The name `gst_element_get_request_pad()` is confusing to people
learning GStreamer. `gst_element_request_pad_simple()` aims at
providing the exact same functionality, while making it more
explicit it is a simplified `gst_element_request_pad()`.
`gst_element_request_pad_simple()` is consistent with other
functions such as `gst_element_seek_simple`.
This commit deprecates `gst_element_get_request_pad()` so that a
compilation warning is emitted when used and incite developers
to use the more explicit `gst_element_request_pad_simple()`.

To allow the refcounting tracer to work better. In childproxy/iterator
these might be plain GObjects but gst_object_unref() also works on them.
In other places where it is never GstObject, g_object_unref() is kept.

Highlights of the features provided are:
* Faster builds on Linux (~40-50% faster)
* The ability to build with MSVC on Windows
* Generate Visual Studio project files
* Generate XCode project files
* Much faster builds on Windows (on-par with Linux)
* Seriously fast configure and building on embedded
... and many more. For more details see:

Building with Meson should work on both Linux and Windows, but may
need a few more tweaks on other operating systems.
When g_option_context_parse fails, context and error variables are not getting free'd
which results in memory leaks. Free'ing the same.
And replacing g_error_free with g_clear_error, which checks if the error being passed
is not NULL and sets the variable to NULL on free'ing.

GstPtpClock implements a PTP (IEEE1588:2008) ordinary clock in
slave-only mode, that allows a GStreamer pipeline to synchronize
to a PTP network clock in some specific domain.
The PTP subsystem can be initialized with gst_ptp_init(), which then
starts a helper process to do the actual communication via the PTP
ports. This is required as PTP listens on ports < 1024 and thus
requires special privileges. Once this helper process is started, the
main process will synchronize to all PTP domains that are detected on
the selected interfaces.
gst_ptp_clock_new() then allows to create a GstClock that provides the
PTP time from a master clock inside a specific PTP domain. This clock
will only return valid timestamps once the timestamps in the PTP domain
are known. To check this, the GstPtpClock::internal-clock property and
the related notify::clock signal can be used. Once the internal clock
is not NULL, the PTP domain's time is known. Alternatively you can wait
for this with gst_ptp_clock_wait_ready().
To gather statistics about the PTP clock synchronization,
gst_ptp_statistics_callback_add() can be used. This gives the
application the possibility to collect all kinds of statistics
from the clock synchronization.

Demultiplex a stream to multiple source pads based on the stream ids from the
stream-start events. This basically reverses the behaviour of funnel.

Fix up the manual in various places with the 1.0 way of doing things
such as probes, static elements, scheduling, ...
Add porting from 0.10 to 1.0 chapter.
Add probe example to build.
Remove some docs for remove components such as GstMixer and
GstPropertyProbe, XML...
Remove the user_data from the alloc vmethod. Subclasses that implement a new
alloc function can also implement their own vmethod to pass extra arguments. We
can then also require that custom allocators implement an alloc function so that
gst_allocator_alloc() always works.
Make GstAllocator a GstObject instead of a GstMiniObject, like bufferpool.
Make a new gstallocator.c file. Make a GstAllocator subclass for the default
allocator.
Expose the GstAllocation structure and provide an _init function. This makes it
easier to make 'subclasses' of the allocator that contain more info.
It also allows us to expose the flags on the allocator miniobject.
Make a flag to note that the allocator uses a custom alloc function.
