Basic API to attach overlay rectangles to buffers,
or blend them directly onto raw video buffers.
To be used primarily for things like subtitles or
logo overlays, not meant to replace videomixer.
Allows us to associate subtitle overlays with
non-raw video surface buffers, so that subtitles
are not lost and can instead be rendered later
when those surfaces are displayed or converted,
whilst re-using all the existing overlay plugins
and not having to teach them about our special
video surfaces. Could also have been made part
of the surface buffer abstraction of course, but
a secondary goal was to consolidate the blending
code for raw video into libgstvideo, and this
kind of API allows us to do both in a way that's
minimally invasive to existing elements, and at
the same time is fairly intuitive.
More features and extensions like the ability to
pass the source data or text/markup directly will
be added later.

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'll change these
over to the new API once we depend on glib >= 2.32.
Replace g_thread_create() with g_thread_try_new().
gst_tag_image_data_to_image_buffer() ->
gst_tag_image_data_to_image_sample() And make it return a GstSample.
Store the image-type into the extra sample info.
Remove a deprecated tag
Make appsink return a GstSample. Remove the pull_buffer_list method because it
is not very useful anymore.
Pass GstSample to the conversion function.
Update playbin2 and examples
The output size of a buffer does not depend on the input size but simply on the
caps of the output buffers. Don't let the base implementation deal with
unit_sizes, because input buffers might not be a multiple of that when they have
padding or non-default strides. instead, implement a transform size function
that simply calculate the natural size of an output buffer based on the caps.
Remove old useless caps code.
Make a negotiate function and use the configured caps as the caps on the appsrc
pad. If nothing was configured, fall back to the parent implementation.
Doing dynamic pipelines is hard in 0.10. As we don't have the sticky events in
0.10 and sending such events in special elements like adder and tee was outvoted
on last attempt, be graceful to the misbehaviour instead.
This happens when the internal elements are added before any NEWSEGMENT
event arrived and in that case we shouldn't send a NEWSEGMENT event
to the internal elements at all. They will get the NEWSEGMENT event
from upstream later.
