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.

It causes the timestamp to go wrong, should not cause much of a performance
increase and in the cases where it is faster, it is broken in 0.10 as well.
We should try to review this when rewriting the adapter for 0.11 memory
features.
Fixes https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=674791
Add a function to retrieve a list of buffers containing the first N bytes from
the adapter. This can be done without a memcpy and should make it possible to
transfer the list to a GstBufferList later.
gst_adapter_masked_scan_uint32 could return values smaller than offset
if the first byte(s) of the mask are 0 and the pattern matches the
beginning of the adapter.
Added examples to documentation of gst_adapter_masked_scan_uint32().
Also added some more masked boundary tests.
Fixes#584118
Add a reasonably optimized new gst_adapter_masked_scan_uint32() function
to scan the adapter for a pattern after applying a mask.
Add some unit tests.
API: GstAdapter::gst_adapter_masked_scan_uint32()
Fixes#583187
When a are requested to take a buffer from the adapter that is exactly the
headbuffer, don't make a subbuffer of it but return that head buffer.
Add a unit-test for this new optimisation.

Do some optimisation work in GstAdapter to avoid copies in more cases.
It could still do slightly better by merging buffers when
gst_buffer_is_span_fast is true, but is already faster.
Also, avoid traversing a single-linked list to append each incoming
buffer inside the adapter.
Add simple test app that times the adapter behaviour in different
situations, and extend the unit test to check that bytes enter and
exit the adapter in their original order.

API: addition: gst_adapter_take_buffer()
* libs/gst/base/gstadapter.c: (gst_adapter_push),
(gst_adapter_peek), (gst_adapter_take), (gst_adapter_take_buffer),
(gst_adapter_available_fast):
* libs/gst/base/gstadapter.h:
Prepare for optimizing the hell out of this hugely inefficient
piece of code.
Added gst_adapter_take_buffer() so we can at least start thinking
about subbuffering and merging.
Added some comments.
* tests/check/Makefile.am:
* tests/check/libs/adapter.c: (GST_START_TEST),
(gst_adapter_suite), (main):
Added GstAdapter check.
