The internal clock is only used for slaving against the remote clock, while
the user-facing GstClock can be additionally slaved to another clock if
desired. By default, if no master clock is set, this has exactly the same
behaviour as before. If a master clock is set (which was not allowed before),
the user-facing clock is reporting the remote clock as internal time and
slaves this to the master clock.
This also removes the weirdness that the internal time of the netclientclock
was always the system clock time, and not the remote clock time.

Allow for sub-classes which want to collate incoming buffers or
split them into multiple output buffers by separating the input
buffer submission from output buffer generation and allowing
for looping of one of the phases depending on pull or push mode
operation.

gst/gstmemory.c:570:38: error: implicit conversion from enumeration type 'GstMapFlags' to different enumeration
type 'GstLockFlags' [-Werror,-Wenum-conversion]
fail_unless (gst_memory_lock (mem, GST_MAP_WRITE));

This uses all of the netclientclock code, except for the generation and
parsing of packets. Unfortunately some code duplication was necessary
because GstNetTimePacket is public API and couldn't be extended easily
to support NTPv4 packets without breaking API/ABI.
We extend our calculations to work with local send time, remote receive time,
remote send time and local receive time. For the netclientclock protocol,
remote receive and send time are assumed to be the same value.
For the results, this modified calculation makes absolutely no difference
unless the two remote times are different.
This improves accuracy on wifi or similar networks, where the RTT can go very
high up for a single observation every now and then. Without filtering them
away completely, they would still still modify the average RTT, and thus all
clock estimations.
They don't necessarily use the same underlying clocks (e.g. on Windows), or
might be configured to a different clock type (monotonic vs. real time clock).
We need the values a clean system clock returns, as those are the values used
by the internal clocks.
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.

If the delay measurement is too far away from the median of the window of last
delay measurements, we discard it. This increases accuracy on wifi a lot.

We should do some more measurements with all these and check how much sense
they make for PTP. Also enabling them means not following IEEE1588-2008 by the
letter anymore.

GstPtpClock implements a PTP (IEEE1588:2008) ordinary clock in
slave-only mode, that allows a GStreamer pipeline to synchronize
to a PTP network clock in some specific domain.
The PTP subsystem can be initialized with gst_ptp_init(), which then
starts a helper process to do the actual communication via the PTP
ports. This is required as PTP listens on ports < 1024 and thus
requires special privileges. Once this helper process is started, the
main process will synchronize to all PTP domains that are detected on
the selected interfaces.
gst_ptp_clock_new() then allows to create a GstClock that provides the
PTP time from a master clock inside a specific PTP domain. This clock
will only return valid timestamps once the timestamps in the PTP domain
are known. To check this, the GstPtpClock::internal-clock property and
the related notify::clock signal can be used. Once the internal clock
is not NULL, the PTP domain's time is known. Alternatively you can wait
for this with gst_ptp_clock_wait_ready().
To gather statistics about the PTP clock synchronization,
gst_ptp_statistics_callback_add() can be used. This gives the
application the possibility to collect all kinds of statistics
from the clock synchronization.

gst_clock_wait_for_sync(), gst_clock_is_synced() and gst_clock_set_synced()
plus a signal to asynchronously wait for the clock to be synced.
This can be used by clocks to signal that they need initial synchronization
before they can report any time, and that this synchronization can also get
completely lost at some point. Network clocks, like the GStreamer
netclientclock, NTP or PTP clocks are examples for clocks where this is useful
to have as they can't report any time at all before they're synced.
