6fa351407a miniobject: Add parent pointers to the miniobject to influence writability
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.

gst_sample_set_buffer
gst_sample_set_caps
gst_sample_set_segment
gst_sample_set_info
gst_sample_is_writable
gst_sample_make_writable

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.

e5c15f6b96 utils: Never return a group_id of 0, add GST_GROUP_ID_INVALID
Various plugins use special values (0 or G_MAXUINT32) as an
invalid/unset group_id, but nothing guarantees a groupid won't have
that value.

Instead define a value which group_id will never have and make
gst_group_id_next() always return a value different from that.

API: GST_GROUP_ID_INVALID

86abf49c23 gst: add a promise object
An object that can be waited on and asked for asynchronous values.
In much the same way as promise/futures in js/java/etc

A callback can be installed for when the promise changes state.

d106390adc element: add gst_element_foreach_*pad()
Add convenience API that iterates over all pads, sink pads or
source pads and makes sure that the foreach function is called
exactly once for each pad.

This is a KISS implementation. It doesn't use GstIterator and
doesn't try to do clever things like resync if pads are added
or removed while the function is executing. We can still do that
in future if we think it's needed, but in practice it will
likely make absolutely no difference whatsoever, since these
things will have to be handled properly elsewhere by the element
anyway if they're important.

After all, it's always possible that a pad is added or removed
just after the iterator finishes iterating, but before the
function returns.

This is also a replacement for gst_aggregator_iterate_sink_pads().

This is a meta that generically allows to attach additional reference
timestamps to a buffer, that don't have to relate to the pipeline clock
in any way.

a frame counter on the capture side or the (local) UNIX timestamp when
the media was captured.

33616d47be info: Add a 'flags' parametter to gst_debug_get_stack_trace
This is an API break but that API has not been released yet.

We are passing a flag rather than a simple boolean as we can imagine
to implement more features in the future for example to retrieve a
stack trace for all the threads, etc..

Retrieving source file and line numbers is pretty
expensive while getting a stack trace, this new argument
allows the user to decide to retrieve a backtrace
without those infos instead which is much faster.

For example running $ GST_LEAKS_TRACER_STACK_TRACE=1 GST_DEBUG=GST_TRACER:7 \
GST_TRACERS=leaks time gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc num-buffers=1 ! fakesink:

* With simple stack traces:

    0.04s user 0.02s system 99% cpu 0.060 total

* With full stack traces:

    0.66s user 0.23s system 96% cpu 0.926 total

goes wrong, and each time we create more or less similare error

field inside the GstMessage so that the application has all the information
if it needs it.

8177173db0 element: Add gst_element_call_async()
This calls a function from another thread, asynchronously. This is to be
used for cases when a state change has to be performed from a streaming
thread, directly via gst_element_set_state() or indirectly e.g. via SEEK
events.

Calling those functions directly from the streaming thread will cause
deadlocks in many situations, as they might involve waiting for the
streaming thread to shut down from this very streaming thread.

This is mostly a convenience function around a GThreadPool and is for example
used by GstBin to continue asynchronous state changes.

f876306638 utils: expose pad_link_maybe_ghosting
This is a useful function to automatically add ghost pads when linking
two elements across bin boundaries without know their exact parentage.

e.g. when using gst_parse_bin_from_description (with or without it ghosting pads),
one can simply retreive the src/sink pads from the bin to link to another pad.

Similar functionality is provided by gst_element_link_pads{_full}() however only
by pad name rather than by actual pads.
