8177173db0 element: Add gst_element_call_async()
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.

f876306638 utils: expose pad_link_maybe_ghosting
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

fa12d23a17 element: add gst_element_class_add_static_pad_template()
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.

10b78d872b tracerrecord: add a log record class
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.

Other gst libraries and/or elements may want to add some debug logging to an

d5ded15889 bin: implement context propagation when adding elements
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.

4d4e436376 Add GstParentBufferMeta
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.

d61ba38118 memory: provide a mem_map_full that takes the GstMapInfo
Follow up of 7130230ddb

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.

fe3249b0e1 clock: Add GST_CLOCK_FLAG_NEEDS_STARTUP_SYNC and related API
gst_clock_wait_for_sync(), gst_clock_is_synced() and gst_clock_set_synced()
plus a signal to asynchronously wait for the clock to be synced.

This can be used by clocks to signal that they need initial synchronization
before they can report any time, and that this synchronization can also get
completely lost at some point. Network clocks, like the GStreamer
netclientclock, NTP or PTP clocks are examples for clocks where this is useful
to have as they can't report any time at all before they're synced.

f9e5178dd1 gstvalue: Add GstFlagSet type
GstFlagSet is a new type designed for negotiating sets
of boolean capabilities flags, consisting of a 32-bit
flags bitfield and 32-bit mask field. The mask field
indicates which of the flags bits an element needs to have
as specific values, and which it doesn't care about.

This allows efficient negotiation of arrays of boolean
capabilities.

The standard serialisation format is FLAGS:MASK, with
flags and mask fields expressed in hexadecimal, however
GstFlagSet has a gst_register_flagset() function, which
associates a new GstFlagSet derived type with an existing
GFlags gtype. When serializing a GstFlagSet with an
associated set of GFlags, it also serializes a human-readable
form of the flags for easier debugging.

It is possible to parse a GFlags style serialisation of a
flagset, without the hex portion on the front. ie,
+flag1/flag2/flag3+flag4, to indicate that
flag1 & flag4 must be set, and flag2/flag3 must be unset,
and any other flags are don't-care.

abdafb0d64 protection: add GstProtectionMeta to support protected content
In order to support some types of protected streams (such as those
protected using DASH Common Encryption) some per-buffer information
needs to be passed between elements.

This commit adds a GstMeta type called GstProtectionMeta that allows
protection specific information to be added to a GstBuffer. An example
of its usage is qtdemux providing information to each output sample
that enables a downstream element to decrypt it.

This commit adds a utility function to select a supported protection
system from the installed Decryption elements found in the registry.
The gst_protection_select_system function that takes an array of
identifiers and searches the registry for a element of klass Decryptor that
supports one or more of the supplied identifiers. If multiple elements
are found, the one with the highest rank is selected.

This commit adds a unit test for the gst_protection_select_system
function that adds a fake Decryptor element to the registry and then
checks that it can correctly be selected by the utility function.

This commit adds a unit test for GstProtectionMeta that creates
GstProtectionMeta and adds & removes it from a buffer and performs some
simple reference count checks.
