These parameters are not actually `out` parameters but must
be allocated and zero-initialized by the calling function.
Marking them as `out caller-allocates` will cause memory
corruptions when calling these APIs from e.g., Python code.

With the 2.72 release, glib-networking developers have decided that
TLS certificate validation cannot be implemented correctly by them, so
they've deprecated it.
In a nutshell: a cert can have several validation errors, but there
are no guarantees that the TLS backend will return all those errors,
and things are made even more complicated by the fact that the list of
errors might refer to certs that are added for backwards-compat and
won't actually be used by the TLS library.
Our best option is to ignore the deprecation and pass the warning onto
users so they can make an appropriate security decision regarding
this.
We can't deprecate the tls-validation-flags property because it is
very useful when connecting to RTSP cameras that will never get
updates to fix certificate errors.

It is entirely possible for the cancellable to be cancelled (and freed)
in gst_rtsp_connection_flush() while there may be an ongoing read/write
operation.
Nothing prevents gst_rtsp_connection_flush() from waiting for the
outstanding read/writes.
This could lead to a crash like (where cancellable has been freed
within gst_rtsp_connection_flush()):

Fix by adding a cancellable lock and returning an extra reference used
across all read/write operations. gst_rtsp_connection_flush() can free
the in-use cancellable and it will no longer affect any in progress
read/write.
