When performing a key unit trickmode seek, it may be useful to
specify a minimum interval between the output frames, either
in very high rate cases, or as a protection against streams
that may contain an overly large amount of key frames.
One use case is ONVIF Section 6.5.3:
<https://www.onvif.org/specs/stream/ONVIF-Streaming-Spec.pdf>
For metas where order might be significant if multiple metas are
attached to the same buffer, so store a sequence number with the
meta when adding it to the buffer. This allows users of the meta
to make sure metas are processed in the right order.
We need a 64-bit integer for the sequence number here in the API,
a 32-bit one might overflow too easily with high packet/buffer
rates. We could do it rtp-seqnum style of course, but that's a
bit of a pain.
We could also make it so that gst_buffer_add_meta() just keeps metas in
order or rely on the order we add the metas in, but that seems too
fragile overall, when buffers (incl. metas) get merged or split.
Also add a compare function for easier sorting.
We store the seqnum in the MetaItem struct here and not in the
GstMeta struct since there's no padding in the GstMeta struct.
We could add a private struct to GstMeta before the start of
GstMeta, but that's what MetaItem effectively is implementation-
wise. We can still change this later if we want, since it's all
private.
Fixes#262
Thi introduces new APIs to post a `DEVICE_CHANGED` message on the
bus so the application is notifies when a device is modified. For
example, if the "defaultness" of a device was changed or any property
that can be changed at any time. Atomically changing the device
object notifying that way allow us to abtract away the internal threads.
New APIS:
- gst_message_new_device_changed
- gst_message_parse_device_changed
- gst_device_provider_device_changed
Allows determining from downstream what the expected bitrate of a stream
may be which is useful in queue2 for setting time based limits when
upstream does not provide timing information.

The Harware factory type classifier allows elements (decoders and encoders,
mostly) to advertize they rely on hardware devices to perform encoding or
decoding operations. This classifier can be used by applications to filter and
select only the elements that use hardware devices, for instance to ensure
zero-copy support is enabled for a specific pipeline.

In some cases the system protection ID is not present in the contents
or in their metadata.
This define is used to set the value of the "system_id" field in GstProtectionEvent,
with this value, the application will use an external information to choose which
protection system to use.
Example: The matroskademux uses this value in the case of encrypted WebM,
the application will choose the appropriate protection system based on the information
received through EME API.

gst_queue_array_clear will clear the GstQueueArray,
gst_queue_array_set_clear_func will set a clear function for each
element to be called on _clear and on _free.

Change to always include gst/libs/base.h in order to also
include base-prelude.h, but also because it's the right
thing for people to include anyway.

And make use of that in the typefind element to also be able to make use
of the extension in push mode. It previously only did that in pull mode
and this potentially speeds up typefinding and might also prevent false
positives.

Every container of miniobjects now needs to store itself as parent in
the child object, and remove itself again at a later time.
A miniobject is only writable if there is at most one parent, and that
parent is writable itself, and if the reference count of the miniobject
is 1.
GstBuffer (for memories), GstBufferList (for buffers) and GstSample (for
caps, buffer, bufferlist) was updated accordingly.
Without this it was possible to have e.g. a bufferlist with refcount 2
in two places, modifying the same buffer with refcount 1 at the same
time.

GstBitWriter provides a bit writer that can write any number of
bits into a memory buffer. It provides functions for writing any
number of bits into 8, 16, 32 and 64 bit variables.

This commit makes it possible to reuse a sample object and avoid
unnecessary memory allocations, for example in appsink.
In addition, writability is now required to set the buffer list.

We need different export decorators for the different libs.
For now no actual change though, just rename before the release,
and add prelude headers to define the new decorator to GST_EXPORT.
