This is a meta that generically allows to attach additional reference
timestamps to a buffer, that don't have to relate to the pipeline clock
in any way.
Examples of this could be an NTP timestamp when the media was captured,
a frame counter on the capture side or the (local) UNIX timestamp when
the media was captured.

This is useful for integration with other event loops that work by
polling file descriptors. G_IO_IN will always be set whenever a message
is available currently.

This patch changes the entry point of each plugin in order to unify the
interface for static and dynamic plugin. What we do is replace the
current static plugin interface and extend the dymamic one. The plugin
entry was a C structure, name "gst_plugin_desc". With this patch, the
interface is now:
GstPpluginDesc *gst_plugin_<name>_get_desc(void);
The reason we change the C structure into function, is that it is
potentially more common to have function pointers, avoiding possible
binding language limitation. Additionally to that. This change prevents
the symbols from clashing between plugins, allowing to build once the
plugin (assuming you have -fPIC).
On the plugin loader side, we symply derive the shared object basename
to extract the plugin name. If this symbol is not found, we fallback to
gst_plugin_desc for backward compatibility.
This has one side effect, which is that the shared objects now need to
be named after their plugin name. This is generally the case with few
exceptions. The benifit of this limitation is that you can control the
gst_plugin_<name>_desc clash at file level.

This will interfere with 'git pull'. You will have to remove the
old generated gst-element-check-1.0.m4 manually if you're pulling
on a dirty build directory, sorry.

gst_harness_new_parse() returns without any error even if it doesn't
find the specified element. Then a succeeding call to
gst_harness_set_sink_caps_str() causes an error like this:
Unexpected critical/warning: gst_pad_push_event: assertion 'GST_IS_PAD (pad)' failed
This is a bit cryptic and doesn't give users any clue what was going
on.
gst_harness_new_parse() calls gst_harness_add_parse() with a newly
created empty harness and the given pipeline description string, but
gst_harness_add_parse() does not have a way to propagate the error
back to the caller. Since the function, gst_harness_add_parse(), is a
public API, it's not a good idea to change its signature. This patch,
instead, makes the function to g_error() when it discovers any error.
With this change the same error prints:
** (myelement-test:25345): ERROR **: Unable to create pipeline 'bin.( myelement )': no element "myelement"
The current implementation of gst_parse_launch_full() doesn't return
partially constructed pipeline when GST_PARSE_FLAG_FATAL_ERRORS is
specified, however, this patch also adds a check for it.

An untested pointer segfaulted in webkit while playing video
on imx6 sabrelite. It turned out that the imx plugin didn't
implement the meta transform function.

It is possible to use gst_deinit() without registering the base
classes. For example, when using gst_init_get_option_group() and
call the program with an invalid parameter. In that case,
gst_deinit() will lead to a segmentation fault, since there is a
dereference to a pointer that is null.
This patch validates if the type is non-null before dereferencing
it.

This unbalanced closing parenthesis is leftover from the commit
8b739d91e7. It used to wrap the caps but we don't seem to do that in
the current code.
So, just remove it. No functionality has been changed.

Use g_object_new() instead which nowadays has a shortcut for the
no-properties check. It still does an extra GType check in the
function guard, but there's a pending patch to remove that
and it's hardly going to be a performance issue in practice,
even less so on a system that's compiled without run-time checks.
Alternative would be to move to the new g_object_new_properties()
with a fallback define for older glib versions, but it makes the
code look more unwieldy and doesn't seem worth it.
Fixes deprecation warnings when building against newer GLib versions.
