This is exposed as a solution to the use case of plugging in
sources with a higher latency after the aggregator has started
playing with an initial set of sources, allowing to avoid resyncing.

Add new GST_API_EXPORT in config.h and use that for GST_*_API
decorators instead of GST_EXPORT.
The right export define depends on the toolchain and whether
we're using -fvisibility=hidden or not, so it's better to set it
to the right thing directly than hard-coding a compiler whitelist
in the public header.
We put the export define into config.h instead of passing it via the
command line to the compiler because it might contain spaces and brackets
and in the autotools scenario we'd have to pass that through multiple
layers of plumbing and Makefile/shell escaping and we're just not going
to be *that* lucky.
The export define is only used if we're compiling our lib, not by external
users of the lib headers, so it's not a problem to put it into config.h
Also, this means all .c files of libs need to include config.h
to get the export marker defined, so fix up a few that didn't
include config.h.
This commit depends on a common submodule commit that makes gst-glib-gen.mak
add an #include "config.h" to generated enum/marshal .c files for the
autotools build.

For each lib we build export its own API in headers when we're
building it, otherwise import the API from the headers.
This fixes linker warnings on Windows when building with MSVC.
The problem was that we had defined all GST_*_API decorators
unconditionally to GST_EXPORT. This was intentional and only
supposed to be temporary, but caused linker warnings because
we tell the linker that we want to export all symbols even
those from externall DLLs, and when the linker notices that
they were in external DLLS and not present locally it warns.
What we need to do when building each library is: export
the library's own symbols and import all other symbols. To
this end we define e.g. BUILDING_GST_FOO and then we define
the GST_FOO_API decorator either to export or to import
symbols depending on whether BUILDING_GST_FOO is set or not.
That way external users of each library API automatically
get the import.

The avg_bitrate is an unsigned int, so the gst_util_uin64_scale() function can't
be used for it, as it expects signed integers for the fraction parts arguments.

Don't return a value from a function that doesn't
return a value using the returned value from a
function that also doesn't return a value.
gstbitwriter.h(265): warning C4098: 'gst_bit_writer_align_bytes_unchecked': 'void' function returning a value
And make use of it in the typefind element. It's useful to distinguish
between the different errors why typefinding can fail, and especially to
not consider GST_FLOW_FLUSHING as an actual error.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=796894
And make use of that in the typefind element to also be able to make use
of the extension in push mode. It previously only did that in pull mode
and this potentially speeds up typefinding and might also prevent false
positives.

gst_base_transform_transform_caps can return NULL in various conditions
thus we should not treat its result as valid caps.
In all other places NULL is properly handled.
The processing deadline is the acceptable amount of time to process the media
in a live pipeline before it reaches the sink. This is on top of the algorithmic
latency that is normally reported by the latency query. This should make
pipelines such as "v4lsrc ! xvimagesink" not claim that all frames are late
in the QoS events. Ideally, this should replace max_lateness for most applications.

We need all relevant events of a segment to have consistent seqnum:
* GST_EVENT_SEGMENT
* GST_EVENT_EOS
If we are push-based and create a new segment, use the same seqnum
as the upstream event.
If we are pull-based, use the seqnum of that newly created segment
event everywhere
GstBitWriter provides a bit writer that can write any number of
bits into a memory buffer. It provides functions for writing any
number of bits into 8, 16, 32 and 64 bit variables.

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.

And make the drop() functions expect a 0-based index too,
this addresses a longstanding FIXME. This will not break
backward compatibility, because the drop() functions
were previously only meant to be used with the index
returned by find().

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.
Otherwise it's possible that we won't be able to start again
depending the implementation. We do start/stop in normal use cases
whenever GST_QUERY_SCHEDULING happens before we are started.

The flushing state is handled a bit differently, there is no need
to stop flushing in start_complete. This would other result in
unlock_stop being called without unlock_start.
Unlike what the old comment says, there is no need to take the live
lock here, we are still single threaded at this point (app thread
or the state change thread). Also, we will wait for playing state
in create/getrange, no need to do that twice.

The queue gets filled by the tail, so a query will always be the tail
object, not the head object. Also add a _peek_tail_struct() method to the
GstQueueArray to enable looking at the tail.
With unit test to prevent future regression.

Position queries with GST_FORMAT_TIME are supposed to return stream
time.
gst_base_sink_get_position() estimates the current stream time on its
own instead of using gst_segment_to_stream_time(), but the algorithm
used was not taking segment.offset into account, resulting in invalid
values when this field was set to a non-zero value.

As we do that for serialized events as well, and the subclass will
most likely need to access pad->segment to make its decisions,
doing that from the sinkpad's streaming threads was racy.
Sub-class may want to decide to go passthrough/in-place by inspecting
the support meta APIs. This patch duplicates the check for this mode,
so we still don't do uneeded allocation query while we allow sub-classes
to switch the behaviour during it's own decide_allocation call.
Notice that such sub-class need to reset the class to non-passthrough in
set_caps() in order for decide_allocation to be called again. This is
needed otherwise we'd be doing an allocation query in element in which
it make no sense (notably capsfilter).

Add a gst_base_src_submit_buffer_list() function that allows subclasses
to produce a bufferlist containing multiple buffers in the ::create()
function. The buffers in the buffer list will then also be pushed out
in one go as a GstBufferList. This can reduce push overhead
significantly for sources with packetised inputs (such as udpsrc)
in high-throughput scenarios.
The _submit_buffer_list() approach was chosen because it is fairly
straight-forward, backwards-compatible, bindings-friendly (as opposed
to e.g. making the create function return a mini object instead),
and it allows the subclass maximum control: the subclass can decide
dynamically at runtime whether to return a list or a single buffer
(which would be messier if we added a create_list virtual method).

If we're adding to the tail of the queue, it's because we're converting
a gap event, so don't block there it means we're calling from the output
thread.

Add a comment for when the state matters. Use a local var for priv in
update_time_level() to improve readability. Move the our_latency local
var below the query results checks.
We want to skip serialization for FLUSH_STOP events (apparently). We can
simplify the code to add it to the top-level conditions. There was nothing
done in the first code path if the event was FLUSH_STOP.
Just queue it like any other serialized event. This way we don't need to
check if there still are buffers in the queue.
Validated with the tests and gst-launch-1.0 pipelines.
Don't copy the whole event struct. Set the input params when we call the
forwarding helper. Initialize the internal fields and return values in the
helper.
Otherwise check_events() will not remove the GAP event (as the queue
tail is not the event anymore but the GAP buffer), then the GAP buffer
is handled, then the GAP event is handled again, ... forever.
