c47e1383ca plugin: Add prefix support to dependencies
This adds a new flags, GST_PLUGIN_DEPENDENCY_FLAG_FILE_NAME_IS_PREFIX,
which allow using the names as prefix for plugin depencies.

79b935b304 plugin: Allow device nodes as dependency
This is useful for feature that are produced after probing a specific
node. You want to reload this plugin if the specific node(s) have been
removed, added, or reloaded.

446b3e6ddc plugin: Don't do lossy shift on hash
In plugin is responsible for calculating a hash of the dependencies
in order to determine if the cache should be invalidated or not.
Currently, the hash combining method removes a bit of the original
have before combining with an addition. As we use 32bits for our hash
and shift 1 bit for each file and directory, that resulting hash only
account for the last 32 files. And is more affected by the last file.

Rotating technique (shifting, and adding back the ending bit), can be
use to make the addition non-commutative. In a way that different order
gives different hashes. In this case, I don't preserve this behaviour
because the order in which the files are provided by the OS is
irrelevant.

In most cases, the XOR operation is used to combine hashes. In this
code we use the addition. I decided to preserve the addition because
we make use of non-random hash ((guint) -1) in the algorithm for
matching files that are not really part of the hash (symlinks, special
files). Doing successive XOR on this value, will simply switch from
full ones, to full zero. The XOR used with whitelist has been preserved
as it's based on a fairly randomized hash (g_str_hash).

749810b238 registry: Add plugins to the registry we are loading and not default one
When running gst_registry_scan_plugin_file we were losing the
information about the registry being loaded and ended up adding the
plugin to the default registry which was not correct.

154eefecc9 Don't compare booleans for equality to TRUE and FALSE
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.

2759882379 introspection: add missing (nullable) annotations to return values
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.

b0d89da6b6 gst: Change versioning
Remove GST_MAJORMINOR and replace it by GST_API_VERSION
Also set GST_VERSION_{MAJOR,MINOR,MICRO,NANO} explicitely
now.

All versions are at 1.0.0 now for the release soon but
API/ABI can still change until the 1.0.0 release.

Next release versions until 1.0.0 will be 0.10.9X and
these will be release candidates. GST_VERSION_* will
nonetheless stay at 1.0.0.0.

8c72758ec2 plugin: add release datetime field to GstPluginDesc and set it if GST_PACKAGE_RELEASE_DATETIME is defined
This is a string describing a date and/or date/time in a simple subset of
the ISO-8601 format, namely either "YYYY-MM-DD" or "YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MMZ" (with
'T' the date/time separator and the 'Z' indicating UTC).

The main purpose of this field is to keep track of plugin and element versions
on an absolute timeline, so it's possible to determine which one is newer when
comparing two date time numbers. This will allow us to express 'replaces'-type
relationships betweeen plugins and element factories in future, even across
different modules and plugin merges or splits (source module version numbers
aren't particularly useful here, since they can only meaningfully be compared
within the same module). It also allows applications and libraries to reliably
check that a plugin is recent enough without making assumptions about modules
or module versions.

We use a string here to keep things simple and clear, esp. on the build system
side of things.

9c6b87510e pluginloading: add support for whitelisting based on plugin or source module name and path
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.
