During dispose the pool will still have a reference count of 1 and all
API on it can still be safely called.
Subclasses will have already freed their own data before finalize is
called but would nonetheless be called into again via the pool
deactivation.

It is an extremely common mistake on Windows to have incorrect PATH
values when loading a plugin, and the error from g_module_error()
(which just calls FormatMessageW()) is very confusing in this case:
The specified module could not be found.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/debug/system-error-codes--0-499-#ERROR_MOD_NOT_FOUND
It implies the plugin itself could not be found. The actual issue is
that a DLL dependency could not be found. We need to detect this case
and print a more useful error message.
We should still print the error fetched from FormatMessage() so that
people are able to google for it.

Dynamically registered elements (hardware element in most cases)
may or may not be available on a system and properties may be different
per system.
This new API will make documentation skipping possible in programmable way.

This takes a plain message string and not a format string, and as a
result doesn't have to be passed through vasprintf() and lead to further
unnecessary allocations. It can also contain literal `%` because of
that.
The new function is mostly useful for bindings that would have to pass a
full string to GStreamer anyway and would do formatting themselves with
language-specific functionality.

The failure conditions can be overidden by subclasses, and a boolean
return value is provided to the caller whether adding/removing the child
element has actually worked. The caller can then handle this
accordingly but flooding stderr with this is not very useful.

Also refactor various internals of the monitor code:
- Don't allow starting twice but just return directly when starting a
second time.
- Don't end up in an inconsistent state if call start() a second time
while the monitor is starting up.
- Remove complicated cookie code: it was not possible to add/remove
filters while the monitor was started anyway so this was only useful
in the very small time-window while starting the monitor or while
getting the devices. Instead disallow adding/removing filters while
the monitor is starting, and when getting devices work on a snapshot
of providers/filters.

Introduces a `libraries` variable that contains all libraries in a
list with the following format:
``` meson
libraries = [
[pkg_name, {
'lib': library_object
'gir': [ {full gir definition in a dict } ]
],
....
]
```
It therefore refactors the way we build the gir so that we can reuse the
same information to build them against 'gstreamer-full' in gst-build
when linking statically

In an embedded system where all services run as seperate users it is
useful to have the gstreamer registry readable by all so it can be
re-used, in similar manner as a host system where one user have seperate
applications running but all share same registry.
To make this possible introducing GST_REGISTRY_MODE for adjusting the
changing mode of the registry binary when finishing up with the
temporary file (which has restricted access).
