Custom meta is backed by a GstStructure, and does not require
that users of the API expose their GstMeta implementation as
public API for other components to make use of it.
In addition, it provides a simpler interface by ignoring the
impl vs. api distinction that the regular API exposes.
This new API is meant to be the meta counterpart to custom events
and messages, and to be more convenient than the lower-level API
when the absolute best performance isn't a requirement.

Introducing "GST_PLUGIN_FEATURE_RANK" environment variable in order for users
to adjust rank of plugin(s) via environment.
A "feature" and "rank" key-value pair should be separable by ":",
and each key-value pair is recognized per "," delimiters. The rank
can be a numerical value or one of pre-defined rank values
such as "NONE", "MARGINAL", "SECONDARY", and "PRIMARY" in case-insensitive manner.
In addition to pre-defined { NONE, MARGINAL, SECONDARY, PRIMARY },
"MAX" can be passed to key value used to ensure having a higher rank
than other plugin features.
Example)
- GST_PLUGIN_FEATURE_RANK=qtdemux:256,h264parse:NONE
Set rank of qtdemux plugin to 256 (primary) and 0 (none) for h264parse.
And add strduped function pointer names to the global quark
table, so that they don't get reported as lost by valgrind.
This allows us to use GST_DEBUG when running tests under
valgrind.
An object that can be waited on and asked for asynchronous values.
In much the same way as promise/futures in js/java/etc
A callback can be installed for when the promise changes state.

There were a few errors:
* The plugin scanner now accepts executable path as an argument.
In case it is NULL, argc == 2
* We find the executable path in init_pre instead of gst_init,
allowing this to work when gst is initialized through the
option group (eg gst-inspect)
* There was a semi-colon missing in the __APPLE__ #ifdef
When a plugin declares a dependency using this flag, all the
relative paths are considered to be relative to the path of
the main executable.
We try to determine the path of the executable portably,
with implementations provided for Linux, Windows and Mac.
If retrieval of the path fails, we will not detect changes.
In order for the main executable path to be the same when
scanning a plugin in a child process, a new variable is
exposed in gst_private.h, _gst_executable_path

It is possible to use gst_deinit() without registering the base
classes. For example, when using gst_init_get_option_group() and
call the program with an invalid parameter. In that case,
gst_deinit() will lead to a segmentation fault, since there is a
dereference to a pointer that is null.
This patch validates if the type is non-null before dereferencing
it.

A lot of debug categories are declared in element class_init
functions, which don't get run until the element is first created
(not just registered in the plugin load function). This means
that --gst-debug-help doesn't print out a lot of categories.
Creating an instance of each element from the element factory
makes them visible, at some extra cost - 2-3 times longer, which can
be a full second or two of extra waiting. Yikes!

It's used by the debugging and tracer subsystem and in various files, make it
a central thing that is initialized independ of the existence of those
subsystems.
DllMain should not be relied on for anything except storing the DLL handle.
It should also not be defined for static builds, but doing so is not
straightforward and is mostly harmless, so let's just add a comment about that
for now.
Do not do any checks for the start/stop in the new
gst_segment_to_running_time_full() method, we can let this be done by
the more capable gst_segment_clip() method. This allows us to remove the
enum of results and only return the sign of the calculated running-time.
We need to put the old clipping checks in the old
gst_segment_to_running_time() still because they work slightly
differently than the _clip methods.
See https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=740575
The GST_INFO ("initialized GStreamer succesfully") is currently at the end of
gst_init_check which isn't guaranteed to be run since GStreamer can be
initialized by using init_pre and init_post directly from GOptionContext like
gst-launch does. Ensure this message is displayed by moving it to init_post.
They are very confusing for people, and more often than not
also just not very accurate. Seeing 'last reviewed: 2005' in
your docs is not very confidence-inspiring. Let's just remove
those comments.
