On Windows, concurrent colored gstreamr debug output and usual
stdout/stderr string will cause broken output on terminal.
Since it's OS specific behavior, that's hard to completely avoid it
but we can protect it at least among our printing interfaces side.
gst_ring_buffer_logger_log calls several functions while formatting
the message which may in turn log a message while we already hold
the mutex. Do all formatting first before acquiring the mutex to
avoid this and reduce the time we hold the mutex.
And add strduped function pointer names to the global quark
table, so that they don't get reported as lost by valgrind.
This allows us to use GST_DEBUG when running tests under
valgrind.
When outputting debug logs on Windows, some sections are protected
with a non-recursive lock. Turns out though that gst_debug_message_get()
might indirectly, via our printf format extensions, call code which
in turn would try to log something when it can't handle something. If
that happens we end up in gst_debug_log_default() again recursively and
try to again take the lock that's already taken, thus deadlocking.
Format the debug message string outside of the critical section
instead to avoid this.

Remove unneeded reapplication of patterns. Besides being
superfluous (gst_debug_reset_threshold already applies
patterns) it was also wrong and didn't stop checking patterns
after the first match (broken in 67e9d139).
Also fix up unit test which checked for the wrong order.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=794717
Replace the while+goto with a for+break and check walk to determine
whether we had a match. Move up the unlock to keep the locked section as
small as possible.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=794717
Move the match, logging and set_threshold to a new function.
The log levels are different, so choose the higher one (LOG). Having two
equivalent messages at two different levels seems like a bad idea
anyway.

When registering a new debug category after gst_init(), simply check
the existing patterns against that new category.
No need to iterate over all categories and recheck them all against
the existing patterns.
Also, no need to re-parse the existing pattern string set via GST_DEBUG
and add the same set of match patterns all over again to the existing
list of match patterns every time we register a new debug category.
Combined with iterating all debug categories on a change this would
make adding debug categories after gst_init() very very very slow.
This stores debug logs in memory per thread and uses up to a
configurable amount of bytes per thread for the logs. Inactive threads
are timed out after a configurable amount of time.

When registering a new debug category after _debug_init(), we need to
re check the GST_DEBUG filter settings again.
In addition when parsing the filter setting, we need to already bump up
the min-debug level to not suppress debug log statments that dynamically
register a category. This happens in libraries that use a function to
register a category on first use.
This is an API break but that API has not been released yet.
We are passing a flag rather than a simple boolean as we can imagine
to implement more features in the future for example to retrieve a
stack trace for all the threads, etc..
Retrieving source file and line numbers is pretty
expensive while getting a stack trace, this new argument
allows the user to decide to retrieve a backtrace
without those infos instead which is much faster.
For example running $ GST_LEAKS_TRACER_STACK_TRACE=1 GST_DEBUG=GST_TRACER:7 \
GST_TRACERS=leaks time gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc num-buffers=1 ! fakesink:
* With simple stack traces:
0.04s user 0.02s system 99% cpu 0.060 total
* With full stack traces:
0.66s user 0.23s system 96% cpu 0.926 total
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=775423
We were creating a new session to retrive each line of a stack trace
and we are supposed to start it once for a whole stack trace.
And pass the whole file to gst-indent.

It's useful to be able to set a name pattern for GST_DEBUG_FILE so that
the same environment variable can be used for multiple processes and
still write to different files. Especially useful if these processes
run simultaneously.
%p: Replaced with PID
%r: Replaced with random number
%p is obviously useful. %r is useful when for instance running two
processes with same PID but in different containers.

Other gst libraries and/or elements may want to add some debug logging to an
external debug system or implement delayed debugging for performance reasons.
Exposes the internal __gst_vasprintf as gst_info_vasprintf which has a fallback
to g_vasprintf if the debug system is disabled.

It's used by the debugging and tracer subsystem and in various files, make it
a central thing that is initialized independ of the existence of those
subsystems.
Ensure iterator is advanced. The current list iteration code only
advances the iterator (walk) if a match is found, which results
in an infinite loop when more than one entry exists in the list.

In order to support some types of protected streams (such as those
protected using DASH Common Encryption) some per-buffer information
needs to be passed between elements.
This commit adds a GstMeta type called GstProtectionMeta that allows
protection specific information to be added to a GstBuffer. An example
of its usage is qtdemux providing information to each output sample
that enables a downstream element to decrypt it.
This commit adds a utility function to select a supported protection
system from the installed Decryption elements found in the registry.
The gst_protection_select_system function that takes an array of
identifiers and searches the registry for a element of klass Decryptor that
supports one or more of the supplied identifiers. If multiple elements
are found, the one with the highest rank is selected.
This commit adds a unit test for the gst_protection_select_system
function that adds a fake Decryptor element to the registry and then
checks that it can correctly be selected by the utility function.
This commit adds a unit test for GstProtectionMeta that creates
GstProtectionMeta and adds & removes it from a buffer and performs some
simple reference count checks.

API: gst_buffer_get_protection_meta()

Instead of always shortening the __FILE__ path, even if the
log message is not actually printed, which might happen if
the log level is activated but the category is not, only
shorten the path if we're actually going to output it and
if it looks like it needs shortening. Log handlers had no
guarantee that they would get a name instead of a path
anyway on any architecture, so it shouldn't be a problem.

TRUE is 1, but every other non-zero value is also considered true. Comparing
for equality with TRUE would only consider 1 but not the others.
Also normalize booleans in a few places.
We're not actually doing anything differently anywhere when
we detect that we're running under valgrind, so let's not
print that confusing message that makes people wonder how
they can switch it off so they can valgrind the normal
code paths. Seeing that we're not doing that nor have done
so in the last 10 years we might just as well remove the
entire check actually.
Use user_data to pass the log_file handle to the logger-function.
If one wants to change the log target (e.g. GST_DEBUG_FILE), simply call
gst_debug_remove_log_function() and re-add the handler with the new log-target
using gst_debug_add_log_function ().
