New API:
- gst_gl_context_get_config()
- gst_gl_context_request_config()
A GL context configuration is a GstStructure that has some well-known
names for common values that can also be extended in platform-specific
ways if necessary.
Wrapped OpenGL contexts may be able to retrieve the GL context
configuration depending on the platform. If that information is
available, GstGLContext will attempt to create an context that matches
the shared OpenGL context config unless gst_gl_context_request_config()
has been called.
A new environment variable 'GST_GL_CONFIG' will be read to influence the
configuration chosen. The environment variable will only be used as a
fallback if gst_gl_context_request_config() has not been called.

gst_gl_window_quit() will attempt to send a message but will be called
from GstGLContext's finalize handler and so the weak ref that backs
gst_gl_window_get_context will return NULL as it has already been
cleared. We need that context in send_message_async to decide whether
to run the provided callback immediately or queue in GCD
We are using ARC to cleanup after ourselves.

Doing so involves retrieving the current viewport from OpenGL which as
with any glGet operation, is expensive.
This means that the various sinks need to reset the viewport on draw.
In the process, fix resizing on cocoa.
For each lib we build export its own API in headers when we're
building it, otherwise import the API from the headers.
This fixes linker warnings on Windows when building with MSVC.
The problem was that we had defined all GST_*_API decorators
unconditionally to GST_EXPORT. This was intentional and only
supposed to be temporary, but caused linker warnings because
we tell the linker that we want to export all symbols even
those from externall DLLs, and when the linker notices that
they were in external DLLS and not present locally it warns.
What we need to do when building each library is: export
the library's own symbols and import all other symbols. To
this end we define e.g. BUILDING_GST_FOO and then we define
the GST_FOO_API decorator either to export or to import
symbols depending on whether BUILDING_GST_FOO is set or not.
That way external users of each library API automatically
get the import.
While we're at it, add new GST_API_EXPORT in config.h and use
that for GST_*_API decorators instead of GST_EXPORT.
The right export define depends on the toolchain and whether
we're using -fvisibility=hidden or not, so it's better to set it
to the right thing directly than hard-coding a compiler whitelist
in the public header.
We put the export define into config.h instead of passing it via the
command line to the compiler because it might contain spaces and brackets
and in the autotools scenario we'd have to pass that through multiple
layers of plumbing and Makefile/shell escaping and we're just not going
to be *that* lucky.
The export define is only used if we're compiling our lib, not by external
users of the lib headers, so it's not a problem to put it into config.h
Also, this means all .c files of libs need to include config.h
to get the export marker defined, so fix up a few that didn't
include config.h.
This commit depends on a common submodule commit that makes gst-glib-gen.mak
add an #include "config.h" to generated enum/marshal .c files for the
autotools build.

Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:
"_gst_gl_context_cocoa_get_type", referenced from:
__create_layer in libgstopengl_la-caopengllayersink.o
Might need some more in other headers, but first need to
clarify what exactly should be exported, there are some
inconsistencies (installed header files vs. funcs in docs).
Avoids dereferencing dead objects
What happens in the autovideosink case is that context 1 is created and
destroyed before all the async operations hae executed on the associated
window. When the delayed operations execute, they then reference dead
objects and crash.
We fix this by keeping refs over all async operations so the object
cannot be deleted while async operations are in flight.

All code interacting with Objective-C objects should now use Automated
Reference Counting rather than manual memory management or Garbage
Collection. Because ARC prohibits C-structs from containing
references to Objective-C objects, all such fields are now typed
'gpointer'. Setting and gettings Objective-C fields on such a
struct now uses explicit __bridge_* calls to tell ARC about
object lifetimes.

Otherwise, when the application reuses the same UIView, we were getting
draw notifications on the previous view/layer's which weren't valid anymore
and were referencing pointers that had been freed.

Execute GL calls without marshalling them to the context thread. In the cocoa
and eagl backends calling gst_gl_context_activate is cheap and therefore calling
it on the current thread and serializing GL calls with a per-context lock is
more efficient (faster and has less overhead) than marshalling everything to the
context thread.
This optimization cuts a large overhead in g_poll (continuously waking up the
context thread) and in g_mutex_*/g_cond_* (waiting for results from the context
thread).
Intended for use with wrapped contexts that are created shared with gst's
gl contexts in order to manage the internal sharegroup state correctly.
e.g. with caopengllayer (which is used in glimagesink and caopengllayersink
on OS X), we create a CGL context from the gst context and the sharing state
was not being correctly set on either GL context and gst_gl_context_is_shared()
was always returning FALSE.
With 11fb4fff80 only flushing with multiple
shared contexts, the required flush was not occuring causing screen
corruption or stuttering.
Note: this didn't affect GST_GL_API=opengl pipelines
