gst_element_add_pad() is supposed to activate the pad if the element
state is >= PAUSED and the pad is not already active.
Unfortunately, before this patch, the activation was performed while the
element lock was still taken, which ended causing a deadlock in
gst_pad_start_task() as it attempted to post `stream-status` message in
the element, which also requires the element lock.
Elements could work around this bug by activating the pad manually
before adding it to the element.
This patch fixes the problem by performing pad activation only after the
element lock has been released.

Commit d3a66f9851 introduced a potential deadlock with two parallel release_pad
calls, where one could release the main multiqueue lock (qlock) while still
holding the reconf_lock and then calling other routines which in some conditions
may try to acquire qlock again. The second release_pad could already acquire the
qlock and then start waiting on reconf_lock, which may never be possible because
because the first one isn't releasing it until it can acquire qlock.
Fix it by holding reconf_lock for the whole durationg of qlock, making this
particular deadlock impossible.

On macOS, a Cocoa event loop is needed in the main thread to ensure
things like opening a GL window work correctly. In the past, this was
patched into glib via Cerbero, but that prevented us from updating it.
This workaround simply runs an NSApplication and then calls the
main function on a secondary thread, allowing GStreamer to correctly
display windows and/or system permission prompts, for example.

gst_plugin_load_by_name() assumed a plugin has a filename,
which isn't true for static plugins, leading to criticals.
If a plugin is already loaded, just return the loaded plugin,
which makes it work for static plugins as well as saving a
moment for already-loaded dynamic plugins.
Add locking in gst_plugin_is_loaded(), as a plugin may be
still being loaded in another thread.

This adds "id" variants to most debugging functions, and allows providing a
string identifier instead of a GObject.
This allows providing unified and clearer debug logs for all the
non-gobject-based items, and opens the way for more unified logging.
As an extension, copying the object name is avoided as much as possible, by
using it directly instead of going through another copy.

The event type for instant-rate-change events was poorly chosen,
leading to them being re-sent too late and even after EOS.
Add a mechanism in GstPad for the sticky event order to be
different to the value of the event type to fix that up.

When dealing with gapless input (i.e. streams with changing group-id in
GST_EVENT_STREAM_START), we need to take into account the elapsed
running-time (if applicable) in order to properly calculate levels and output
time. Without doing this all incoming data from future groups would be
considered as being "late" and would be consumed immediately.
This does **NOT** modify the actual segment and buffer times, and is only used
internally.

Introduce a new API that can return a GstTypeFind * with helper functions
and data set around buffer data.
While at it, drop factory field from GstTypeFindBufHelper. While it was
useful for logging, it was not passed through function arguments and keeping
it for logging would require an additional API increasing the API surface
and making it harder to use.

Use gst_debug_set_threshold_from_string's new reset behavior to undo
GST_DEBUG and ensure the logging tests have a known configuration.
`gst_debug_set_threshold_from_string ("LOG", TRUE)` has the same effect
as `gst_debug_set_threshold_from_string ("", TRUE)` followed by
`gst_debug_set_default_threshold (GST_LEVEL_LOG)`.
Don't bother remembering the default log level set when the test
started. It will get reset by the next test, anyway.

TLDR: Make `gst_set_threshold_from_string ("", TRUE)` reset *all*
threshold settings, including those set by previous invocations of
`gst_debug_set_threshold_from_string`.
The docs say:
@reset: %TRUE to clear all previously-set debug levels before setting
new thresholds
What actually happens is it sets the default threshold to `ERROR`,
leaves the patterns in place and calls
`gst_debug_category_reset_threshold` on each category.
In effect, any category that is matched by a pattern gets reset to that
threshold if the app changed it by directly invoking
`gst_debug_category_set_threshold`. All other categories are reset to
`ERROR`.
In my opinion this parameter currently has little value, as the same
effect can be achieved by including `ERROR` (without a pattern) in the
string, as in `"foo*:WARNING,*bar:INFO,ERROR"`.
What I actually expect it to do is reset *all* threshold settings,
including those set by previous invocations of
`gst_debug_set_threshold_from_string`, starting off with a clean slate
for the patterns provided with the call.
Otherwise there is no API to do this, besides:
- Painfully removing patterns one-by-one via
`gst_debug_unset_threshold_for_name` *if* you know what the patterns
are.
- Adding a `*:FOO` pattern to affect all categories, which makes the
default threshold useless and practically leaks all the old
patterns.
In my opinion this also makes it fit better into the layers of threshold
config, which is:
1. Temporary:
- `gst_debug_category_set_threshold`
- `gst_debug_category_reset_threshold`
2. Patterns:
- `gst_debug_set_threshold_for_name`
- `gst_debug_unset_threshold_for_name`
- `gst_debug_set_threshold_from_string`
- `GST_DEBUG`
3. Default:
- `gst_debug_set_default_threshold`

The scenario is the following:
* Thread 1 is pushing an EOS event on a sinkpad
* Thread 2 is pushing a STREAM_START event on the same sinkpad before Thread 1
returns. Note : It starts pushing the event after Thread 1 took the object lock.
There is a potential race between:
* The moment Thread 1 sets the EOS flag once it has finished sending the
event (via store_sticky_event). When it does that it has both the STREAM and
OBJECT lock
* The moment Thread 2 sends the STREAM_START event (Which should release that
EOS status), but removing the EOS flag is only done while holding the OBJECT
lock and not the STREAM_LOCK, which means it could be re-set by Thread 1 before
it then checks again the EOS flag (without the STREAM lock taken).
The EOS flag unsetting by STREAM_START should be done with the STREAM lock
taken, otherwise it will be racy.

With non-serialized sticky events, such as GST_EVENT_INSTANT_RATE, we both want
to store the event (for later re-linking) *AND* push the event in a non-blocking
way.
We therefore must *not* propagate pending sticky events if the event is "sticky
or serialized" but only if it's "serialized"

When using the child proxy notation (child::property=value) it may
happen that the target child does not exist at the time of parsing
(i.e: decodebin creates the encoder according to the contents of the
stream). On this cases, we want to delay the setting of the property
to later, when new elements are added. Previous logic performed a
delayed set even if the target child was found but the property
was not found in it. This should be treated as a failure because,
unlike missing elements, properties should not appear dynamically.
By not failing, typos in property names may go unnoticed to the end
user.

These tests relied on setting the name of an element twice to verify
that the last one set took precedence, however name is a CONSTRUCT property
and the parser now errors out when such properties are set twice, in

The purpose of a deep buffer copy is to be able to release the source
buffer and all its dependencies. Attaching the parent buffer meta to
the newly created deep copy needlessly keeps holding a reference to the
parent buffer.
The issue this solves is the fact you need to allocate more
buffers, as you have free buffers being held for no reason. In the good
cases it will use more memory, in the bad case it will stall your
pipeline (since codecs often need a minimum number of buffers to
actually work).

Starting with Meson 0.62, meson automatically populates the variables
list in the pkgconfig file if you reference builtin directories in the
pkgconfig file (whether via a custom pkgconfig variable or elsewhere).
We need this, because ${prefix}/libexec is a hard-coded value which is
incorrect on, for example, Debian.
Bump requirement to 0.62, and remove version compares that retained
support for older Meson versions.

- Avoid buildings all GSreamer plugins when building the doc as it takes
