All UI elements will follow Single-Threaded Apartments (STA) model.
As a result, we should access them from dedicated UI thread.
Due to the nature of the threading model, ANGLE will wait the UI
thread while closing internal window/swapchain objects.
A problem here is that when destroying GstGLWindow from the UI thread,
it will wait GstGLContext's internal thread. Meanwhile, the GstGLContext's
internal thread will be blocked because ANGLE wants to access the UI thread.
That will cause a deadlock or exceptions.
In short, application should not try to call
gst_element_set_state(pipeline, GST_STATE_NULL) from a UI thread.
That's a limitation of current implementation.

Add property "handle-segment-change" for user to allow pushing
custom segment event. For now, this property can work only for
time format GstSegment.
This property can be useful in case application controls timeline
of stream such as there is timestamp discontinuity but playback is
expected to be continuous. Multi-period scenario of MPEG-DASH is an
example of this use case.

Since we are using VideoMeta, the converter (similarly to the video_frame_copy
utility) should have no issue dealing with frames that are slightly larger.
This situation occure as some element will use padded width/height for
allocation, which results in a VideoMeta width/height being larger then the
display width/height found in the negotiated caps.

We added GL_CFLAGS in autotools because we unconditionally included OpenGL
headers. We do not do that anymore for a standard #include <gst/gl/gl.h>.
OpenGL headers are only included for the platform specific files
e.g. #include <gst/gl/x11/gstgldisplay_x11.h> which must always be hidden
behind a #if GST_GL_HAVE_WINDOW_X11, or #include <gst/gl/gstglfuncs.h> to
gain access to the contents of the GstGLFuncs object.
Users of our headers must include the necessary include paths for the
platforms they are intending to support.
We might introduce extra .pc files for what GstGL was built against though.

Whenever a new collection is calculated, the internal `select_streams_seqnum`
variable is reset. This ensures that we reliably know whether a select-streams
event has been received for that new collection.
Use that to decide whether we should add previously un-selected streams or new
streams in the current selection

For example, BT709, BT601, and BT2020_10 all have theoretically
different transfer functions, but the same function in practice. In
these cases, we should use the fast path for negotiating. Also,
BT2020_12 is essentially the same as the other three, just with one more
decimal point, so it gives the same result for fewer bits. This is now
also aliased to the former three.
Also make videoconvert do passthrough if the caps have equivalent
transfer functions but are otherwise matching.
As of the previous commit, we write the correct transfer function for
BT601, instead of the (functionally identical but different ISO code)
transfer function for BT709. Files created using GStreamer prior to that
commit write the wrong transfer function for BT601 and are, strictly
speaking, 2:4:5:4 instead. However, this commit takes care of
negotiation, so that conversions from/to the same transfer function are
done using the fast path.

To document it, we instantiate a subclass and inspect the properties
on the created object. Subclasses (in that case textrender) may
initialize those properties with a different default, we do not
want to expose that in the base class documentation.

It is possible for subtitle files to have a string length less than 30.
WebVTT for example may contain only the 'WEBVTT' string in the file
without any cues.
As an example in hls streams, since WEBVTT files can be segmented
like video/audio, some subtitle segments may only contain just the
header string.
