We already have internally the information on what type of stream (audio,
video, container, subtitle, ...) a certain caps is.
Instead of forcing callers to specify which CODEC_TAG category a certain
caps is, use that information to make a smart choice.
Does not break previous behaviour of gst_pb_utils_add_codec_description_to_tag_list
(if tag is specified it will be used, if caps is invalid it will be rejected,
...).

So people can check what version of the gst-plugins-base libs they're
building against or linked against.
API: GST_PLUGINS_BASE_VERSION_MAJOR
API: GST_PLUGINS_BASE_VERSION_MINOR
API: GST_PLUGINS_BASE_VERSION_MICRO
API: GST_PLUGINS_BASE_VERSION_NANO
API: GST_CHECK_PLUGINS_BASE_VERSION
API: gst_plugins_base_version()
API: gst_plugins_base_version_string()
It doesn't make sense to ask installers for the same codec or element twice, so filter out duplicate requests before calling the external helper script and make the unit test check this works right. Fixes#567636.
Original commit message from CVS:
* gst-libs/gst/pbutils/descriptions.c: (formats),
(format_info_get_desc):
* tests/check/libs/pbutils.c: (GST_START_TEST), (caps_strings),
(GST_START_TEST):
Add one or two missing formats. Generate ADPCM description
dynamically depending on layout/format.

API: also add gst_install_plugins_supported() while we're at it
(see #470456).

* gst-libs/gst/pbutils/missing-plugins.c:
* gst-libs/gst/pbutils/missing-plugins.h:
* tests/check/libs/pbutils.c:
API: add gst_missing_*_installer_detail_new() convenience API so
that applications that know exactly what they're missing can request
installer detail strings for those items directly instead of having
to first create a dummy missing-plugin message and then get the
installer detail string from that. Fixes#470456.
Original commit message from CVS:
* gst-libs/gst/utils/install-plugins.c:
* gst-libs/gst/utils/missing-plugins.c:
* tests/check/libs/utils.c: (missing_msg_check_getters):
Change GStreamer marker prefix in detail string from 'gstreamer.net'
to just 'gstreamer'. Document the caps string component of the
decoder/encoder detail a bit better, since not everyone will be
familiar with the GStreamer media type/caps system (but they better
enjoy nested itemized lists).
Original commit message from CVS:
* tests/check/libs/utils.c: (GST_START_TEST):
Fix unit test. Turns out things work much better when you
NULL-terminate string arrays. Should make p5 build bot happy again.
Original commit message from CVS:
* gst-libs/gst/utils/install-plugins.c:
(gst_install_plugins_spawn_child):
* tests/check/libs/utils.c:
(test_base_utils_install_plugins_do_callout):
Lowering log level to see why things fail on the p5 build bot;
fix some typos in unit test messages.
Original commit message from CVS:
* tests/check/libs/utils.c:
(test_base_utils_install_plugins_do_callout):
Don't hard-code temp directory for test helper; use GLib functions
to write out file and do error checking etc.

* gst-libs/gst/utils/install-plugins.h:
API: add API for applications to initiate installation of missing
plugins, ie. gst_install_plugins_async() primarily.
Based on libgimme-codec by Ryan Lortie.
* configure.ac:
Add --with-install-plugins-helper configure option so distros can specify
the path of the helper script or program to call when plugin installation
is requested (distros: please do any argument munging in this helper
script instead of patching GStreamer to pass arguments differently
to another program directly).
* docs/libs/gst-plugins-base-libs-docs.sgml:
* docs/libs/gst-plugins-base-libs-sections.txt:
Build and document new API.
* tests/check/libs/utils.c: (result_cb),
(test_base_utils_install_plugins_do_callout), (GST_START_TEST),
(libgstbaseutils_suite):
Some simple checks for the new API.
