The caps put into the stream topology by decodebin are the caps at the
moment the pads are exposed on it. This is usually before decoders
received any buffers.
In discoverer we however wait for pre-roll, which ensures that each
decoder handled buffers already. At this point, there might be more
information known about the caps already that we could make use of.
One example here is extra information stored in the SEI of H264, like
the multiview-mode. This will be known if there is a SEI before the
first keyframe, but decodebin won't put this into the topology as it
only waits for the initial caps of h264parse (which come directly after
SPS/PPS).
With this change, the multiview-mode is in the caps reported by
discoverer in many cases.
The caps might not be fixated (which is required by GstVideoInfo) and we
would assert otherwise. However the caps often contain useful
information in the already-fixed parts that we can use here.

Highlights of the features provided are:
* Faster builds on Linux (~40-50% faster)
* The ability to build with MSVC on Windows
* Generate Visual Studio project files
* Generate XCode project files
* Much faster builds on Windows (on-par with Linux)
* Seriously fast configure and building on embedded
... and many more. For more details see:

Building with Meson should work on both Linux and Windows, but may
need a few more tweaks on other operating systems.
parsed, framed, stream-format and alignment are only relevant for parsers and
should not matter here. We still want to be able to use an encoder that can
only output byte-stream if the input was avc.

Caps are cleaned up for missing plugins, and for creating encoding profiles
and caps descriptions.
Fields like streamheader, parsed, framed, stream-format and alignment are not
relevant here. The last ones all because a parser will take care of them.

If we e.g. have AVI with DV container with video/audio inside the DV
container, we can't handle this at this point with an encoding profile.
Instead of erroring out, flatten the container hierarchy.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=765708
When converting discoverer output to an encoding profile, it makes sense to
omit these. It's very very unlikely that our encoder is going to produce bit
by bit the same codec_data or streamheader.

The function gst_discoverer_info_copy doesn't copy the data members seekable
and result of the source GstDiscovererInfo.
In the case of copying a GstDiscovererInfo for later use, the seekbale will be
undefined, which in practice usually will be false, even though the seekable of
the original GstDiscovererInfo is true.

Base class type name should not reference libvisual since not all child
elements use this. This was an oversight when merging audiovisualizers into
a common base class.
When we run the loop for another time and do not have a preset name, we would
try to print the preset name of a previous iteration that is already freed.
Also move some other variables into the block where they are actually used
to prevent similar mistakes in the future.

Some Opus files found on the wild have 0 in the version field of the
OpusHead header, instead of the correct value of 1. The files still
play, don't make this error fatal.

So that the user can easily use the same encoding profile to render
with/without audio/video stream.

gst_message_parse_toc() returns a reffed GstToc which is owned by the
GstDiscovererInfo. But we have to make sure we unref its previous value before
setting the new one.

This reverts commit 19b9356680.
These two "profiles" are actually a complete set of profiles, which we will
need to handle separately. Unfortunately it seems like we need information
from the SPS to detect the exact profile.
The new gst_install_plugins_context_set_confirm_search() API can be used
to pass a hint to modify the behaviour of the external installer
process.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744465
The new gst_install_plugins_context_set_desktop_id() and
gst_install_plugins_context_set_startup_notification_id() API can be
used to pass extra details to the external installer process.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744465
These values are for now taken from x265 and need to be checked against
the spec. Especially we need to check if information from other fields
need to be taken into consideration too, e.g. the bit depth and chroma
index from the SPS.
This however makes 4:4:4 output of x265enc actually work.
The gst_discoverer_info_get_missing_elements_installer_details()
documentation and annotation says that the return value should be freed
with g_strfreev(), but actually it's owned by the GstDiscovereInfo
object and should definitely not get freed by the caller as well.

In some cases, the user might want the stream outputted by encodebin to
be in the exact same format during all the stream. We should let the
user specify when this is the case. This commit add some API in the
GstEncodingProfile to determine whether the format can be renegotiated
after the encoding started or not.
API:
gst_encoding_profile_set_allow_dynamic_output
gst_encoding_profile_get_allow_dynamic_output

This avoids a race where we would get new tag but we are already
prerolled and analyzing results.
It is the way it is supposed to be handled as stated in comment:
"If preroll is complete, drop these tags - the collected information is
possibly already being processed and adding more tags would be racy"
Otherwize the pipeline would be in an wrong state and on the next
iteration any kind of error could happen
Everytime an error happens in a pipeline the application has to set the
pipeline back to NULL instead of READY.

Currently the API is far from optimal and the user has to work around
our badly defined API to simply install missing plugins.
API:
new:
gst_discoverer_info_get_missing_elements_installer_details
deprecated:
gst_discoverer_info_get_misc
gst_discoverer_stream_info_get_misc

We're checking the caps to see if we got more caps details after a parser got
plugged. This will also have a flipped 'parsed' field. If the field was already
present before the parse the match will fail. Add a function that will do the
check while excluding this field.
Mark terms such as "planar", "packed", and "palettized" as
translatable, and re-arrange strings a bit to make them
better suited for translation.
Also fix bug in yuv descriptions, one plane is packed, more
is planar (or semi-planar).

Caps description and missing plugin code does not really need caps to
be fixed, and indeed they may not be if giving encodebin unfixed caps
that correspond to an unknown encoder or muxer.
So we relax the check, and allow unfixed caps if all the structures
refer to the same media type.
We already have internally the information on what type of stream (audio,
video, container, subtitle, ...) a certain caps is.
Instead of forcing callers to specify which CODEC_TAG category a certain
caps is, use that information to make a smart choice.
Does not break previous behaviour of gst_pb_utils_add_codec_description_to_tag_list
(if tag is specified it will be used, if caps is invalid it will be rejected,
...).

The _1_0 suffixed environment variables override the
non-suffixed ones, so if we're in an environment that
sets the _1_0 suffixed ones, such as jhbuild, we need
to set those to make sure ours actually always get
used.
The behaviour is sensibly changed here. Instead of purely falling when a
preset is set on the #GstEncodingProfile, we now make sure that the
element that is plugged corresponds to the one specified as preset. Then,
if we have a preset_name, we use it, if it fails, we fail (we might rather
just keep working even without setting the element properties?)
+ Add tests that it behave correctly
It was possible to decide only what #GstElement implementing #GstPreset
to use during the encoding, we can now let the user select a specific preset previously
saved using #gst_preset_save_preset specifying the name chosen when it was saved
in the gst_encoding_profile_set_preset_name.
Actually loading a preset with %NULL as a name would have always failed, so
in the current state of the API that feature is unusable
API:
gst_encoding_profile_set_preset_name
gst_encoding_profile_get_preset_name
