There were a few errors:
* The plugin scanner now accepts executable path as an argument.
In case it is NULL, argc == 2
* We find the executable path in init_pre instead of gst_init,
allowing this to work when gst is initialized through the
option group (eg gst-inspect)
* There was a semi-colon missing in the __APPLE__ #ifdef
When a plugin declares a dependency using this flag, all the
relative paths are considered to be relative to the path of
the main executable.
We try to determine the path of the executable portably,
with implementations provided for Linux, Windows and Mac.
If retrieval of the path fails, we will not detect changes.
In order for the main executable path to be the same when
scanning a plugin in a child process, a new variable is
exposed in gst_private.h, _gst_executable_path

We would constantly re-post the taglist because
posted_avg_rate only gets set to avg_bitrate if
parse->priv->post_avg_bitrate is true, so if it's
false the posted rate will always differ from the
current average rate and we'd queue an update,
which leads to us spamming downstream and the
application with taglist updates.
Fix this by only queuing an update if the average
rate will actually be posted.
These taglists updates could cause expensive
operations on the application side, e.g. in Totem.

Need to define CK_DLL_EXP to extern as well in libcompat.h
which gets included before the internal-check.h where the
other fallback definition for CK_DLL_EXP is.
duplicate symbol _check_minor_version in:
libcheckinternal.a(libcheckinternal_la-check.o)
libcheckinternal.a(libcheckinternal_la-check_log.o)
Have to modify libcheck header a bit to avoid warnings
about duplicate 'extern extern'.
Also needs some additions to the libcheck meson.build file
to define CK_EXP_DLL when building the static libcheck.
buffer is not unreferened if preroll failed
:Detailed Notes:
- Problem : video freeze when switching from pause to 1/2-FF repeatedly
- RootCause : buffer leaks in basesink
- Solution : unref the buffer if prerolled failed
:Testing Preformed:
How to Test :
pause -> 1/2 FF -> resume -> pause -> 1/2 FF ...

Holding this lock on live source prevents the source from changing
the caps in ::create() without risking a deadlock. This has consequences
as the LIVE_LOCK was replacing the STREAM_LOCK in many situation. As a
side effect:
- We no longer need to unlock when doing play/pause as the LIVE_LOCK
isn't held. We then let the create() call finish, but will block if
the state have changed meanwhile. This has the benefit that
wait_preroll() calls in subclass is no longer needed.
- We no longer need to change the state to unlock, simplifying the
set_flushing() interface
- We need different handling for EOS depending if we are in push or pull
mode.
This patch also document the locking of each private class member and
the locking order.

This is something bindings can't handle and it causes leaks. Instead
move the ref_sink() to the explicit, new() constructors.
This means that abstract classes, and anything that can have subclasses,
will have to do ref_sink() in their new() function now. Specifically
this affects GstClock and GstControlSource.

gst_harness_new_parse() returns without any error even if it doesn't
find the specified element. Then a succeeding call to
gst_harness_set_sink_caps_str() causes an error like this:
Unexpected critical/warning: gst_pad_push_event: assertion 'GST_IS_PAD (pad)' failed
This is a bit cryptic and doesn't give users any clue what was going
on.
gst_harness_new_parse() calls gst_harness_add_parse() with a newly
created empty harness and the given pipeline description string, but
gst_harness_add_parse() does not have a way to propagate the error
back to the caller. Since the function, gst_harness_add_parse(), is a
public API, it's not a good idea to change its signature. This patch,
instead, makes the function to g_error() when it discovers any error.
With this change the same error prints:
** (myelement-test:25345): ERROR **: Unable to create pipeline 'bin.( myelement )': no element "myelement"
The current implementation of gst_parse_launch_full() doesn't return
partially constructed pipeline when GST_PARSE_FLAG_FATAL_ERRORS is
specified, however, this patch also adds a check for it.

An untested pointer segfaulted in webkit while playing video
on imx6 sabrelite. It turned out that the imx plugin didn't
implement the meta transform function.

This unbalanced closing parenthesis is leftover from the commit
8b739d91e7. It used to wrap the caps but we don't seem to do that in
the current code.
So, just remove it. No functionality has been changed.

Use g_object_new() instead which nowadays has a shortcut for the
no-properties check. It still does an extra GType check in the
function guard, but there's a pending patch to remove that
and it's hardly going to be a performance issue in practice,
even less so on a system that's compiled without run-time checks.
Alternative would be to move to the new g_object_new_properties()
with a fallback define for older glib versions, but it makes the
code look more unwieldy and doesn't seem worth it.
Fixes deprecation warnings when building against newer GLib versions.
