In some cases, probes might want to handle the buffer/event/query
themselves and stop the data from travelling further downstream.
While this was somewhat possible with buffer/events and using
GST_PROBE_DROP, it was not applicable to queries, and would result
in the query failing.
With this new GST_PROBE_HANDLED value, the buffer/event/query will
be considered as successfully handled, will not be pushed further
and the appropriate return value (TRUE or GST_FLOW_OK) will be returned
This also allows probes to return a non-default GstFlowReturn when dealing
with buffer push. This can be done by setting the
GST_PAD_PROBE_INFO_FLOW_RETURN() field accordingly

It will make the default accept-caps handler use the pad template
caps instead of the query-caps result to check if the caps is
acceptable. This is aligned with what the design docs says the
accept-caps should do (be non-recursive) and should be faster. It
is *not* enabled by default, though.

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.

Stores the last result of a gst_pad_push or a pull on the GstPad and provides
a getter and a macro to access this field.
Whenever the pad is inactive it is set to FLUSHING

Make a new flag on the pad that tweaks the default behaviour of the
accept-caps function. By default it will check for a subset of the
query-caps result but this is not always desirable. The query-caps
result contains all the constraints to make a good caps decision
upstream but sometimes, like for parsers, not all the constrained caps
fields are known upstream and then a subset check would fail. Switching
to an intersection makes this work again.

* add many missing declarations to sections
* GstController has been removed, update docs
* skip GstIndex when generating documentation
* rephrase so gtkdoc doesn't imagine return value
* add missing argument description for gst_context_new()
* document GstOutputSelectorPadNegotiationMode and move to header-file

Add an alternative version of gst_pad_check_reconfigure that doesn't
clear the reconfigure flag.
Useful for increasing error resilience without duplicating the
reconfigure code in pad task functions.

These changes are to clean up syntax issues such as missing colons,
missing spaces, etc., and minor issues such as argument names in
headers not matching the implementation and/or documentation.
Make it so that one can specify a buffer for get/pull_range where the downstream
element should write into. When passing NULL, upstream should allocate a buffer,
like in 0.10.
We also need to change the probes a little because before the pull probe, there
could already be a buffer passed. This then allows us to use the same PROBE
macro for before and after pulling.
While we're at the probes, make the query probe more powerful by handling the
GST_PAD_PROBE_DROP return value. Returning _DROP from a query probe will now
return TRUE upstream and will not forward the probe to the peer or handler.
Also handle _DROP for get/pull_range properly by not dispatching to the
peer/handler or by generating EOS when the probe returns DROP and no buffer.
Make filesrc handle the non-NULL buffer passed in the get_range function and
skip the allocation in that case, writing directly into the downstream provided
buffer.
Update tests because now we need to make sure to not pass a random value in the
buffer pointer to get/pull_range
