in a stable
release yet, so it's fine to rename it. It's also only used indirectly
via macros.

Highlights of the features provided are:
* Faster builds on Linux (~40-50% faster)
* The ability to build with MSVC on Windows
* Generate Visual Studio project files
* Generate XCode project files
* Much faster builds on Windows (on-par with Linux)
* Seriously fast configure and building on embedded
... and many more. For more details see:

Building with Meson should work on both Linux and Windows, but may
need a few more tweaks on other operating systems.
A new event which precedes EOS in situations where we
need downstream to unblock any pads waiting on a stream
before we can send EOS. E.g, decodebin draining a chain
so it can switch pads.

Redirection messages are already used in fragmented sources and in
uridecodebin, so it makes sense to introduce these as an official message
type.

We don't do calculations with different units (buffer offsets and bytes)
anymore but have functions for:
1) getting the number of bytes since the last discont
2) getting the offset (and pts/dts) at the last discont
and the previously added function to get the last offset and its distance from
the current adapter position.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=766647
API: gst_buffer_prev_offset
API: gst_buffer_get_offset_from_discont
The gst_buffer_get_offset_from_discont() method allows retrieving the current
offset based on the GST_BUFFER_OFFSET of the buffers that were pushed in.
The offset will be set initially by the GST_BUFFER_OFFSET of
DISCONT buffers, and then incremented by the sizes of the following
buffers.
The gst_buffer_prev_offset() method allows retrievent the previous
GST_BUFFER_OFFSET regardless of flags. It works in the same way as
the other gst_buffer_prev_*() methods.

We already had a _full() version, but having that alone seems inconsistent.
Add a non-full version that mirrors the behaviour of gst_pad_link() vs
gst_pad_link_full().
This calls a function from another thread, asynchronously. This is to be
used for cases when a state change has to be performed from a streaming
thread, directly via gst_element_set_state() or indirectly e.g. via SEEK
events.
Calling those functions directly from the streaming thread will cause
deadlocks in many situations, as they might involve waiting for the
streaming thread to shut down from this very streaming thread.
This is mostly a convenience function around a GThreadPool and is for example
used by GstBin to continue asynchronous state changes.

g_signal_emit_by_name() is not like gst_app_src_push_buffer() due to reference
counting limitations of signals, it does *not* take ownership of the buffer.
Be notified in the application thread via bus messages about
notify::* and deep-notify::* property changes, instead of
having to deal with it in a non-application thread.

This is a useful function to automatically add ghost pads when linking
two elements across bin boundaries without know their exact parentage.
e.g. when using gst_parse_bin_from_description (with or without it ghosting pads),
one can simply retreive the src/sink pads from the bin to link to another pad.
Similar functionality is provided by gst_element_link_pads{_full}() however only
by pad name rather than by actual pads.
API: gst_pad_link_maybe_ghosting_full
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=764176
Pretty much every single element does
gst_element_class_add_pad_template (element_class,
gst_static_pad_template_get (&some_templ));
which is both confusing and unnecessary. We might just
as well add a function to do that in one step.

Similar to the stress test functions for buffers that has a callback to
create the buffer to be pushed, it's useful to have functions that use a
callback to create the event to be pushed.

API: gst_harness_stress_push_event_with_cb_start_full()

Only hide GstTracer and GstTracerRecord API behind GST_USE_UNSTABLE_API,
but don't spew any warnings, otherwise everyone has to define this
to avoid compiler warnings.
This reverts parts of commit 89ee5d948d.
We use this class to register tracer log entry metadata and build a log
template. With the log template we can serialize log data very efficiently.
This also simplifies the logging code, since that is now a simple varargs
function that is not exposing the implementation details.
Add docs for the new class and basic tests.
Remove the previous log handler.
Fixes#760267
Other gst libraries and/or elements may want to add some debug logging to an
external debug system or implement delayed debugging for performance reasons.
Exposes the internal __gst_vasprintf as gst_info_vasprintf which has a fallback
to g_vasprintf if the debug system is disabled.

Use GST_PAD_PROBE_PASS to pass through all events other than EOS instead of
blocking on the first non-EOS event forever. Also fix a typo in a comment in
that function.
Thanks to David Jaggard for reporting this on the mailing list.
API: GST_BUFFER_DTS_OR_PTS
Many scenarios/elements require dealing with streams of buffers that
might have DTS set (i.e. encoded data, potentially reordered)
To simplify getting the increasing "timestamp" of those buffers, create
a macro that will return the DTS if valid, and if not the PTS
When g_option_context_parse fails, context and error variables are not getting free'd
which results in memory leaks. Free'ing the same.
And replacing g_error_free with g_clear_error, which checks if the error being passed
is not NULL and sets the variable to NULL on free'ing.

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.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=705579
gst_segment_to_position might cause confusion, especially with the addition of
gst_segment_position_from_stream_time . Deprecated gst_segment_to_position
now, and replaced it with gst_segment_position_from_running_time.
Also added unit tests.
gst_segment_position_from_stream_time() will convert stream time into a
position in the segment so that gst_segment_to_stream_time() with that
position returns the same stream time. It will return -1 if the stream time
given is not inside the segment.
This is needed so that we can do proper tag handling
all around, and combine the upstream tags with the
tags set by the subclass and any extra tags the
base class may want to add.

To be able to disable the slightly "magic" forwarding of the
necessary events between the harnesses.
Also introduce a new test-suite for GstHarness, that documents the
feature, and should hopefully expand into documenting most of the
features the harness possesses.

By introducing gst_harness_add_src_harness and gst_harness_add_sink_harness
we collect all sub-harness setup in one function, making the previous
sub-harness creation functions now calls these directly, and making it
much easier (and less error-prone) to add your own src or sink-harness
using the more generic harness-creation functions.
This way we don't have to allocate/free temporary structs
for storing things in the queue array.
API: gst_queue_array_new_for_struct()

Have all sections in alphabetical order. Also make the macro order consistent.
This is a preparation for generating the file. Remove GET_CLASS macro for
typefine element, since it is not used and the header is not installed.
A core meta which helps implement the old concept
of sub-buffering in some situations, by making it
possible for a buffer to keep a ref on a different
parent buffer. The parent buffer is unreffed when
the Meta is freed.
This meta is used to ensure that a buffer whose
memory is being shared to a child buffer isn't freed
and returned to a buffer pool until the memory
is.

Provide the memory implementation the GstMapInfo that will be used to
map/unmap the memory. This allows the memory implementation to use
some scratch space in GstMapInfo to e.g. track different map/unmap
behaviour or store extra implementation defined data about the map
in use.
