This feature is primarily intended for use in plugin modules' unit tests.
Consider the following situation: gst-plugins-good is built against an
installed GStreamer core. An older version of gst-plugins-good is also
installed in that prefix, along with random other plugin modules. Now,
when doing 'make check' in the just-built gst-plugins-good tree, we
want to only load plugins from GStreamer core, gst-plugins-base, and
gst-plugins-good, but not random other modules (we don't want any unit
tests to fail just because some module in gst-plugins-bad has a broken
plugin_init, for example). Also, we want to only load gst-plugins-good
modules from the locally-built source tree, but not any of the older
gst-plugins-good modules installed. This is usually assured by loading
the ones in the source tree first (by adding that path first to the
right environment variables), but it gets tricky when plugins are
moved, removed, merged, or renamed, or the plugin filename changes.
Note that 'make check' should really work right without doing
'make install' or uninstalling the old gst-plugins-good package (or
any other gst-plugins-foo package) first.
Enter GST_PLUGIN_LOADING_WHITELIST. This environment variable may
contain source-package@path-prefix pairs separated by the platform
search path separator (G_SEARCHPATH_SEPARATOR_S). The source package
and path prefix are separated by the '@' character. The path prefix is
entirely optional, as is the '@' separator if no path is given.
It is also possible to filter based on plugin names instead of the name
of the source-package by specifying one or more plugin names separated
by commas before the optional path prefix.
In short, the following match patterns are possible:
plugin1,plugin2@pathprefix or
plugin1,plugin2@* or just
plugin1,plugin2 or
source-package@pathprefix or
source-package@* or just
source-package
So for our gst-plugins-good unit test example above, we would set the
environment variable on *nix to something like this (will likely be a
relative path in practice):
gstreamer:gst-plugins-base:gst-plugins-good@/path/to/src/gst-plugins-good
Fixes#619815 and #619717.
Adds a new tag to inform about the image orientation and how
to rotate and flip it before display.
Note that this tag is a string with a predefined set of
possible values.

Fixes#619508
Don't override the default get_times vmethod so that we can use the sync
property.
Set the default sync property to FALSE. It used to be set to TRUE but because
the get_times was NULL, it always behaved like FALSE.
Fixes#621530
Forgot those when adding the original API, just like the API markers
in the commit message:

Fixes compilation with --disable-gst-debug

Retain the last scanned buffer entry and offset, so we can resume buffer
scanning there in case of a typical progressive scan.
Also potentially optimize _copy subsequently occurring in that area.
This allows removing structures from caps without them being freed. Helpful when
plugins need to move around structures without having to do an expensive structure
copy.
