c35d47127b gst: Add new structure/caps/_to_string using the brackets for nesting
This adds `gst_structure_serialize` and `gst_caps_serialize` which use
the newly introduced bracket delimiters for nested structures.

322caf880d structure: Add support for brackets as nested structures/caps specifiers
This introduces a more human friendly syntax to specify nested
structures It does so by using 2 different markers for opening and
closing them instead of abusing quotes which lead to requiring an insane
amount of escaping to match nesting levels.

The brackets (`[` and `]`) have been chosen as they avoid complex
constructions with curly brackets (or lower/higher than signs) where you
could have structures embedded inside arrays (which also use curly
brackets), ie. `s, array=(structure){{struct}}` should be parsed as an
array of structures, but the cast seems to imply something different. We
do not have this issue with brackets as they are currently used for
ranges, which can only be casted to numeric types.

This commit does not make use of that new syntax for serialization as
that would break backward compatibility, so it is basically a 'sugar'
syntax for humans. A notice has been explicitly made in the
documentation to let the user know about it.

96ac9abb23 gst_private.h: increse padding in struct _GstClockEntryImpl
When compiling for 32bit architectures with 64bit time_t e.g. riscv32,
the static assert that the GstClockEntryImpl smaller or
equal to the struct _GstClockEntryImpl triggered.
(they were 12bytes off).

To fix this, the padding is increased by 8 bytes (on 32bit).

a2cbf75523 Remove unused valgrind detection
Having this just to log a debug message in case we're

acdb4ce03d gstvalue: expose gst_value_deserialize_with_pspec()
Typing hints can only be passed to gst_value_deserialize()
through the type of the passed-in value. This means deserialization
can only target the desired type for the top-level elements,
making it for example impossible to deserialize an array of
flags to the expected type.

This commit exposes a new function, gst_value_deserialize_full(),
that takes an optional pspec as the extra parameter, and updates
the deserialization code to pass around that pspec, or the
element_spec when recursively parsing the elements of a list-type
value.

This allows for example passing arrays of flags through the
command line or gst_util_set_object_arg, eg:

foo="<bar,bar+baz>"

bbca6b1ddf meta: expose API to register and create custom meta
Custom meta is backed by a GstStructure, and does not require
that users of the API expose their GstMeta implementation as
public API for other components to make use of it.

In addition, it provides a simpler interface by ignoring the
impl vs. api distinction that the regular API exposes.

This new API is meant to be the meta counterpart to custom events
and messages, and to be more convenient than the lower-level API
when the absolute best performance isn't a requirement.

973986f40b gstregistry: Directly get list of plugin features
Previously this was:
* iterating and referencing all plugin features in a GList
* *then* filtering out the ones we want
* Was doing that filtering by name (i.e. `strcmp`) instead of direct pointer
comparision

Instead, just create a private direct function to get the list of plugin
features

Uses 4 times less instructions ...

6f9a63a10d gst/systemclock: wait on each entry individually
Problem:
multiple aggregator elements (audiomixer, compositor) in a live
pipeline use a lot of CPU waiting each other up.  This is because
of the previously unused clock entry unscheduling during regular
operation.

Clock entry unscheduling has the potential to wake up every clock entry
waiting using the system clock which may be a large number.

Solution:
Implement waiting per entry and only wakeup the unscheduled entry.

While this may be possible using GCond, theoretically GCond only gives
us microsecond accuracy and uses relative waits in a number of places.
We can unfortunately do better poking at the platform specifics
ourselves by using futexes on linux and pthread on other unix.  Windows
may have a possible implementation using Waitable timers but that is
not implemented here and instead falls back to the GCond implementation.
GCond waits on Windows is still as accurate as the previous GstPoll-based
implementation.

52706146f5 pluginfeature: Allow updating initial rank of plugin feature
Introducing "GST_PLUGIN_FEATURE_RANK" environment variable in order for users
to adjust rank of plugin(s) via environment.

A "feature" and "rank" key-value pair should be separable by ":",
and each key-value pair is recognized per "," delimiters. The rank
can be a numerical value or one of pre-defined rank values
such as "NONE", "MARGINAL", "SECONDARY", and "PRIMARY" in case-insensitive manner.

In addition to pre-defined { NONE, MARGINAL, SECONDARY, PRIMARY },
"MAX" can be passed to key value used to ensure having a higher rank
than other plugin features.

Example)
- GST_PLUGIN_FEATURE_RANK=qtdemux:256,h264parse:NONE
Set rank of qtdemux plugin to 256 (primary) and 0 (none) for h264parse.

f62ee97592 buffer: store sequence number for metas
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.

6cddce7663 plugin: API: GST_PLUGIN_DEPENDENCY_FLAG_PATHS_ARE_RELATIVE_TO_EXE
When a plugin declares a dependency using this flag, all the
relative paths are considered to be relative to the path of
the main executable.

We try to determine the path of the executable portably,
with implementations provided for Linux, Windows and Mac.

In order for the main executable path to be the same when
scanning a plugin in a child process, a new variable is
exposed in gst_private.h, _gst_executable_path

e7ede5a487 plugin: Unify static and dynamic plugin interface
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.

a3cfcbfede value: Always add the type name to elements when serializing arrays/lists
But only when serializing outside of GstStructures, because in case of
GstStructure the type is already preprended to the array/list and the
GstStructure API makes sure that they have the same "generic" type so
deserialization works properly.

This keeps serialization of GstStructures the same as before, and the
GstCaps unit tests already test for that. However when serializing
standalone arrays/lists get the types added now.

e1dc60524e dynamic types: Implement dynamic types in the registry
Implement GstDynamicTypeFactory as a new registry feature.

GstDynamicTypeFactory provides a way of registering a GType
into the registry, such that it will be registered as a dynamic
type when the registry is loaded, and then automatically loaded
if the type is needed during caps parsing.

This allows using non-core types in pad templates, by loading a
registry feature to create the GType on the fly.

abdafb0d64 protection: add GstProtectionMeta to support protected content
In order to support some types of protected streams (such as those
protected using DASH Common Encryption) some per-buffer information
needs to be passed between elements.

This commit adds a GstMeta type called GstProtectionMeta that allows
protection specific information to be added to a GstBuffer. An example
of its usage is qtdemux providing information to each output sample
that enables a downstream element to decrypt it.

This commit adds a utility function to select a supported protection
system from the installed Decryption elements found in the registry.
The gst_protection_select_system function that takes an array of
identifiers and searches the registry for a element of klass Decryptor that
supports one or more of the supplied identifiers. If multiple elements
are found, the one with the highest rank is selected.

This commit adds a unit test for the gst_protection_select_system
function that adds a fake Decryptor element to the registry and then
checks that it can correctly be selected by the utility function.

This commit adds a unit test for GstProtectionMeta that creates
GstProtectionMeta and adds & removes it from a buffer and performs some
simple reference count checks.

da7847d1ad message, bus: fix async message delivery
Async message delivery (where the posting thread gets blocked
until the message has been processed and/or freed) was pretty
much completely broken.

For one, don't use GMutex implementation details to check
whether a mutex has been initialized or not, esp. not
implementation details that don't hold true any more with
newer GLib versions where atomic ops and futexes are used
(spotted by Josep Torras). This led to async message
delivery no longer blocking with newer GLib versions on
Linux.

Secondly, after async delivery don't free mutex/GCond
embedded inside the just-freed message structure.

Use a new (private) mini object flag to signal GstMessage
that the message being freed is part of an async delivery
on the bus so that the dispose handler can keep the message
alive and the bus can free it once it's done cleaning up
stuff.
