With the addition of the 'keep-aspect-ratio' sizing policy, content
that doesn't fit the target size is downscaled according to its own
aspect ratio to fit that target size, and centered.
Centering might not always be the desired behaviour, however;
consumers of this API might want to align the resulting picture to
the left or to the right.
To account for any of these cases, add two new properties to the
glvideomixer pad: xalign, and yalign. They operate on normalized
coordinates (0.0 for start, 1.0 for end), and default to 0.5 which
centers content.

The sizing policy allows selecting between the current behavior,
which deforms the texture to fill the width and height of the
pad; and a new 'keep-aspect-ratio' sizing policy, which fits the
texture within the rectangle respecting its original aspect ratio.
The reason for this is that this allows avoiding extra elements
in the pipeline, and reduces the number of buffer passing through
the pipeline.
Most of this code is a direct port of the sizing policy handling
of the compositor element, except it is adapted to operate on GL
texture coordinates through the projection matrix.

As the path to the gir file is passed to hotdoc.generate_doc() and
not the build target itself, meson doesn't know about the dependency.
In turn, as the CI doesn't build everything before building the
documentation target, some gir files might not exist, for instance
in the case of gst-rtsp-server, causing the output documentation to
be empty.
The error occurred silently because hotdoc accepts wildcards for
*-sources arguments, thus it won't warn about a missing gir file as
it is legitimate for glob matching to resolve to nothing.

This was the intention from the start, just took me a few years *cough* to
actually implement it properly.
Gapless is handled by re-using as much as possible the same decoders and sinks
if present, and only pre-rolling switching at the sources level (with buffering
if/when needed).
In order to enable "gapless" playback, the "next" uri should be set at any time
between the moment the `about-to-finish` signal is emitted and the moment the
current play item is done. Previously this could only be done with the signal
emission.
This new implementation also allows "Instantaneous URI switching". This allows a
much faster way of switching playback entries while re-using as many elements as
possible. To enable this set `instant-uri` property to TRUE, the default being
FALSE.

Introduce the option to have the streams be parsed with `parsebin` for
compatible sources (i.e. which are eligible for buffering in the same way as
before this commit).
By parsing the inputs directly, this allows more accurate buffering control:
* Instead of relying on potential bitrate information coming from somewhere
* and *without* being linked downstream
If `parse-streams` is activated and the stream is eligible for buffering, then a
`multiqueue` will be used on the output of `parsebin` in order to handle the
buffering.
API: `parse-streams`

This allows users to let videorate fully fill the segments when received
EOS or on new segment, removing an arbitrary limit of 25 duplicates which
might not be what the user wants (for example on low FPS stream in GES,
that sometimes leaded to broken behavior)

Now that videoconvert and videoscale's are both based on
GstVideoConverter and are using the exact same code, it makes much more
sense to have one element doing the two operation, and it can be
more efficient in some cases (one single path for both operations).
This removes the `videoscale` and `videoconvert` plugins but keeps the element
but makes them also do both operations (adding some APIs to each element).
There is a small change in API for the `videoscale:dither` property which
was previously a totally unused boolean, it is now an enum and is used.

If a file includes a new version of a plugin that exits in the
registry, the output of gst-inspect is incorrect. The output has the
correct version but incorrect filename, and element description.
This seems to have also fixed some documentation issues.

Hotdoc should be able to extract and parse comments out of these. Just
need to be careful to only add the glob in directories that actually
contain *.m (objc) and *.mm (objcpp) files.
Also fix some doc comments and remove redundant ones.

... in favour of dep.get_variable('foo', ..) which in some
cases allows for further cleanups in future since we can
extract variables from pkg-config dependencies as well as
internal dependencies using this mechanism.

Introduces a `libraries` variable that contains all libraries in a
list with the following format:
``` meson
libraries = [
[pkg_name, {
'lib': library_object
'gir': [ {full gir definition in a dict } ]
],
....
]
```
It therefore refactors the way we build the gir so that we can reuse the
same information to build them against 'gstreamer-full' in gst-build
when linking statically
