This prevents adding duplicates over and over again to the resulting
caps if they already describe the new intersection result.
While this changes intersection from O(n*m) to O(n^2*m), it results in
smaller caps, which in the end will decrease further processing times.
For example in an audioconvert ! audioconvert ! audioconvert pipeline,
when forwarding the downstream caps preference in basetransform
(see e26da72de25a91c3eaad9f7c8b2f53ba888a0394) this results in
16 instead of 191 caps structures.
Resetting the result is not necessary when resyncing because
pads that previously got the event will be skipped and we
need to consider the results of the previous pushes.
Doing so avoids a large timestamp gap between first and second buffer
for live sources which take time to start up.
The first buffer now has a "live" timestamp based on the running time,
as other buffers do.

Add a GType to the metadata to identify the GstMetaInfo.
We can remove the (de)serialize functions for the metadata because we can
register GTtype transform functions between various types to implement
serialization later.
gst_structure_get_type() -> _gst_structure_type to avoid method calls for
getting the GType that initialized at the start.
Hide some structure fields in private data so that we can change the
implementation.
Move structure equality check from caps.c to structure.c where it belongs.
When we get the structure of an event, make sure it also contains the fields
that we keep in fast variables, this way we can easily serialize and debug
the events. We would probably later simply prefer to register a transform
function to G_TYPE_STRING and G_TYPE_BYTEARRAY etc..
Highlights:
- new parser base class: GstBaseParse
- new core element: funnel
- OSX multi-arch fixes
- new QoS type for QoS events
- new progress message API to notify applications of asynchronous operations
- countless other fixes and improvements
Hide the GstStructure of the event in the implementation specific part so that
we can change it.
Add methods to check and make the event writable.
Add a new method to get a writable GstStructure of the element.
Avoid directly accising the event structure.
Use the caps event to configure basetransform.
Remove force_alloc hack, we don't need this in 0.11 with new upstream
negotiation.
Avoid getting some pad caps.
Fix replace of caps events when linking: we need to unref the old ones.
Make sure we pass error values around.
Move backward compat code into the default handler for now.
