Move the controller to gstobject as a simple delegate. The controller and
controlsource are not classes in core. The controlsources stay separate as a lib
for now. This way we can avoid the qdata lookups.
Also remove controller_init(). There is no more need to link to controller for
elements.
Also sanitize the API. We now have functions to add properties like we had
methods to remove that. That avoids then ref count hacks we had in _new.
Make GstObject extend from GInitiallyUnowned, remove the FLOATING flag and use
GObject methods for managing the floating ref.
Remove class lock, it was a workaround for a glib < 2.8 bug.
Remove the parent-set and parent-unset signals, attempt to implement with notify
but disabled because deadlocks in deep-notify.
Since everything GstXML related has been deprecated, we can now skip the
libxml includes from the public headers when GST_DISABLE_DEPRECATED is
defined.
See #463435.
Pipeline serialisation to and from XML is horribly broken for all
but the most simple use cases, and will likely never be fixed.
Make sure everyone playing around with these tools is aware of
this, to avoid frustration. See countless bug reports in bugzilla.
Fixes bug #622685.
This makes it possible to easily get a *:5 debug log without all
the refcounting noise, and drastically reduces the number of lines
output for a normal log (46m to 28m for a 20min video). The full log
including refcounting information can still be gotten using *:7.
Fixes#620460.
This changes some APIs in compatible ways:
- Some functions now take "const char *" arguments, not "char *"
- Some structs now have "conts char *" members, not "char *"
The changes may cause warnings when compiling with the right warning
flags. You've been warned.
Also adds -Wwrite-strings as a warning flag in configure.ac.

Adds that warning to configure.ac
Includes a tiny change of the GST_BOILERPLATE_FULL() macro:
The get_type() function is no longer declared before being defined.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=611692
This avoids:
* triple-checking for the GType when type-checking is enabled (see #597260)
* Avoids going through an expensive no-argument checking which landed in
glib-2.22
* Avoids going through 2 extrac functions (g_object_new -> g_object_new_valist)
There's not much point in using GST_DEBUG_FUNCPTR with GObject
virtual functions such as get_property, set_propery, finalize and
dispose, since they'll never be used by anyone anyway. Saves a
few bytes and possibly a tenth of a polar bear.
This is slightly more efficient because the compiler can't do tail
recursion here and has to keep all stack frames.
Not that efficiency is that important here but I already had
the iterative version somewhere else and both are easy to read.

Assign debug statements to relevant categories instead of the 'default'
category so they don't get lost in debugging.

Callgrind micro optimisations.
Avoid array bounds checks and force inline of trivial function.
* gst/gstobject.c: (gst_object_set_name_default):
-1 is equivalent to letting glib to the strlen but then there is more
room for optimisations and it's not our fault.
* gst/gststructure.c: (gst_structure_id_empty_new_with_size):
no need to clear the array, we're cool.
* gst/gstvalue.c: (gst_type_is_fixed), (gst_value_is_fixed):
The most common _is_fixed() check is done on fundamental glib base
types so we check this first instead of doing a huge amount of
useless GST_TYPE_ARRAY calls.
