Starting with libsoup3, there is no attempt to handle thread safety
inside the library, and it was never considered fully safe before
either. Therefore, move all session handling into its own thread.
The libsoup thread has its own context and main loop. When some
request is made or a response needs to be read, an idle source
is created to issue that; the gstreamer thread issuing that waits
for that to be complete. There is a per-src condition variable to
deal with that.
Since the thread/loop needs to be longer-lived than the soup
session itself, a wrapper object is provided to contain them. The
soup session only has a single reference, owned by the wrapper
object.
It is no longer possible to force an external session, since this
does not seem to be used anywhere within gstreamer and would be
tricky to implement; this is because one would not have to provide
just a session, but also the complete thread arrangement made in
the same way as the system currently does internally, in order to
be safe.
Messages are still built gstreamer-side. It is safe to do so until
the message is sent on the session. Headers are also processed on
the gstreamer side, which should likewise be safe.
All requests as well as reads on the libsoup thread are issued
asynchronously. That allows libsoup to schedule things with as
little blocking as possible, and means that concurrent access
to the session is possible, when sharing the session.

Intel drivers expose some colorbalance's maximum values much more
bigger than their minimum values, given their middle values (default
value). This means, in practice, that the real middle point between
the maximum and minimum values implies a major change in the color
balance, which is not expected by the GStreamer color balance logic.
This patch makes the given maximum value symmetrical to the minimum
value, given the middle one (default value).

It was getting pulled in automatically via cairo, but the version

As now, we warn if the decoder have no support src pixel format, but that
warning is called before the type (hence the debug category) is initialized.
Fix this by moving the debug category init out of the type initialization,
into the register funcitons.
This will fix an assertion that occures in the register function and allow
relevant log to be seen by the users.

Those will cause us to renegotiate at the next aggregate cycle,
and while at that point we may decide to reconfigure upstream
branches (in practice we don't as this is inherently racy,
and that's the reason why mixer subclasses perform conversion
internally), we certainly don't want to just forward the event
willy-nilly to all our sinkpads.
An actual issue this is fixing is when caps downstream of a
compositor are changed at every samples-selected signal emission,
for the purpose of interpolating the output geometry, and the
compositor has a non-zero latency, the reconfigure events were
forwarded to basesrc, which triggered an allocation query, which
in turn caused aggregator to have to drain (thus not being able
to queue <latency> frames), leading to disastrous effects
(choppy output as compositor couldn't consume frames fast enough,
the higher the latency the choppier the output)

The merge request workflow can be confusing to people unfamiliar with
it, so add screenshots.
Also add a new section on how to revise merge requests, since a lot of
people tend to open new merge requests to make any changes.
Eliminate the separate "How to Prepare a Merge Request for Submission"
section -- merge it with the main section.

This is usually necessary to allow gst-indent to treat it as

have extra semicolons in other places that this macro is used in the

When fixating color, there might be "other caps" with color spaces not
supported by the caps features exposed in the vapostproc's source pad
caps template (perhaps it's a bug somewhere else in GStreamer).
This solution checks if the proposed format exists in the filter
within the caps feature associated with the proposed format.
The check is done with the new filter's function
gst_va_filter_has_video_format().

In the need-data appsrc callback, a buffer is pulled from the
appsink. This buffer is then copied so that metadata is writable.
The copy is pushed to the appsrc but it doesn't take ownership
of the buffer so we need to manually unref it. The original buffer
is finally unreffed when the sample is freed.

This is due to an unsafe usage of the pad task. We didn't ensure proper
ownership of the task. That race involved the task being released too early,
and was detected, luckily, by the glib mutex implementationt that
reported the mutex being disposed while being locked.

On Android (especially) and for static builds in general it is safer to link
against libsoup and have the dynamic custom loading disabled. For those cases we
can safely assume the application will use either libsoup2 or libsoup3 and not
both.

