Remove the symbolic link `gst-uninstalled` which points to `gst-env`.
The `uninstalled` is the old name and the project should stick to a
single name for the procedure.
Remove the term from all the files, exceptions are variables from
dependencies like `uninstalled_variables` from pkgconfig and
`meson-uninstalled`.
Adjust mentions of the script in the documentation and README.

Do not maintain similar build instructions within each gst-plugins-*
subproject and the subproject/gstreamer subproject. Use the build
instructions from the mono-repository and link to them via hyperlink.

There's no need to do this, and it can make seeking far less accurate.
For a specific use case: I am working with a long (45-minute) MPEG-1 layer 3 file, which has a constant bit rate but no seeking tables. Trying to seek the pipeline immediately after pausing it, without the ACCURATE flag, to a location 41 minutes in, yields a location that is potentially over ten seconds ahead of where it should be. This patch improves that drastically.

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.

Those will cause us to renegotiate at the next aggregate cycle,
and while at that point we may decide to reconfigure upstream
branches (in practice we don't as this is inherently racy,
and that's the reason why mixer subclasses perform conversion
internally), we certainly don't want to just forward the event
willy-nilly to all our sinkpads.
An actual issue this is fixing is when caps downstream of a
compositor are changed at every samples-selected signal emission,
for the purpose of interpolating the output geometry, and the
compositor has a non-zero latency, the reconfigure events were
forwarded to basesrc, which triggered an allocation query, which
in turn caused aggregator to have to drain (thus not being able
to queue <latency> frames), leading to disastrous effects
(choppy output as compositor couldn't consume frames fast enough,
the higher the latency the choppier the output)

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.

When detecting the remote time has been reset which may occur if remote
device providing the clock server has been power reset, then clock is
no longer synced. Setting clock state will trigger a signal to client
informing on sync lost making it possibility to take appropriate action.

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.

Currently reading extension relies on the fact that everything after the
last"." character is a file extension. Whereas that works fine for most
of the cases, it breaks when the URI contains a query part.
E.g.: `http://url.com/file.mp4?param=value` returns `mp4?param=value`
instead of `mp4`.
In this commit we use URI parser to read the path of the URI (in the example
above, that is `/file.mp4`) and read extension from that path.
