The unit test defines a test parse element that inherit from GstBaseParse.
The test pipeline is: fakesrc ! testparse ! fakesink sync=1
Before the fix b2c05cac8 the first new test would have fail because the
pipeline would have wait doing nothing just after proceeded the seek event.
The second new test would have fail because the pipeline would have
played the media instantly just after proceeded the seek event
(like if sync was FALSE on the sink).

Otherwise when seeking/looping to the start when reaching the end,
the sink waits for the duration of the stream. So the user hears
nothing for the duration of the stream before it actually loop again.
See example attached to the bug for that.
Existing test:
gst-plugins-good/tests/icles/test-segment-seeks foo.flac
Without the patch the user hears a crack/cut at each seek.

New API functions to filter log messages before they are processed by
GstCheck. This can be used to discard specific messages that are
accepted by the test or to add callbacks that test specific messages.
Default bevavior when no callback is given to a filter is to discard the
message, because it does not makes sense to have a filter with no
callback which does not discard; that would be a noop.
Discarded messages will in addition to bypass the GstCheck handling also
return to GLib that the message is not fatal if it occurs.

This can easily deadlock if the element uses the object lock for
something internally, like posting an error message. Use an GstIterator
for iterating over the pads instead.

Generating those files is useful for users building the GStreamer stack
using meson and having to link it to another project which is still
using the autotools.

When registering a new debug category after _debug_init(), we need to
re check the GST_DEBUG filter settings again.
In addition when parsing the filter setting, we need to already bump up
the min-debug level to not suppress debug log statments that dynamically
register a category. This happens in libraries that use a function to
register a category on first use.
A property not defined in a preset file can simply mean that the
user wants it to be set as it default value, and we should not warn
about that.
A missing preset file in a directory can happen has there are several
directory where a preset can be found in.
Saves us a custom script. Template files are nicer than passing
multiline templating stuff through to glib-mkenums. And we can
get rid of our custom python script.
It's a programming error to pass other pads here, and it easily causes
crashes or other problematic behaviour down the road as subclasses
usually assume to only get their pads.
