Meson supports building both static and shared libraries in a single
library() call. It has the advantage of reusing the same .o objects and
thus avoid double compilation.

We need different export decorators for the different libs.
For now no actual change though, just rename before the release,
and add prelude headers to define the new decorator to GST_EXPORT.
This is something bindings can't handle and it causes leaks. Instead
move the ref_sink() to the explicit, new() constructors.
This means that abstract classes, and anything that can have subclasses,
will have to do ref_sink() in their new() function now. Specifically
this affects GstClock and GstControlSource.

Use g_object_new() instead which nowadays has a shortcut for the
no-properties check. It still does an extra GType check in the
function guard, but there's a pending patch to remove that
and it's hardly going to be a performance issue in practice,
even less so on a system that's compiled without run-time checks.
Alternative would be to move to the new g_object_new_properties()
with a fallback define for older glib versions, but it makes the
code look more unwieldy and doesn't seem worth it.
Fixes deprecation warnings when building against newer GLib versions.

Allows proxying the control interface from one property on one GstObject
to another property (of the same type) in another GstObject.
E.g. in a parent-child relationship, one may need to
gst_object_sync_values() on the child and have a binding (set elsewhere)
on the parent update the value.
Note: that this doesn't solve GObject property forwarding and must be
taken care of by the implementation manually or using GBinding.

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.
The default padding I introduced in d4f81fb4e6 is
actually only 4 pointers and on 32bit platforms already smaller than the union.
Replace it with a fixed 64byte padding. Don't add the normal padding for now.
Fixes#755822
While this technically is an abi break, we decided to do this:
1) the struct is documented to be internal
2) the struct is alloced and freed inside the library
3) there are no public methods that receive or return instances
4) the only code known to use this struct are classes containd here
There was few Since: mark missing their column. Also unify the way
we set the Since mark on enum value and structure members. These
sadly don't show up in the index.
We were segfaulting because g_sequence_search was returning the iter_end,
and that iterator does not contain anything and thus should not be used
directly
