ges_uri_clip_asset_get_duration does not tell us what the duration in
the timeline needs to be. Especially when we have time effects, or
effects with finite max-durations. So we should no longer expect the
duration to stay the same when replacing assets. Instead, we just check
that the new max-duration would be compatible with the current in-point
(which was not checked before), and the clip would not be totally
overlapped if its duration-limit changes.
This is based on the assumption that each source is replaced one-to-one
in its track. If a source is replaced with nothing in the same track,
this check may be a little too strong (but still mostly weaker than
before). However, problems could occur if track selection does
something unexpected, such as placing the new source in a track not
previously occupied.

The out-point, which is an internal time, is used instead of the
duration for determining the control binding value at the end of the
element.
Also, allow the user to switch off the auto-clamping of control sources
if they are not desired. And allow them to clamp specific control sources
individually.
Also, fix a lot of memory leaks related to control sources. In
particular, releasing the extra ref gained by source in
g_object_get (binding, "control-source", &source, NULL);

If a layer priority sits between the priorities of two layers in the
timeline, i.e. it references a gap in the timeline's layers, then
ges_timeline_append_layer will never fill this gap and create the
desired layer, so the edit in timeline-tree would loop forever. So a
check was added to avoid this.
This would be a usage error, but a user can reasonably end up with a gap
in their layers if they remove a layer from the timeline.

Unlike ges_container_add, this lets you set the index and will check
that track selection did not fail. This is useful for time effects whose
addition would create an unsupported timeline configuration.
Also can use the clip add error in ges_timeline_add_clip to let the user
know when adding a clip to a layer that its in-point is set larger than
the max-duration of its core children.

Allow the user to register a child property of a base effect as a time
property. This can be used by GES to correctly calculate the
duration-limit of a clip when it has time effects on it. The existing
ges_effect_class_register_rate_property is now used to automatically
register such time effects for rate effects.

This was complexifying the implementation for very little gain.
Each source type should ideally have its own API.
In that patch we make it so we do not have to subclass anything
but instead use GESAsset to pass information about how the pipeline
should look like.

While this is not correct, we can't predict from what thread a
GstElement will be disposed as it might still be referenced by
a GstMessage somewhere which is freed by, any thread.
In this specific case we can assume that GES user will already have
let go his timeline reference and we should not avoid assert in that
specific case as it should be safe to let the timeline be destroyed
at that point.

Each active non-core child must have a corresponding active core child
in the same track. Therefore, if we de-activate a core child, we also
need to de-activate all the non-core children in the same track.
Similarly, if we activate a non-core child, we need to activate the
corresponding core child as well.

Make less assumptions about the priority of effects and core elements so
that the code would still work if the priority of an element was set
directly. In particular, the index of a top effect will always be its
position in the effect ordering.

We first change the duration of the splitted clip, then we add the new
clip to the layer and assign the tracks for its children. Normally, when
a clip is added to a layer it will have its track elements created, if
needed, and then assigned to their tracks. This will fail if any sources
would fully or triple overlap existing sources in the same track.
However, here we were adding the clip to the layer *and* avoiding the
track assignment process and instead setting the tracks explicitly. In
particular, the order was:
+ add new clip to layer with no tracks assigned
+ shrink the split clip
+ assign the tracks for the new clip
This has been changed to:
+ shrink the split clip
+ add new clip to layer with no tracks assigned
+ assign the tracks for the new clip
Thus, the order of events for any users connecting to object signals
will be close to that of adding another clip to the layer.

Any time a track element is added to a track, we need to check whether
we need to create a new corresponding auto-transition. This simply moves
the code from ges-clip.c to ges-timeline.c, where it is more appropriate.
Moreover, it technically opens the possibility for creating
auto-transitions for track elements in the timeline that have no
corresponding clip.

Make sure that the priority of an appended layer is the lowest (highest
in value) when appending a layer to the timeline. This change is
important when appending a layer to a timeline, which can easily have a
gap in priorities if a layer has been removed.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-editing-services/-/merge_requests/169>
Since a group can only have its priority set whilst it is part of a
timeline, we can simply let the timeline-tree handle the move, which it
can already do, whilst checking that the move would be legal (not break
the timeline configuration). All the group has to do now if update its
priority value if the priority of any of its children changes. It
doesn't even need to keep track of the layer priority offsets.
Also, added a check to ensure added children belong to the same
timeline.
Also moved the sigids from the GObject data to a g_hash_table, which is
clearer.

It should be sufficient to set the edit flag only on the toplevel, which
allows all of its children to know they are being edited and should not
move in response.
Also, removed some unnecessary setting/checking of this.
Also, supplied the ges_timeline_element_peak_toplevel, which unlike
ges_timeline_element_get_toplevel_parent, does not add a reference to
the toplevel. Some corresponding leaks in auto-transition have been
fixed by using this instead.

Only emit snapping-ended if we have a valid snap time. Moreover, we
should emit a new snapping-started even if we are snapping at the same
location. This is because a new snap will always correspond to a new edit,
possibly involving different snapping elements, which a user would want
to know about.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-editing-services/-/merge_requests/169>
Editing has been simplified by breaking down each edit into a
combination of three basic single-element edits: MOVE, TRIM_START, and
TRIM_END.
Each edit follows these steps:
+ Determine which elements are to be edited and under which basic mode
+ Determine which track elements will move as a result
+ Snap the edit position to one of the edges of the main edited element,
(or the edge of one of its descendants, in the case of MOVE), avoiding
moving elements.
NOTE: in particular, we can *not* snap to the edge of a neighbouring
element in a roll edit. This was previously possible, even though the
neighbour was moving!
+ Determine the edit positions for clips (or track elements with no
parent) using the snapped value. In addition, we replace any edits of
a group with an edit of its descendant clips. If any value would be
out of bounds (e.g. negative start) we do not edit.
NOTE: this is now done *after* checking the snapping. This allows the
edit to succeed if snapping would cause it to go from being invalid to
valid!
+ Determine whether the collection of edits would result in a valid
timeline-configuration which does not break the rules for sources
overlapping.
+ If all this succeeds, we emit snapping-started on the timeline.
+ We then perform all the edits. At this point they should all succeed.
The simplification/unification should make it easier to make other
changes.

Simplified keeping the start and the duration of a container/group up to
date with the earliest start of the children and the last end of the
children. The previous logic was spread between ges-group and
ges-container, now all the position handling is in ges-container.

The duration-limit is the maximum duration that can be set for the clip
given its current children and their properties. If a change in the
children properties causes this to drop below the current duration, it
is automatically capped by this limit.

If `add_child` and `set_parent` succeed we want to return TRUE, even if
the added element is no longer a child by the end of the method. This is
because some users may call ges_container_remove during `child-added`.
This shouldn't be considered an error.
Made sure that adding a new track only uses select-tracks-for-object for
core children to determine whether a track elements should be added to the
new track or not, and *not* any other track. In particular, there should
be *no* change in the existing tracks of the timeline when adding another
track. Moreover, a new track should not invoke the creation of track
elements for other tracks.

The property had been deprecated and is unused.
This property is not needed. Any internal time effect that an nleoperation
wraps is itself responsible for converting seek/segment timestamps.
Previously, the ghostpads were performing a rate conversion after the
rate element had already done so, essentially doubling their effect on
seeks and segment times. This was always unnecessary, but went unnoticed
by the tempochange test because it was using an identity element rather
than an actual rate-changing element.
