If the element before the sink needs $n buffers to produce one output
buffer, we were reffing $n events and unreffing only one.
Prevent this by using g_object_set_qdata_full() to handle the event
unreffing so we're sure no ref will be lost.
The records are static and so appear as false positives when using those
tracers with the leaks tracer as well.
The leaks tracer was already setting this flag on its record so let's
set it on the other ones as well.
This will be useful in combination with the next commit when we add
API to get a list of active tracers so that consumers of the API can
easily distinguish tracer objects.
The pad name sotred in the latency event has no longer the name of the element,
so we have to get the element Id, element name and pad name values from the data
structure and compare all 3 values.
First, the event would be leaved, but also when an element takes
several buffers before producing one, we want the reported latency to be
the aggregation, so the distance from the oldest buffer.
This sets back the default to trace only pipeline latency, and add flags
to enabled element tracing. It is now possible to only trace element
latency, only trace pipeline latency, trace both or none.
This removes the passing of pad inside of a GstEvent. While this is not
a bug, it may affect the live time of the pad, hense change the pipeline
behaviour.
Include the timestamp of the recorded log as in the 'stats' tracer.
This can be useful, for example, to plot a graph showing the latency
over time.

The goal of this tracer is to measure the processing latency between a
src and a sink. In push mode, the time was read after the chain function
have returned. As the amount of time we wait to get synched is reverse
to the amount of latency the source introduced, the result was quite
surprising.
This patch moves the latency calculation in the pre-push hook. When
there is no processing in a a pipeline (e.g. fakesrc ! fakesink), the
latency will now be 0 as it's supposed to. For pull mode, the code was
already correct. When GstBaseSink operate in pull mode, the processing
time is done durring the pull, so pull-post is the right hook. The
synchronization will happen after the pull has ended. Note that
GstBaseSink rarely operate in pull mode.

Change the gst_tracer_record_new() api to take the parameters the make the
spec structure directly. This allows us to own the top-level structure and
also collect the args so that we can take ownership of the sub-structures.

We use this class to register tracer log entry metadata and build a log
template. With the log template we can serialize log data very efficiently.
This also simplifies the logging code, since that is now a simple varargs
function that is not exposing the implementation details.
Add docs for the new class and basic tests.
Remove the previous log handler.
Fixes#760267
This way one can define new tracing probes without changing the core. We are
using our own quark table, as 1) we only want to initialize them if we're
tracing, 2) we want to share them with the tracers.
Instead of a single invoke() function and a 'mask', register to individual
hooks. This avoids one level of indirection and allows us to remove the
hook enums. The message enms are now renamed to hook enums.
