Highlights of the features provided are:
* Faster builds on Linux (~40-50% faster)
* The ability to build with MSVC on Windows
* Generate Visual Studio project files
* Generate XCode project files
* Much faster builds on Windows (on-par with Linux)
* Seriously fast configure and building on embedded
... and many more. For more details see:

Building with Meson should work on both Linux and Windows, but may
need a few more tweaks on other operating systems.
We don't do calculations with different units (buffer offsets and bytes)
anymore but have functions for:
1) getting the number of bytes since the last discont
2) getting the offset (and pts/dts) at the last discont
and the previously added function to get the last offset and its distance from
the current adapter position.

API: gst_buffer_prev_offset
API: gst_buffer_get_offset_from_discont
The gst_buffer_get_offset_from_discont() method allows retrieving the current
offset based on the GST_BUFFER_OFFSET of the buffers that were pushed in.
The offset will be set initially by the GST_BUFFER_OFFSET of
DISCONT buffers, and then incremented by the sizes of the following
buffers.
The gst_buffer_prev_offset() method allows retrievent the previous
GST_BUFFER_OFFSET regardless of flags. It works in the same way as
the other gst_buffer_prev_*() methods.

Similar to the stress test functions for buffers that has a callback to
create the buffer to be pushed, it's useful to have functions that use a
callback to create the event to be pushed.

This is needed so that we can do proper tag handling
all around, and combine the upstream tags with the
tags set by the subclass and any extra tags the
base class may want to add.

To be able to disable the slightly "magic" forwarding of the
necessary events between the harnesses.
Also introduce a new test-suite for GstHarness, that documents the
feature, and should hopefully expand into documenting most of the
features the harness possesses.

By introducing gst_harness_add_src_harness and gst_harness_add_sink_harness
we collect all sub-harness setup in one function, making the previous
sub-harness creation functions now calls these directly, and making it
much easier (and less error-prone) to add your own src or sink-harness
using the more generic harness-creation functions.
This way we don't have to allocate/free temporary structs
for storing things in the queue array.

API: gst_queue_array_push_tail_struct()
API: gst_queue_array_peek_head_struct()

* Fix function name in sections.txt
* Add few missing or fix miss-named
* Workaround gtk-doc being confused with non typedef
types (loose track of public/private
One of the nice feature in GTK doc is that it generate indexes
of added APIs base on the since marker. Include that in our doc
while fixing the issue of duplicate ID (produce xml contains that
id it seems)
This uses all of the netclientclock code, except for the generation and
parsing of packets. Unfortunately some code duplication was necessary
because GstNetTimePacket is public API and couldn't be extended easily
to support NTPv4 packets without breaking API/ABI.
GstPtpClock implements a PTP (IEEE1588:2008) ordinary clock in
slave-only mode, that allows a GStreamer pipeline to synchronize
to a PTP network clock in some specific domain.
The PTP subsystem can be initialized with gst_ptp_init(), which then
starts a helper process to do the actual communication via the PTP
ports. This is required as PTP listens on ports < 1024 and thus
requires special privileges. Once this helper process is started, the
main process will synchronize to all PTP domains that are detected on
the selected interfaces.
gst_ptp_clock_new() then allows to create a GstClock that provides the
PTP time from a master clock inside a specific PTP domain. This clock
will only return valid timestamps once the timestamps in the PTP domain
are known. To check this, the GstPtpClock::internal-clock property and
the related notify::clock signal can be used. Once the internal clock
is not NULL, the PTP domain's time is known. Alternatively you can wait
for this with gst_ptp_clock_wait_ready().
To gather statistics about the PTP clock synchronization,
gst_ptp_statistics_callback_add() can be used. This gives the
application the possibility to collect all kinds of statistics
from the clock synchronization.

GstNetAddress can be used to store ancillary data which was received with
or is to be sent alongside the buffer data. When used with socket sinks
and sources which understand this meta it allows sending and receiving
ancillary data such as unix credentials (See `GUnixCredentialsMessage`)
and Unix file descriptions (See `GUnixFDMessage`).
This will be useful for implementing protocols which use file-descriptor
passing in payloaders/depayloaders without having to re-implement all the
socket handling code already present in elements such as multisocketsink,
etc. This, in turn, will be useful for implementing zero-copy video IPC.
This meta uses the platform independent `GSocketControlMessage` API
provided by GLib as a part of GIO. As a result this new meta does not
require any new dependencies or any conditional compliation for
portablility, although it is unlikely to do anything useful on non-UNIX
platforms.
Add a method letting people to ensure that unreffing one object
leads to its destruction, and possibly the destruction of more object
(think destruction of a GstBin etc...).

Adds API to get or peek a sub-reader of a certain size from
a given byte reader. This is useful when parsing nested chunks,
one can easily get a byte reader for a sub-chunk and make
sure one never reads beyond the sub-chunk boundary.
API: gst_byte_reader_peek_sub_reader()
API: gst_byte_reader_get_sub_reader()
* GstGlobalDeviceMonitor was renamed to GstDeviceMonitor
* Expand GST_MESSAGE_DEVICE to the full enum value names
* Correct the incorrect references to the GstDeviceProvider interfaces
* Describe caps arguments for gstcheck interface
* Add missing docs for GstNetAddressMeta and its add function
* Add docs for toc helper macros
* Avoid refering to GstValueList type as done elsewhere
Fixes https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=732786
This defaults to TRUE and if it is set to FALSE it is the subclasses
responsibility to return GST_FLOW_EOS from the create() vmethod once
the stream is done.
* 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

Adds a variant of the _push function that doesn't check the queue limits
before adding the new item. It is useful when pushing an element to the
queue shouldn't lock the thread.
One particular scenario is when the queue is used to serialize buffers
and events that are going to be pushed from another thread. The
dataqueue should have a limit on the amount of buffers to be stored to
avoid large memory consumption, but events can be considered to have
negligible impact on memory compared to buffers. So it is useful to be
used to push items into the queue that contain events, even though the
queue is already full, it shouldn't matter inserting an item that has
no significative size.
This scenario happens on adaptive elements (dashdemux / mssdemux) as
there is a single download thread fetching buffers and putting into the
dataqueues for the streams. This same download thread can als generate
events in some situations as caps changes, eos or a internal control
events. There can be a deadlock at preroll if the first buffer fetched
is large enough to fill the dataqueue and the download thread and the
next iteration of the download thread decides to push an event to this
same dataqueue before fetching buffers to other streams, if this push
locks, the pipeline will be stuck in preroll as no more buffers will be
downloaded.
There is a somewhat common practice in dash streams to have a single
very large buffer for audio and one for video, so this will always
happen as the download thread will have to push an EOS right after
fetching the first buffer for any stream.
