Add back function guard that checks the refcount in a read-only
operation first, and bail out without modifying the passed-in
memory if it's clearly not a valid mini object. Otherwise we
probably cause more harm than good. We keep the second sanity
check based on the 'real refcount' at the time of the unref
around for now too.

It make no sense to allow using that. Any use would lead to leak
of crash. Note that GMiniObject is entirely unusable as you cannot
cast from let's say GstBuffer to GstMiniObject.
gst_memory_lock (mem, WRITE | EXCLUSIVE);
gst_memory_lock (mem, WRITE | EXCLUSIVE);
Succeeds when the part-miniobject.txt design doc suggests that this should fail:
"A gst_mini_object_lock() can fail when a WRITE lock is requested and
the exclusive counter is > 1. Indeed a GstMiniObject object with an
exclusive counter 1 is locked EXCLUSIVELY by at least 2 objects and is
therefore not writable."

Support for (nullable) was added to G-I at the same time as nullable
return values. Previous versions of G-I will not mark return values as
nullable, even when an (allow-none) annotation is present, so it is
not necessary to add (allow-none) annotations for compatibility with
older versions of G-I.

They are very confusing for people, and more often than not
also just not very accurate. Seeing 'last reviewed: 2005' in
your docs is not very confidence-inspiring. Let's just remove
those comments.
Move the locking methods from GstMemory to GstMiniObject.
Add a miniobject flag to enable LOCKABLE objects. LOCKABLE objects can
use the lock/unlock API to control the access to the object.
Add a minobject flag that allows you to lock an object in readonly mode.
Modify the _is_writable() method to check the shared counter for LOCKABLE
objects. This allows us to control writability separately from the refcount for
LOCKABLE objects.
So mini objects don't have to poke into the GstMiniObject part
of the structure. Saves lines of code, and seems slightly cleaner.
We don't have proper OO hierarchies or methods here after all.
When 2 weak refs are added, the array is not resized big enough.
Simplify the weak ref handling code.
Free memory when we remove all weak refs.
Allow installing the same weak ref multiple times, like in gobject.
The size field is used by subclasses to store the total allocated size of the
memory for this miniobject. Because miniobject doesn't really do anything with
this field we can move it to the subclasses.
Remove trace, we use debug log for that
Make alloc trace simpler, removing some methods.
Activate alloc trace with a GST_TRACE=3 environment variable.
Dump leaked objects atexit.
Provide an offset in the object where the GType can be found so that more
verbose info can be given for objects.
Remove -T option from gst-launch because tracing is now triggered with the
environment variable.
Remove gst_mini_object_register() and add a GST_DEFINE_MINI_OBJECT macro to
define a _get_type() function for the boxed miniobject.
Remove a bunch of custom _get_type() functions and replace them with the
miniobject macro.
Rename some _init method to _priv_*_initialize() like the rest of them.
Inspired by patch from Johan Dahlin and see bug #657603
Avoid playing with the refcount to decide when a buffer has been recycled by the
dispose function. The problem is that we then temporarily can have a buffer with
a refcount > 1 being acquired from the pool, which is not writable. Instead use
a simple boolean return value from the dispose function to inform the called
that the object was recycled or not.
Add a new method to steal the miniobject stored at a location.
Add a new method to store a miniobject in a location and taking ownership
of the miniobject.
