So we can serialise/deserialise taglists inside structures,
which used to work automagically before because GstTagList
was just a typedef to GstStructure (same for the GType),
but now that it's a separate GType we need to register
explicit functions for this.
Helps with GDP stuff in pipelines/streamheader tests.
This re-uses existing code and makes sure we properly serialise
and deserialise datetimes where not all fields are set (thus
fixing some warnings when serialising such datetimes).
Take into account that not all fields might be valid (though they
are valid in the GDateTime structure). But we should just return
unordered if the set fields don't match. Also, don't check
microseconds when comparing datetimes, since we don't serialise
those by default if they're available. This ensures date times are
still regarded as equal after serialising+deserialising.
Ass serialize and deserialize functions for GstSegment so that gdp and
gst_structure_to_string show the segment values. We convert to a GstSegment
first to make things easier..

Group the extra allocation parameters in a GstAllocationParams structure to make
it easier to deal with them and so that we can extend them later if needed.
Make gst_buffer_new_allocate() take the GstAllocationParams for added
functionality.
Add boxed type for GstAllocationParams.
There isn't really any need to provide public API for that. It's not
used anywhere in practice, and we aim to provide an API that works
for GstCaps, not some kind of generic set manipulation API based on
GValue. Making this private also makes it easier to optimise this
later. We can always put it back if someone actually needs it.
int and int64 ranges can now have an optional step (defaulting to 1).
Members of the range are those values within the min and max bounds
which are a multiple of this step.

Which we had to add because GLib didn't have it
back in the day. Port everything to plain old
G_TYPE_DATE, which is also a boxed type. Ideally
we'd just use GDateTime for everything, but it
doesn't support not setting some of the fields
unfortuntely (which would be very useful for
tag handling in general, if we could express
2012-01 for example).

This fixes caps operations when different elements advertise some
of their caps' properties differently (eg, for audio channels, either
a range from 1 to 2, or a list of 1 and 2).

When we do not care about the actual resulting set,
but only whether it is empty of not, we can skip a fair bit
of GValue juggling.
Add a function that does so, since we cannot just pass NULL
to the existing API as it may be part of the API contract.

Make a new method to allocate a buffer + memory that takes the allocator and the
alignment as parameters. Provide a macro for the old method but prefer to use
the new method to encourage plugins to negotiate the allocator properly.
Previously this was only done in the is_subset() check but
having it only there brings us into definition-hell where
"1" and "{1}" are subset of each other but not equal.
Fix freeing of partially-inited list value when both values
passed are equal and we want to return a single non-list
value as result. Fixes unit test. Also fix up docs a bit.
