Until now when doing `+test-clip blue +effect effect1 + effect effect2`
leaded to the following pseudo pipeline
videotestsrc ! effect2 ! effect1
given the `ges-launch` syntax this is quite unexpected and this needed
fixing

This allows user to be in control of when scaling happens in the pipeline.
It can be plugged as an effect and scaling will be forced to happen in
the effect instead of in the compositor.
Without this, it would not be possible for users to, for example,
crop a video source before scaling to the target source size.

When requesting an asset from different threads we had no
guarantee that during the time we lookup an asset (which didn't exist)
and the time we create the asset with the same type/ID another thread
could not end up doing the same thing. In turns we could end up with
2 different threads loading the exact same asset and the cache
basically forgetting about one of the entries meaning that the user
would never get notified about one of those being ready to be used.
There was also the case when requesting "sync" where the user was
requesting an asset while another thread is creating it so it was
still in "ASSET_INITIALIZING" state, meaning that the returned asset
would be NULL which would be considered as an error in apps.
Since the cache lock is recursive we can just take it during the whole
ges_asset_request_async call and have other method still hold it.

When a new discoverer was created for a thread so discovery could
recurse we could end up removing the wrong discoverer info from the
cache leading to freeing it while it was still discovering URIS, which
lead to the following assertion:

The manager keeps track of one discoverer per thread and in large applications
with hundreds of threads this can significantly increase memory pressure. So we
need to periodically clean-up the unused discoverers.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/-/merge_requests/5608>
When using deeply nested timelines with the `ges:` protocol the
formatters ends up trying to do discovery from the same thread current
discovery happens, leading to infinite freeze as GstDiscoverer can't run
several discoveries at the same time.
By ensuring that when calling `gst_discoverer_discover_uri_async` no
`GstDiscoverer` is set as "thread discoverer" we know that another
discoverer will be created if discovery recurses, effectively removing
the freeze.

Formatters might call "loaded" from the `gessrc` streaming thread
meaning that the `->formatters` field need to be protected.
Several other APIs are called from gesbasedemux, in some radom
thread, so we should ensure that this is all MT. safe, and the API
makes it simple.

ges-timeline-element property getter handler was using
g_value_take_object() with internal pointers of the element as
arguments, instead of g_value_set_object().
g_value_take_object() moves the ownership of the reference; hence,
when reading "timeline" the reference ownership of timeline is moved
away from the ges-timeline-element and into the GValue.
Since GValues are temporaries that are often discarded quickly after,
this can easily lead to a double free. This was causing
gst-editing-services / pythontests to crash when running
TestTrackElements.test_ungroup_regroup() because of an innocent read of
`clip2.props.timeline` around the end of the test.

Some NLE tests were calling ges_init() from the test suite
initialization function. This was causing them to deadlock when running
with glib 2.76.3.
ges_init() causes a GThreadPool to be initialized. Even if GES at this
point doesn't request any thread to be created, since glib 2.63.4+
(see 8aeca4fa64)
the first time a GThreadPool is initialized a "pool-spawner" thread is
created, which is later used by g_thread_pool_push().
The default behavior of the GStreamer check tests is to fork for every
test case. This is not safe if any thread has been created at this
point. In this particular case, GThreadPool preserves the state that
says a "pool-spawner" thread has been created, and will have access to
its mutex and condition variable, but their queues will have different
contents as the memory has been forked. In consequence, calls to
g_thread_pool_push() will deadlock.
The deadlock will not occur if running the tests with CK_FORK=no.
This patch modifies the affected tests to only call ges_init() from
inside the test cases, fixing the deadlock.

A significant portion of the NLE test suite was often timing out due to
the tests taking way longer than necessary because the sinks were
synchronizing to the clock, which is the default behavior for
fakevideosink and fakeaudiosink.
Notable was the case of nleoperation.c:test_pyramid_operations, that ran
through a 10 second stream twice. As the default timeout is 20 seconds,
this made the test flaky.

Allow a project to use gstreamer-full as a static library
and link to create a binary without dependencies.
Introduce the option 'gst-full-target-type' to
select the build type, dynamic(default) or static.
In gstreamer-full/static build configuration gstreamer (gst.c)
needs the symbol gst_init_static_plugins which is defined
in gstreamer-full.
All the tests and examples are linking with gstreamer but the
symbol gst_init_static_plugins is only defined in the gstreamer-full
library. gstreamer-full can not be built first as it needs to know what plugins
will be built.
One option would be to build all the examples and tests after
gstreamer-full as the tools.
Disable tools build in subprojects too as it will be built at the end of
build process.
