ges_uri_clip_asset_get_duration does not tell us what the duration in
the timeline needs to be. Especially when we have time effects, or
effects with finite max-durations. So we should no longer expect the
duration to stay the same when replacing assets. Instead, we just check
that the new max-duration would be compatible with the current in-point
(which was not checked before), and the clip would not be totally
overlapped if its duration-limit changes.
This is based on the assumption that each source is replaced one-to-one
in its track. If a source is replaced with nothing in the same track,
this check may be a little too strong (but still mostly weaker than
before). However, problems could occur if track selection does
something unexpected, such as placing the new source in a track not
previously occupied.

The out-point, which is an internal time, is used instead of the
duration for determining the control binding value at the end of the
element.
Also, allow the user to switch off the auto-clamping of control sources
if they are not desired. And allow them to clamp specific control sources
individually.
Also, fix a lot of memory leaks related to control sources. In
particular, releasing the extra ref gained by source in
g_object_get (binding, "control-source", &source, NULL);

Unlike ges_container_add, this lets you set the index and will check
that track selection did not fail. This is useful for time effects whose
addition would create an unsupported timeline configuration.
Also can use the clip add error in ges_timeline_add_clip to let the user
know when adding a clip to a layer that its in-point is set larger than
the max-duration of its core children.

Allow the user to register a child property of a base effect as a time
property. This can be used by GES to correctly calculate the
duration-limit of a clip when it has time effects on it. The existing
ges_effect_class_register_rate_property is now used to automatically
register such time effects for rate effects.

Each active non-core child must have a corresponding active core child
in the same track. Therefore, if we de-activate a core child, we also
need to de-activate all the non-core children in the same track.
Similarly, if we activate a non-core child, we need to activate the
corresponding core child as well.

Make less assumptions about the priority of effects and core elements so
that the code would still work if the priority of an element was set
directly. In particular, the index of a top effect will always be its
position in the effect ordering.

We first change the duration of the splitted clip, then we add the new
clip to the layer and assign the tracks for its children. Normally, when
a clip is added to a layer it will have its track elements created, if
needed, and then assigned to their tracks. This will fail if any sources
would fully or triple overlap existing sources in the same track.
However, here we were adding the clip to the layer *and* avoiding the
track assignment process and instead setting the tracks explicitly. In
particular, the order was:
+ add new clip to layer with no tracks assigned
+ shrink the split clip
+ assign the tracks for the new clip
This has been changed to:
+ shrink the split clip
+ add new clip to layer with no tracks assigned
+ assign the tracks for the new clip
Thus, the order of events for any users connecting to object signals
will be close to that of adding another clip to the layer.

Any time a track element is added to a track, we need to check whether
we need to create a new corresponding auto-transition. This simply moves
the code from ges-clip.c to ges-timeline.c, where it is more appropriate.
Moreover, it technically opens the possibility for creating
auto-transitions for track elements in the timeline that have no
corresponding clip.

It should be sufficient to set the edit flag only on the toplevel, which
allows all of its children to know they are being edited and should not
move in response.
Also, removed some unnecessary setting/checking of this.
Also, supplied the ges_timeline_element_peak_toplevel, which unlike
ges_timeline_element_get_toplevel_parent, does not add a reference to
the toplevel. Some corresponding leaks in auto-transition have been
fixed by using this instead.

Editing has been simplified by breaking down each edit into a
combination of three basic single-element edits: MOVE, TRIM_START, and
TRIM_END.
Each edit follows these steps:
+ Determine which elements are to be edited and under which basic mode
+ Determine which track elements will move as a result
+ Snap the edit position to one of the edges of the main edited element,
(or the edge of one of its descendants, in the case of MOVE), avoiding
moving elements.
NOTE: in particular, we can *not* snap to the edge of a neighbouring
element in a roll edit. This was previously possible, even though the
neighbour was moving!
+ Determine the edit positions for clips (or track elements with no
parent) using the snapped value. In addition, we replace any edits of
a group with an edit of its descendant clips. If any value would be
out of bounds (e.g. negative start) we do not edit.
NOTE: this is now done *after* checking the snapping. This allows the
edit to succeed if snapping would cause it to go from being invalid to
valid!
+ Determine whether the collection of edits would result in a valid
timeline-configuration which does not break the rules for sources
overlapping.
+ If all this succeeds, we emit snapping-started on the timeline.
+ We then perform all the edits. At this point they should all succeed.
The simplification/unification should make it easier to make other
changes.

The duration-limit is the maximum duration that can be set for the clip
given its current children and their properties. If a change in the
children properties causes this to drop below the current duration, it
is automatically capped by this limit.

