Add private replacements for deprecated functions such as
g_mutex_new(), g_mutex_free(), g_cond_new() etc., mostly
to avoid the deprecation warnings. We'll change these
over to the new API once we depend on glib >= 2.32.
Replace g_thread_create() with g_thread_try_new().
Some things aren't quite right yet and cause problems (0-sized buffers
with PREROLL flag set cause crashes in elements that don't expect those;
getting pipeline back to preroll/playing again when audio/video streams
have different lengths and a seek past the end of one of the stream
happens doesn't always work, etc.). Needs further investigation in the
next cycle.

Advance stop times too when they are getting higher than the
stop time of segments, avoiding assertions.
The stop time has to be advanced too so that running time keep in sync
for gapless mode.

That is, if eos is received which will not be forwarded, and the stream
has not yet seen any data, then send a buffer to preroll downstream
(which might otherwise be accomplished by the eos event).
This fixes a race condition in playbin2's gapless mode, where the
EOS of other streams might arrive in the sinks before the last stream
ends and the switch to the new track happens. The EOS sinks won't
accept any new data then and playback stops.
To prevent this, delay all EOS events until all streams are EOS
and advance the sinks of the EOS streams by filler newsegment
events if necessary.
Fixes bug #625118.
Before gapless playback failed when switching between audio-only,
video-only and audio-video files, when choosing different clocks
and when the different streams had different durations.
This is now handled by a helper element, which keeps track of the
running times of all streams and synchronizes them.
Fixes bug #602437.
