2cf16838c5 gst-inspect: Colored output
Let's make the output a bit pretty to read. The colored output can be
disabled with `--no-colors` option or by setting `GST_INSPECT_NO_COLORS'
env (to any value).

The chosen colors are based on the popular Solarized theme, which is
targeted for both dark and light backgrounds.

Note:

* We only support true colors. If the terminal doesn't signal support for
  that via 'COLORTERM' env, we disable colored output.

* We don't add colors to --print-plugin-auto-install-info output, as
  that's meant for machines, not humans. Not only machines don't care
  about beauty, the existing ones will likely not expect colors and choke
  on it and we'll get angry mob at our doors.

221d65a5e0 gst-launch: Add a '--types' option to filter elements by types to print
This way the user can easily figure out what are the available audio
encoder for example doing:

  gst-inspect-1.0 --types Encoder/Audio

2a5a8dd3c7 tools: ship the final man pages directly, no more man pages templates
Don't use templates for the man pages, the API version change is a rare
event, so it's not really worth keeping in place the "sed" boilerplate
to have it set at build time.

Shipping the final man pages directly also makes it easer to install the
man pages with meson (in a future commit).

Note that now all the occurrences of the programs names have the API
version as a suffix.

Traditionally the example command lines looked like:

  gst-launch ...

Now they look like:

  gst-launch-1.0 ...

This reflects the actual programs names and makes it easier to copy and
paste the example commands.

Also, the .gitignore file is adjusted not to ignore the final man pages
anymore.

You may need to clean your src/build directory before pulling in this
patch.