Instead of focusing on the instances of the clips and their children,
we relax the check to allow moving track element clip between clips
that share a common asset. This makes it as correct conceptually but
more flexible, and the code becomes simpler.
The way a clip's track elements are added to tracks was re-handled. This
doesn't affect the normal usage of a simple audio-video timeline, where
the tracks are added before any clips, but usage for multi-track
timelines has improved. The main changes are:
+ We can now handle a track being selected for more than one track,
including a full copy of their children properties and bindings.
(Previously broken.)
+ When a clip is split, we copy the new elements directly into the same
track, avoiding select-tracks-for-object.
+ When a clip is grouped or ungrouped, we avoid moving the elements to
or from tracks.
+ Added API to allow users to copy the core elements of a clip directly
into a track, complementing select-tracks-for-object.
+ Enforced the rule that a clip can only contain one core child in a
track, and all the non-core children must be added to tracks that
already contains a core child. This extends the previous condition
that two sources from the same clip should not be added to the same
track.
+ Made ges_track_add_element check that the newly added track element
does not break the configuration rules of the timeline.
+ When adding a track to a timeline, we only use
select-tracks-for-object to check whether track elements should be
added to the new track, not existing ones.
+ When removing a track from a timeline, we empty it of all the track
elements that are controlled by a clip. Thus, we ensure that a clip
only contains elements that are in the tracks of the same timeline, or
no track. Similarly, when removing a clip from a timeline.
+ We can now avoid unsupported timeline configurations when a layer is
added to a timeline, and already contains clips.
+ We can now avoid unsupported timeline configurations when a track is
added to a timeline, and the timeline already contains clips.

Before the max-duration could be set arbitrarily when the clip was empty,
to indicate what the max-duration would be once the core children were
created. Now, we can also do this whilst the clip only contains non-core
children.
Rename the private "owners" to "creators" to avoid confusing this with
the owner of the track element's memory.
Also made the ungroup method for GESClip symmetric by making all the
children of the resulting clips share their creators, which allows them
to be added to any of the other ungrouped clips. Once the clips are
grouped back together, the tracks loose these extra creators.
APIs:
- ges_timeline_get_frame_time
- ges_timeline_get_frame_at
- ges_clip_asset_get_frame_time
- ges_clip_get_timeline_time_from_source_frame
Extracting ges_util_structure_get_clocktime to internal utilities adding
support for specifying timing values in frames with the special
f<frame-number> synthax.
The in-point of a clip is kept in sync with its core children, unless they
have no has-internal-source.
The max-duration is defined as the minimum max-duration amongst the
clip's core children. If it is set to a new value, this sets the
max-duration of its core children to the same value if they have
has-internal-source set as TRUE.
Non-core children (such as effects on a source clip) do not influence
these values.
As part of this, we no longer track in-point in GESContainer. Unlike start
and duration, the in-point of a timeline element does not refer to its
extent in the timeline. As such, it has little meaning for most
collections of timeline-elements, in particular GESGroups. As such, there
is no generic way to relate the in-point of a container to its children.
Previously the control bindings were not properly copied into the pasted
clip. Also changed the order so that elements are added to the clip
before the clip is added to the timeline.
Hold the notify signals for the container and the children until after
the child has been fully added or removed.
After the previous commit, this was used to ensure that the
notify::priority signal was sent for children of a clip *after* the
child-removed signal. This stopped being the case when the code in
->child_removed was moved to ->remove_child (the latter is called before
the child-removed signal is emitted, whilst the former is called
afterwards). Rather than undo this move of code, which was necessary to
ensure that ->add_child was always reversed, the notify::priority signal
is now simply delayed until after removing the child has completed. This
was done for all notify signals, as well as in the add method, to ensure
consistency.
This allows the test_clips.py test_signal_order_when_removing_effect to
pass.
Also make subclasses take a copy of the list of the children before
setting the start and duration, since this can potentially re-order the
children (if they have the SET_SIMPLE flag set).
Previously, we relied on ->child_removed to reverse the priority changes
that occured in ->add_child. However, ->child_removed is not always
called (the signal child-removed is not always emitted) when a
->add_child needs to be removed. However, ->remove_child is always
called to reverse ->add_child, so the code was moved here. Otherwise, we
risk that the priorities of the clip will contain gaps, which will cause
problems when another child is added to the clip.
Handle the child priorities in a way that keeps the container children
list sorted by priority at all times. Also, no longer rely on the
control_mode of the container, since we have less control over its value,
compared to private variables.
Also fixed the changing of priorities in set_top_effect_index:
previously *all* children whose priority was above or below the new
priority were shifted, when we should have been only shifting priorities
for the children whose priority lied *between* the old and the new
priority of the effect. E.g.
effect: A B C D E F
index: 0 1 2 3 4 5
After moving effect E to index 1, previously, we would get
effect: A B C D E F
index: 0 2 3 4 1 6
(this would have also shifted the priority for the core children as
well!). Whereas now, we have the correct:
effect: A B C D E F
index: 0 2 3 4 1 5
Only allow elements that were created by ges_clip_create_track_elements
(or copied from such an element) to be added to a clip. This prevents
users from adding arbitrary elements to a clip.
As an exception, a user can add GESBaseEffects to clips whose class
supports it, i.e. to a GESSourceClip and a GESBaseEffectClip.
This change also introduces a distinction between the core elements of a
clip (created by ges_clip_create_track_elements) and non-core elements
(currently, only GESBaseEffects, for some classes). In particular,
GESBaseEffectClip will now distinguish between its core elements and
effects added by the user. This means that the core elements will always
have the lowest priority, and will not be listed as top effects. This is
desirable because it brings the behaviour of GESBaseEffectClip in line
with other clip types.
We were implementing the logic for moving/trimming elements specific
to SourceClip but this was not correct ass the new timeline tree allows
us to handle that for all element types in a generic and nice way.
This make us need to have groups trimming properly implemented in the
timeline tree, leading to some fixes in the group tests.
This adds tests for the various cases known to not be handled properly
by the previous code.

Previously, either the track or track_type arguments had to be specified
in order to find **any** track elements. Now, you can specify neither,
which will match any track element, of the specified type.
