Instead do everything it did as part of GObject::constructed() and
change the function to always return TRUE.
gst_ghost_pad_construct() was meant to be called by subclasses right
after construction of the object to finish construction as it can fail
in theory. In practice it's impossible for it to fail, even more so if
called directly from GObject::constructed(): The only failure condition
is if the newly created proxy pad already has a parent, which is
impossible at this point as nothing else can have a reference to it.

Since glib 2.64, gthreadpool will start waiting on a GCond immediately upon
creation. This can cause issues if we fork *before* actually using the
threadpool since we will then be signalling that GCond ... from another process
and that will never work.
Instead, delay creationg of thread pools until the very first time we need
them. This introduces a minor (un-noticeable) delay when needing a new thread
but fixes the issues for all users of GSTreamer that will call gst_init, then
fork and actually start pipelines.
See https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/issues/2131 for more context.

When compiling for 32bit ios arm, 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 12 bytes (on 32bit).

These can be passed to gst_type_mark_as_plugin_api, to inform
plugin cache generation.
For now a single flag is specified, "IGNORE_ENUM_MEMBERS", it
can be used for dynamically generated enums to avoid documenting
environment-specific enumeration members. An example is
GstX265EncTune.
This can be used to mark additional types exposed by plugins (i.e.
enums, flags and GObjects) via properties, signals or pad templates as
plugin API. They can then be picked up by the documentation for the
plugin.
Not all types exposed by plugins are documented automatically because
they might come from an external library and should be documented from
there instead.
Nowadays we are only waking up the head entry waiting if either the head
entry is unscheduled (which is handled some lines above already), or
when the head entry specifically is woken up because a new entry became
the new head entry.
We're not waking up *all* entries anymore whenever any entry in the last
was unscheduled.

We already have a mutex in each clock entry anyway and need to make use
of that mutex in most cases when the status changes. Removal of the
atomic operations and usage of the mutex instead simplifies the code
considerably.
The only downside is that unscheduling a clock entry might block for the
time it needs for the waiting thread to go from checking the status of
the entry to actually waiting, which is not a lot of code.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/-/merge_requests/500>
Otherwise it can happen that unscheduling a clock id never takes place
and instead it is waiting until the normal timeout. This can happen if
the wait thread checks the status and sets it to busy, then the
unschedule thread sets it to unscheduled and signals the condition
variable, and then the waiting thread starts waiting. As condition
variables don't have a state (unlike Windows event objects), we have to
remember ourselves in a new boolean flag protected by the entry mutex
whether it is currently signalled, and reset this after waiting.
Previously this was not a problem because a file descriptor was written
to for waking up, and the token was left on the file descriptor until
the read from it for waiting.

This was effectively disabled in 1.0 with the intent of maybe re-enabling it.
The problem is that caching duration at a bin level doesn't make much sense
since there might be queueing/buffering taking place internally and therefore
the duration reported might have no correlation to what is actually being
outputted.

We must not retry fclose() on EINTR as POSIX states:
After the call to fclose(), any use of stream results in undefined
behavior.
We ensure above with fflush() and fsync() that everything is written out
so chances of running into EINTR are very low. Nonetheless assume that
the file can't be safely renamed, we'll just try again on the next
opportunity.

...instead of a file descriptor so buffered I/O is used when writing
the binary cache. This boosts performance at startup, particularly on
network filesystems where writes may be quite slow.

For value types that aren't subclassable, just check the type directly.
For flags, compare against the fundamental type directly instead of going through
the more expensive recursive check of `G_TYPE_CHECK_VALUE_TYPE()`

The problem is that:
* g_value_init will end up allocating an internal list/array
* g_value_copy *clears* the existing value by calling the free func
and then the copy function (creating it again)
To avoid that alloc/free/alloc cycle, directly call the appropriate
function

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 ...

The intersection function table is a legacy of 2005, when one could
register random intersection functions. This is no longer the case.
The only place where that table was used was:
* `gst_value_can_intersect()`, where it was already only used for identical
GType
* `gst_value_intersect()`, where the table iteration was insanely expensive
Instead this patch:
* Only stored intersection functions for *different* types (of which there are
only 4)
* Make gst_value_intersect directly call the same-type intersection functions
and only use the table if ever it doesn't match.

This was going through a few locks and doing temporarily allocations for every
single task creation.. just to get a name.
We don't need to take locks since:
* The parent exists (we have a reference to it)
* The pad exists (the task belongs to it)
* Changing names of pad/elements when activating is a big no-no
Instead use the existing direct GST_DEBUG_PAD_NAME macro
