This is exposed as a solution to the use case of plugging in
sources with a higher latency after the aggregator has started
playing with an initial set of sources, allowing to avoid resyncing.

The documentation incorrectly used to state that the pads were
not automatically activated when added, whereas we actually do
that when appropriate.
Callers of gst_element_add_pad must not hold the object lock,
which implies that they cannot perform the same checks as
add_pad in a non-racy manner.
This updates the documentation, and removes the g_warning
that was output before performing automatic activation.

Otherwise we try to build a shared lib when we build the rest
of GStreamer statically, which won't work because we pass
-DGST_STATIC_COMPILATION when building statically, which means
we won't dllimport public symbols from our libs which means
that on Windows the unit tests will fail to link to libgstcheck.

Add new GST_API_EXPORT in config.h and use that for GST_*_API
decorators instead of GST_EXPORT.
The right export define depends on the toolchain and whether
we're using -fvisibility=hidden or not, so it's better to set it
to the right thing directly than hard-coding a compiler whitelist
in the public header.
We put the export define into config.h instead of passing it via the
command line to the compiler because it might contain spaces and brackets
and in the autotools scenario we'd have to pass that through multiple
layers of plumbing and Makefile/shell escaping and we're just not going
to be *that* lucky.
The export define is only used if we're compiling our lib, not by external
users of the lib headers, so it's not a problem to put it into config.h
Also, this means all .c files of libs need to include config.h
to get the export marker defined, so fix up a few that didn't
include config.h.
This commit depends on a common submodule commit that makes gst-glib-gen.mak
add an #include "config.h" to generated enum/marshal .c files for the
autotools build.

For each lib we build export its own API in headers when we're
building it, otherwise import the API from the headers.
This fixes linker warnings on Windows when building with MSVC.
The problem was that we had defined all GST_*_API decorators
unconditionally to GST_EXPORT. This was intentional and only
supposed to be temporary, but caused linker warnings because
we tell the linker that we want to export all symbols even
those from externall DLLs, and when the linker notices that
they were in external DLLS and not present locally it warns.
What we need to do when building each library is: export
the library's own symbols and import all other symbols. To
this end we define e.g. BUILDING_GST_FOO and then we define
the GST_FOO_API decorator either to export or to import
symbols depending on whether BUILDING_GST_FOO is set or not.
That way external users of each library API automatically
get the import.

This is for use by the various GST_*_API decorators and
will be what they get defined to when a library API is being
used by external users of that library (not the library itself
whilst it's being compiled).
In most cases it will simply map to a plain 'extern' but on
Windows with MSVC it will need to map to __declspec(dllimport).
For functions this is not strictly needed, but for exported
variables it is.

Change to always include gst/libs/base.h in order to also
include base-prelude.h, but also because it's the right
thing for people to include anyway.

Using a rate of 1.1 in the test is causing the test to
fail on 32-bit because ceil(1.1 * 10) can round to 12.
Instead use a rate 2.0 that can be expressed as floating
point number and doesn't trigger the problem.

gst_element_post_message() takes ownership of the message so we need to increase
its refcount until we no longer require access to its data (context_type).

Fixes a configure error with gst-build:
subprojects/gst-plugins-base/meson.build:235:2: ERROR: Fetched variable 'gst_check_dep' in the subproject 'gstreamer' is not a dependency object.
The avg_bitrate is an unsigned int, so the gst_util_uin64_scale() function can't
be used for it, as it expects signed integers for the fraction parts arguments.

And only ever use the non-live values if all pads are non-live,
otherwise only use the results of all live pads.
It's unclear what one would use the values for in the non-live case, but
by this we at least pass them through correctly then.
This is a follow-up for 794944f779, which
causes wrong latency calculations if the first pad is non-live but a
later pad is actually live. In that case the live values would be
accumulated together with the values of the non-live first pad,
generally causing wrong min/max latencies to be calculated.
Otherwise we write out the SYNC_AFTER buffer immediately, and the
previously queued up buffers afterwards which then breaks the order of
data.
Also add various debug output.
Fixes for gst_segment_position_from_running_time_full() when
converting running_times that precede the segment start (or
stop in a negative rate segment)
The return value was incorrectly negated in those cases.
Add some more unit test checks for those cases, and especially
for segments with offsets.
Make our own deprecation marker for libgstcheck,
since the function declaration must contain the
right API export decorator (GST_CHECK_API) and
not the one for GStreamer core.
Don't return a value from a function that doesn't
return a value using the returned value from a
function that also doesn't return a value.

Otherwise it's not guaranteed that buffers are actually on disk after
pushing them, and reading the file via g_file_get_contents() might not
include them yet.
fflush() has no effect because we use writev() directly, so fsync()
should be used instead which is actually flushing the kernel-side
buffers.
As a next step, a non-line-buffered buffering mode is to be added.

Instead, use -fvisibility=hidden and explicit exports via GST_EXPORT.
This should result in consistent behaviour for the autotools and
Meson builds where this is done already, and will allow us to drop
the win32 .def files.
