There is currently no way for users to receive incoming events from
appsink while keeping them properly serialized with the buffers flow.
This can be especially useful when application is injecting custom
downstream events into the pipeline and needs to know when they reached
appsink.
Solving this by adding a new signal notifying about new incoming events
and a set of action signals and method to pull those events.
The API is actually pulling the samples and events all together as they
are actually fetched from the same queue.
Having a specific API to pull only events would have the side effect of
discarding samples (and pulling samples would discard events) making
this API not convenient for users.
Partially fix#247

In many cases the unistd.h includes weren't actually needed.
Don't build tests that need it on windows with MSVC
(multifdsink, multisocketsink, pipelines/tcp).
Preparation for making tests work on Windows with MSVC.
If someone calls gst_app_sink_try_pull_sample they are
probably no longer interested in any preroll samples.
Useful if the user has not registered a preroll appsink callback.
Also added unit test 'test_do_not_care_preroll'
make elements/appsink.check
that fails without this patch.

There is no reason for appsink to hang onto the preroll buffer.
If needed, the application can just keep a ref on this buffer
after calling gst_app_sink_try_pull_preroll.
Also added unit test 'test_pull_preroll'
make elements/appsink.check

Add some padding to the callbacks structure just to be safe.
Remove the now invisible marshaller methods from the docs.
Fix a comment in the unit test.
Based on pacth by Martin Samuelsson <martin dot samuelsson at axis dot com>
Fixes#571299.
Add gst_app_sink_set_callbacks() to install a set of callbacks. This is a more
performant alternative to connecting to the signals.
Add a unit test for appsink.
Clean up some of the appsink docs.
API: GstAppSink::gst_app_sink_set_callbacks()
