We won't be able to do ASSERT_CRITICAL, but the main body of the tests
are still valid, and given we ship GStreamer with this configuration, it
is important to be able to run some tests against it.
If guessing that a string matches a flagset, be more thorough
at checking that the string following a string of hex:hex:
actually looks like a flag set string. Add some unit tests
to catch more cases.

test_intersect_flagset fails because when caps is being
created, flags and mask are being cast to uint64 while
they should be uint. This results in invalid memory access
or a segfault.

GstFlagSet is a new type designed for negotiating sets
of boolean capabilities flags, consisting of a 32-bit
flags bitfield and 32-bit mask field. The mask field
indicates which of the flags bits an element needs to have
as specific values, and which it doesn't care about.
This allows efficient negotiation of arrays of boolean
capabilities.
The standard serialisation format is FLAGS:MASK, with
flags and mask fields expressed in hexadecimal, however
GstFlagSet has a gst_register_flagset() function, which
associates a new GstFlagSet derived type with an existing
GFlags gtype. When serializing a GstFlagSet with an
associated set of GFlags, it also serializes a human-readable
form of the flags for easier debugging.
It is possible to parse a GFlags style serialisation of a
flagset, without the hex portion on the front. ie,
+flag1/flag2/flag3+flag4, to indicate that
flag1 & flag4 must be set, and flag2/flag3 must be unset,
and any other flags are don't-care.

Compliments my previous patch for gst_caps_set_features, which would
previously assert and leak the old GstCapsFeatures if the caps already
had a GstCapsFeatures and you were trying to replace it with a new one.
These are meant to specify features in caps that are required
for a specific structure, for example a specific memory type
or meta.
Semantically they could be though of as an extension of the media
type name of the structures and are handled exactly like that.
Fixes negotiation taking a ridiculous amount of
time (multiple 10s of seconds on a core2) when
there are duplicate entries in lists.
Could have a negative performance impact on other
scenarios because we now have to iterate the
dest list to avoid duplicates, but we don't
have a lot of lists any more these days, and
they tend to be small anyway. The negatives
are hopefully countered by the positive effects
of reducing the list length early on in the
process. And in any case, it's the right thing
to do.
Based on patch by Andre Moreira Magalhaes.

Rename _do_simplify() to _simplify(). The name was introduced as a replacement
method for a deprecated method but we can now rename it again.
Fix some docs.
Make gst_caps_do_simplify() take ownership of the input caps and produce a
simplified output caps. This removes the requirement of having writable input
caps and the method can make the caps writable only when needed.
Rework some caps operations so they don't rely on writable caps but instead take
ownership of the input caps and do _make_writable() only when needed.
Remove some const from caps functions, it does not make much sense for
refcounted objects and does not allow us to return a refcount to the const input
caps.
Rework the base classes fixate vmethods to not operate on the caps in-place.
All this saves us around 30% of caps and structure copy and new operations.
..and as a result gst_caps_is_equal() and others.
This now only checks if for every subset structure there is
a superset structure in the superset caps. Previously we were
subtracting one from another, creating completely new caps
and then even simplified them.
The new implemention now is about 1.27 times faster and doesn't
break the -base unit tests are anything anymore.
This prevents adding duplicates over and over again to the resulting
caps if they already describe the new intersection result.
While this changes intersection from O(n*m) to O(n^2*m), it results in
smaller caps, which in the end will decrease further processing times.
For example in an audioconvert ! audioconvert ! audioconvert pipeline,
when forwarding the downstream caps preference in basetransform
(see e26da72de25a91c3eaad9f7c8b2f53ba888a0394) this results in
16 instead of 191 caps structures.

This reverts commit 9ef1346b1f.
Way to much for one commit and I'm not sure we want to get rid of the pad caps
just like that. It's nice to have the buffer and its type in onw nice bundle
without having to drag the complete context with it.
