Async message delivery (where the posting thread gets blocked
until the message has been processed and/or freed) was pretty
much completely broken.
For one, don't use GMutex implementation details to check
whether a mutex has been initialized or not, esp. not
implementation details that don't hold true any more with
newer GLib versions where atomic ops and futexes are used
(spotted by Josep Torras). This led to async message
delivery no longer blocking with newer GLib versions on
Linux.
Secondly, after async delivery don't free mutex/GCond
embedded inside the just-freed message structure.
Use a new (private) mini object flag to signal GstMessage
that the message being freed is part of an async delivery
on the bus so that the dispose handler can keep the message
alive and the bus can free it once it's done cleaning up
stuff.
TRUE is 1, but every other non-zero value is also considered true. Comparing
for equality with TRUE would only consider 1 but not the others.
Also normalize booleans in a few places.
Don't rely on g_source_remove() because it operates on the main
context. If a signal watch was added to a new thread-default context
g_source_remove() would have no effect. So simply use
g_source_destroy() to avoid this problem.
Additionally the source_id was removed from GstBusPrivate because it
was redundant with the signal watch GSource also stored in that
structure.

Support for (nullable) was added to G-I at the same time as nullable
return values. Previous versions of G-I will not mark return values as
nullable, even when an (allow-none) annotation is present, so it is
not necessary to add (allow-none) annotations for compatibility with
older versions of G-I.

They are very confusing for people, and more often than not
also just not very accurate. Seeing 'last reviewed: 2005' in
your docs is not very confidence-inspiring. Let's just remove
those comments.
Clear the initial floating ref in the init function for
busses and clocks. These objects can be set on multiple
elements, so there's no clear parent-child relationship
here. Ideally we'd just not make them derive from
GInitiallyUnowned at all, but since we want to keep
using GstObject features for debugging, we'll just do
it like this.
This should also fix some problems with bindings, which
seem to get confused when they get floating refs from
non-constructor functions (or functions annotated to
have a 'transfer full' return type). This works now:
from gi.repository import GObject, Gst
GObject.threads_init()
Gst.init(None)
pipeline=Gst.Pipeline()
bus = pipeline.get_bus()
pipeline.set_state(Gst.State.NULL)
del pipeline;

These changes are to clean up syntax issues such as missing colons,
missing spaces, etc., and minor issues such as argument names in
headers not matching the implementation and/or documentation.
Add private replacements for deprecated functions such as
g_mutex_new(), g_mutex_free(), g_cond_new() etc., mostly
to avoid the deprecation warnings. We can't change most of
these in 0.10 because they're part of our API and ABI.
Drop in old GstBus code for the release to play it safe, since
regressions that are apparently hard to track down and reproduce
have been reported (on windows/OSX mostly) against the lockfree
version, and more time is needed to fix them.

... which happens in particular flushing a bus, possibly as part
of a state change, e.g. when having a pipeline in a pipeline
and then changing state back to NULL. The interior pipeline
will/might then flush the bus, which is a child bus from the
parent which does not have a poll anymore these days.
