Since we started depending on GLib 2.44, we can be sure this macro is
defined (it will be a no-op on compilers that don't support it). For
plugins we should just start using `G_DECLARE_FINAL_TYPE` which means we
no longer need the macro there, but for most types in base/gst-libs we
don't want to break ABI, which means it's better to just keep it like it
is (and use the `#ifdef` instead).
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.
While we're at it, 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.

If we can guarantee the lifetime of the fd is longer than
the memory, we can use DONT_CLOSE flag not to close when release.
But it's not provided in gstdmabuf yet while gstfdmemory does.
For example, in case of using VA-API or MSDK, we would need this api.
Otherwise we should call dup to duplicate the fd.

When doing CPU Access, some architecture may require caches to be
synchronize before use. Otherwise, some visual artifact may be
visible, as the CPU modification may still resides in cache.

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.
This can be used in a generic way as common interface by all platforms
that, in one way or another, pass around physical memory addresses.
This is used by the gl lib and seems useful enough, so might just as
well move it next to the other allocators.

For example mmap can fail with EACCES if the the fd has been open
with read only mode. And mapping the memory might be the only way
to check that. So no need to print out an error.
Ex: ioctl(dev, DRM_IOCTL_PRIME_HANDLE_TO_FD, flags & ~DRM_RDWR)

This class was made subclassable, though for future growth of the code,
it's better if we have some room for add class members. Using the small
padding since this is unlikely.
Adds "memory:DMABuf" caps feature. Since 1.11 tag.
Useful when the the dma-buf buffer cannot be mapped to CPU for r/w requests.
Example: protected content or platform constraints.

Highlights of the features provided are:
* Faster builds on Linux (~40-50% faster)
* The ability to build with MSVC on Windows
* Generate Visual Studio project files
* Generate XCode project files
* Much faster builds on Windows (on-par with Linux)
* Seriously fast configure and building on embedded
... and many more. For more details see:

Building with Meson should work on both Linux and Windows, but may
need a few more tweaks on other operating systems.
Add GST_FD_MEMORY_FLAG_DONT_CLOSE to avoid closing the fd when the
memory is freed. When you can guarantee the lifetime of the fd is
longer than the memory, this can save a dup() call.
All those where super straight forward from the warnings gtkdoc prints. It kind
of makes sense to apply them before the list of warnings is >100 and people
complain that gtkdoc is noisy.
Make a base class that can help with allocating fd-backed memory.
Make dmabuf extend from the base class.
We can now make methods to check if memory has an fd and get the fd for
all the different types of fd-backed memory.
Make a separate file for the code to handle the fd backed memory.
This would make it possible later to add other allocators also using
fd backed memory.
