a9d1a493a7 Fixes for -Wwrite-strings
This changes some APIs in compatible ways:
- Some functions now take "const char *" arguments, not "char *"
- Some structs now have "conts char *" members, not "char *"
The changes may cause warnings when compiling with the right warning
flags. You've been warned.

Also adds -Wwrite-strings as a warning flag in configure.ac.

f3d579362c pluginloader: fix compiler warning on win32
Move variable that's only used on unix into the unix block so that
the compiler doesn't complain about the unused variable on win32
(see #597662).

8967604053 pluginloader: try scanner set via env var before using the installed one
If the GST_PLUGIN_SCANNER environment variable is set, we should try
the scanner specified there first, to make sure the right scanner binary
is used for uninstalled setups and builds from source when there's
already an installed version.

087aa6ced4 gst_private.h: make sure gst_private.h is included before glib.h
For the reason outlined at the beginning of gst_private.h (inline
functions in glib may need the g_log_domain variable). Also include
gst_private.h before using any G_OS_* defines, esp. in plugin loader.

3c7c9692ac plugin-scanner: rename plugin-scanner helper binary to gst-plugin-scanner
and install into a different directory $(libexecdir/gstreamer-0.10) so that
everything is versioned properly.

NOTE: run 'make clean' after updating; if you are running an uninstalled setup,
you will need to update your gst-uninstalled script (unless it's symlinked
to gstreamer core master) and exit/enter your uninstalled environment to get
the updated environment. If you are running an installed setup, you should
run 'make uninstall' before merging this change or remove the old
plugin-scanner binary manually.

Fixes #601698.

f425b2711f plugin loader: Don't fail after a short read/write
The logic to handle short reads/writes was incorrect, causing the
packet handler to attempt to handle incomplete packets.

Grow the packet transmit buffer in proportion to observed usage,
causing fewer reallocs.

Add some more debug in the registry chunks code.

cebbcb1cdf plugin loader: Don't crash on bogus plugin details
When invalid registry chunks are received from the child, and parsing
fails, don't access an invalid plugin pointer. Instead attempt to
figure out which plugin caused the problem and blacklist it.

27284628e4 optimisation : Use g_object_newv where possible.
This avoids:
* triple-checking for the GType when type-checking is enabled (see #597260)
* Avoids going through an expensive no-argument checking which landed in
  glib-2.22
* Avoids going through 2 extrac functions (g_object_new -> g_object_new_valist)

7f68d7a6f8 gstpluginloader: Don't wait forever on gst_poll_wait.
This allows the macosx versions to properly error out when fds are closed.

This is only a temporary fix until the pluginloader is switched to not
use GstPoll but GIOChannels.

63934021ab pluginloader: Move stdin and stdout out of harm's way
In the plugin loader subprocess, move stdin and stdout to new fd's
so that plugins printing things during plugin init or (*gasp*)
possibly reading from stdin don't interfere with the data sent to
and from the parent.

8108494a38 pluginloader: Add a magic number and maximum size limit.
Guard against a hostile child process that sends bogus data
due to memory corruption by adding a magic number to each packet,
and limit the maximum size of any message to 32MB

97d6c854ae registry: Also check the binary registry chunk version of the child.
When trying to find a function plugin-scanner, include a check on the
version of the binary registry chunks it sends, to make sure it's
what we understand.

8bf3d8cec2 registry: Support installed/uninstalled plugin-scanner helper
Add a simple version check when starting the plugin-scanner so we can
verify we're talking to one that talks the same language.
First try a plugin-scanner in the installed path, then try one via the
GST_PLUGIN_SCANNER env var if that doesn't work.
Update the uninstalled script.
Install the plugin-scanner to the libexec dir
