* Don't repeat what annotations are stating with respect to ownership
transfer, nullability
* Reword the warnings for caps nestability in light of the 1.20
improvements
* Misc cleanup / typo fixes / addition of links
Part-of: <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/-/merge_requests/754>
Since we started depending on GLib 2.44, we can be sure this macro is
defined (it will be a no-op on compilers that don't support it). For
plugins we should just start using `G_DECLARE_FINAL_TYPE` which means
we no longer need the macro there, but for most types in core we don't
want to break ABI, which means it's better to just keep it like it is
(and use the `#ifdef` instead).
* Making sure that `static inline` function are in the GIR (by first
defining them, and make sure to mark as skiped)
* Do not try to link to unexisting symbols
* Also generate GIR information about gst_tracers
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.
* GstGlobalDeviceMonitor was renamed to GstDeviceMonitor
* Expand GST_MESSAGE_DEVICE to the full enum value names
* Correct the incorrect references to the GstDeviceProvider interfaces
* Describe caps arguments for gstcheck interface
* Add missing docs for GstNetAddressMeta and its add function
* Add docs for toc helper macros
* Avoid refering to GstValueList type as done elsewhere

These are meant to specify features in caps that are required
for a specific structure, for example a specific memory type
or meta.
Semantically they could be though of as an extension of the media
type name of the structures and are handled exactly like that.
Move the locking methods from GstMemory to GstMiniObject.
Add a miniobject flag to enable LOCKABLE objects. LOCKABLE objects can
use the lock/unlock API to control the access to the object.
Add a minobject flag that allows you to lock an object in readonly mode.
Modify the _is_writable() method to check the shared counter for LOCKABLE
objects. This allows us to control writability separately from the refcount for
LOCKABLE objects.
Rename _do_simplify() to _simplify(). The name was introduced as a replacement
method for a deprecated method but we can now rename it again.
Fix some docs.
Make gst_caps_do_simplify() take ownership of the input caps and produce a
simplified output caps. This removes the requirement of having writable input
caps and the method can make the caps writable only when needed.
Rework some caps operations so they don't rely on writable caps but instead take
ownership of the input caps and do _make_writable() only when needed.
Remove some const from caps functions, it does not make much sense for
refcounted objects and does not allow us to return a refcount to the const input
caps.
Rework the base classes fixate vmethods to not operate on the caps in-place.
All this saves us around 30% of caps and structure copy and new operations.
Add a singleton for ANY and EMPTY caps and make the GST_CAPS_ANY and
GST_CAPS_NONE point to them. This makes the API more consistent now
that the macro does not magically create a ref. It also solves some leaks in
places where the macro was used to register a padtemplate.
Remove gst_mini_object_register() and add a GST_DEFINE_MINI_OBJECT macro to
define a _get_type() function for the boxed miniobject.
Remove a bunch of custom _get_type() functions and replace them with the
miniobject macro.
Rename some _init method to _priv_*_initialize() like the rest of them.
Inspired by patch from Johan Dahlin and see bug #657603
Make the Array of structures private. This should allow us to implement
the array more efficiently or with some preallocated structures when
we want to later.
Add a new method to clean up a static structure so that we can remove some code
that pokes into the private bits of the caps.