The earlier size of 2 MB was set back in 2009, it doesn't
seem unreasonable to raise it to 8 MB these days. The use
case at hand is matroskademux containing both a video stream

and a H265 stream.

It is an extremely common mistake on Windows to have incorrect PATH
values when loading a plugin, and the error from g_module_error()
(which just calls FormatMessageW()) is very confusing in this case:
The specified module could not be found.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/debug/system-error-codes--0-499-#ERROR_MOD_NOT_FOUND
It implies the plugin itself could not be found. The actual issue is
that a DLL dependency could not be found. We need to detect this case
and print a more useful error message.
We should still print the error fetched from FormatMessage() so that
people are able to google for it.

If the `area_surface` got unmapped when changing to the `READY` or
`NULL` state, we currently don't remap it when playback resumes and
`wp_viewporter` is supported. Without `wp_viewporter` we do remap
it, but rather unintentionally and also when not wanted.
On Weston this has not been a big problem as it so far wrongly maps
subsurfaces of unmapped surfaces anyway - i.e. only the black
background was missing on resume. On other compositors and future
Weston this prevents the `video_surface` to get remapped.
Shuffle things around to ensure `area_surface` is mapped in the
right situations and do some minor cleanup.

Latest ffmpeg has removed avcodec_get_context_defaults(), and its
documentation says a new AVCodecContext should be allocated for this
purpose. The pointer returned by avcodec_find_decoder() is now
const-qualified so we also need to adjust for it. And, AVCOL_RANGE_MPEG
is now rejected with strict_std_compliance > FF_COMPLIANCE_UNOFFICIAL.

The later, doing damage in surface coordinates instead of buffer
coordinates, has been deprecated. The reason for that is that it
is more prone to bugs, both on the client and the compositor side,
especially when paired with buffer scale, `wp_viewporter` or
buffer transforms.
Unfortunately, on Weston this risks running into
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/weston/-/issues/446
(which causes trouble for several other projects as well). However,
that bug only affects cases where we run in sync mode, i.e. only
during resizes. In practise I haven't been able to observe the
issue.

Each time we call `wl_surface_damage()` we want to do full surface
damage. Like Mesa, just use `G_MAXINT32` to ensure we always do
full damage, reducing the need to track the right dimensions.
`window->video_rectangle` is now unused, but we keep it around for
now as we may need it again in the future.

From the spec:
> This request is used to describe the regions where the pending
> buffer is different from the current surface contents
We currently also call `wl_surface_damage()` on surfaces without
new or still compositor-hold buffers, e.g. when resizing the window.
In that case we call it on `area_surface_wrapper`, even though it
gets resized via `wp_viewport_set_destination()`, in which case
the compositor is in charge of repainting the area on screen.
Doing so is currently not forbidden by the spec, however it might
be in the future, see
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland/-/issues/267
Thus lets stay close to the spec and only call `wl_surface_damage()`
when we just attached a buffer.
Right now this prevents runtime assertions in Mutter.

`gst_wl_window_set_opaque` does not get called on window resizes,
potentially leaving opaque regions too small.
According to the spec opaque regions can be bigger than the surface
size - parts that fall outside of the surface will get ignored.
Thus we can can simply use `G_MAXINT32` and be sure that the whole
surfaces will always be covered.

If the VANC track does contain packets, but we skip over all packets, just
treat it the same as if there hadn't been any packets at all and send a
GAP event instead of erroring out with "Failed to handle essence element".
We would error out because when we reach the end of the loop without having
found a closed caption packet the flow return variable is still FLOW_ERROR
which is what it has been initialised to.

The previous code was mistakenly trying to compute a cc_type out
of the first byte in the byte triplet, whereas it is to be interpreted
as:
> Bit b7 of the LINE value is the field number (0 for field 2; 1 for field 1).
> Bits b6 and b5 are 0. Bits b4-b0 form a 5-bit unsigned integer which
> represents the offset
