GstTensor contained two fields (data, dims) that were dynamicallay allocated. For
data it's for a GstBuffer and we have pool for efficient memory management. For
dims it's a small array to store the dimension of the tensor. The dims field
can be allocated inplace by moving it at the end of the structure. This will
allow a better memory management when GstTensor is stored in an analytics meta
which will take advantage of the _clear interface for re-use.
- New api to allocate and free GstTensor
To continue to support use-cases where GstTensor is not stored in an
analytics-meta we provide gst_tensor_alloc, gst_tensor_alloc_n and
gst_tensor_free that will facilitate memory management.
- Make GstTensor a boxed type

- GstAnalyticRelationMeta is a base class for analytics
meta. It's able to store analytics results (GstAnalyticRelatableMtd)
and describe the relation between each analysis results.
- GstAnalysisRelationMeta also contain an algorithm able to explore
analysis results relation using a bfs.
- Relation(edge) between analysis results (vertice) are stored in an adjacency-matrix
that allow to quickly identify if two analysis results are related and by
which relation they related. It also work for indirect relation
and can provide the path of analysis results by which two
analysis results are related.
- One allocation per buffer to store analysis results. Here we rely on
the application to guess how much space will be required to store all
analysis results. This is something that could be improved
significantly but it's a starting point.
- Define common analysis results, classification, object-detection,
tracking that are subclass of GstAnalyticRelatableMtd. The also
provide exemple of how to extend GstAnalyticRelatableMtd to have them
benefit for the mechanim to express relation with other analysis
results.
