Don't use templates for the man pages, the API version change is a rare
event, so it's not really worth keeping in place the "sed" boilerplate
to have it set at build time.
Shipping the final man pages directly also makes it easer to install the
man pages with meson (in a future commit).
Note that now all the occurrences of the programs names have the API
version as a suffix.
Traditionally the example command lines looked like:
gst-launch ...
Now they look like:
gst-launch-1.0 ...
This reflects the actual programs names and makes it easier to copy and
paste the example commands.
Also, the .gitignore file is adjusted not to ignore the final man pages
anymore.
You may need to clean your src/build directory before pulling in this
patch.

When a line starts with a single quote it's treated in a special way by
man, which may result in paragraphs of the man page not rendered by the
man pager, so just avoid that.
A possible solution could have been to escape the singe quote with
a \(cq sequence but this is rather unreadable, instead the text has been
reformatted to have the problematic quoted 'ppc' string on the previous
line.

The portable way to have the dashes to be rendered as ASCII minuses is
to use the sequence backslash-dash, use this style at least for text
that can be copied and pasted (e.g. command names, file names, element
options).
Also use backslash-dash in the NAME section as suggested by lexgrog(1).

Commit 215cfcf993 (gstreamer: Fix memory leaks when context parse
fails) fixes some memory leak, but in one of the newly added calls to
g_clear_error() the wrong variable was passed.
When failing to parse command line options, free the "err" variable, not
the "error" one.

Introduce a new operator ':' - e.g. element1 ':' element2
For example, 'uridecodebin : encodebin' -
if the encodebin has multiple profiles compatible with the
decodebin, multiple links will be created.
With '!' , after one delayed link is successfully done, the
pad-added callback is disconnected.

This just confuses people, they look at it and try to call it
directly by name, instead of using the public GstElement API.
It stands to reason that it goes without saying that when an
element provides request pads that they can actually be
requested using the standard API, and there's no point in
printing internal implementation details of the element.

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.
Add missing 'else' and print caps and taglists without the
annoying duplicate string escaping, making both nicer to read.
Fixes string leak and coverity CID 1358492.
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.

gst-indent used to support gnuindent and indent as executable names.
However, on OSX one can "brew install gnu-indent" and then the
executable name will be gindent. Added support for that.
