gcc 6 has problems detecting and avoiding throwing
a warning for tautological compares in macros (they
should only trigger for compares outside macros).
Avoid them with a nasty cast of one parameter to void *

Other gst libraries and/or elements may want to add some debug logging to an
external debug system or implement delayed debugging for performance reasons.
Exposes the internal __gst_vasprintf as gst_info_vasprintf which has a fallback
to g_vasprintf if the debug system is disabled.

API: GST_LEVEL_MAX
By compiling gstreamer (or plugins) with GST_LEVEL_MAX defined, only
the debugging statements at or below that level will be compiled in.
This allows compiling in some debugging (like errors and warnings) which
helps in debugging, but without the full cpu/memory overhead of all debugging
enabled.
Does not do anything yet. On a sidenote, we can't just use
%p\001 or so to signal the extension because g-i complains
about an invalid ascii character then, so have to resort to
something more elaborate, such as %p\aA etc.

and remove all the printf extension/specifier stuff for
the system printf. Next we need to add back the custom
specifiers to our own printf implementation.

This was a FIXME for 0.11. I guess a case could be made to keep it around
separately for apps or libraries that only want to use GStreamer's debugging
system, but it seems more likely they'd just copy the two source files into
their own tree if the case. Also, things like types wouldn't be initialised
without gst_init(). We can still make it public again if anyone needs it,
but then we should make it a proper function and not hide it behind
underscores.
The refactoring of gst_debug_add_log_function() now causes build failure when
debug-logging is turned off. Just move it to the conditional part of the header.
Make adding/removing gst_debug_log_default() work reliably in all
circumstances. The problem was that depending on platform and linker
flags the function argument might resolve to different addresses,
which made it impossible to remove the default log function added
in gst_init() from application code (because the pointer values
didn't match). The new approach should keep things simple by passing
NULL for the default function, which the code in libgstreamer can
then handle.

Forgot those when adding the original API, just like the API markers
in the commit message:

API: GST_LEVEL_TRACE
Fixes compilation with --disable-gst-debug
This makes it possible to easily get a *:5 debug log without all
the refcounting noise, and drastically reduces the number of lines
output for a normal log (46m to 28m for a 20min video). The full log
including refcounting information can still be gotten using *:7.
Fixes#620460.
Adds that warning to configure.ac
Includes a tiny change of the GST_BOILERPLATE_FULL() macro:
The get_type() function is no longer declared before being defined.

Add a new macro GST_DEBUG_CATEGORY_GET to get a log category by name. This
allows plugins to use e.g. core categories like PERFORMANCE or CLOCK.
API: GST_DEBUG_CATEGORY_GET
Just in case someone who clearly can't be deterred by any number of leading
underscores uses this very private but still somewhat documented symbol
directly in their code (*cough* qtdemux *cough*).
When its disabled, we poison some symbols to force a build error if they are
used. Dunno how useful this acually is, but we need to disable the poisoning
when we include this ourself. Also don't define some of the dummies, as they
are getting replaced with defines and that creates code that does not compile.
