A core meta which helps implement the old concept
of sub-buffering in some situations, by making it
possible for a buffer to keep a ref on a different
parent buffer. The parent buffer is unreffed when
the Meta is freed.
This meta is used to ensure that a buffer whose
memory is being shared to a child buffer isn't freed
and returned to a buffer pool until the memory
is.

Provide the memory implementation the GstMapInfo that will be used to
map/unmap the memory. This allows the memory implementation to use
some scratch space in GstMapInfo to e.g. track different map/unmap
behaviour or store extra implementation defined data about the map
in use.

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.

gst_clock_wait_for_sync(), gst_clock_is_synced() and gst_clock_set_synced()
plus a signal to asynchronously wait for the clock to be synced.
This can be used by clocks to signal that they need initial synchronization
before they can report any time, and that this synchronization can also get
completely lost at some point. Network clocks, like the GStreamer
netclientclock, NTP or PTP clocks are examples for clocks where this is useful
to have as they can't report any time at all before they're synced.

GstFlagSet is a new type designed for negotiating sets
of boolean capabilities flags, consisting of a 32-bit
flags bitfield and 32-bit mask field. The mask field
indicates which of the flags bits an element needs to have
as specific values, and which it doesn't care about.
This allows efficient negotiation of arrays of boolean
capabilities.
The standard serialisation format is FLAGS:MASK, with
flags and mask fields expressed in hexadecimal, however
GstFlagSet has a gst_register_flagset() function, which
associates a new GstFlagSet derived type with an existing
GFlags gtype. When serializing a GstFlagSet with an
associated set of GFlags, it also serializes a human-readable
form of the flags for easier debugging.
It is possible to parse a GFlags style serialisation of a
flagset, without the hex portion on the front. ie,
+flag1/flag2/flag3+flag4, to indicate that
flag1 & flag4 must be set, and flag2/flag3 must be unset,
and any other flags are don't-care.

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.

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.
gst_bin_sync_children_states() will iterate over all the elements of a bin and
sync their states with the state of the bin. This is useful when adding many

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.

The start and stop should represent the currently downloading region.
The estimated-total should represent the remaining time to download
the currently downloading region. This makes it a lot more useful
for applications because they can then use those values to update
the fill region and use the estimated time to delay playback.
Update the docs with this clarification.
Currently there is no other way to unlock a buffer pool other then
stopping it. This may have the effect of freeing all the buffers,
which is too heavy for a seek. This patch add a method to enter and
leave flushing state. As a convenience, flush_start/flush_stop
virtual are added so pool implementation can also unblock their own
internal poll atomically with the rest of the pool. This is fully
backward compatible with doing stop/start to actually flush the pool
(as being done in GstBaseSrc).

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.

All streams that have the same group id are supposed to be played
together, i.e. all streams inside a container file should have the
same group id but different stream ids. The group id should change
each time the stream is started, resulting in different group ids
each time a file is played for example.
The check is done using curl (if available). It lists the curl exit code + http
status code (for those > 399) together with the use of the url in the code. The
check is not fatal.
Source elements with limited bandwidth capabilities and supporting
buffering for downstream elements should set this flag when answering
a scheduling query. This is useful for the on-disk buffering scenario
of uridecodebin to avoid checking the URI protocol against a list of
hardcoded protocols.

This is equal to any other caps features but results in unfixed caps. It
would be used by elements that only look at the buffer metadata or are
currently working in passthrough mode, and as such don't care about any
specific features.
These are meant to specify features in caps that are required
for a specific structure, for example a specific memory type
or meta.
Semantically they could be though of as an extension of the media
type name of the structures and are handled exactly like that.
Elements should override GstElement::set_context() and also call
gst_element_set_context() to keep this context up-to-date with
the very latest context they internally use.
The _1_0 suffixed environment variables override the
non-suffixed ones, so if we're in an environment that
sets the _1_0 suffixed ones, such as jhbuild, we need
to set those to make sure ours actually always get
used.
