Allow the user to register a child property of a base effect as a time
property. This can be used by GES to correctly calculate the
duration-limit of a clip when it has time effects on it. The existing
ges_effect_class_register_rate_property is now used to automatically
register such time effects for rate effects.

It should be sufficient to set the edit flag only on the toplevel, which
allows all of its children to know they are being edited and should not
move in response.
Also, removed some unnecessary setting/checking of this.
Also, supplied the ges_timeline_element_peak_toplevel, which unlike
ges_timeline_element_get_toplevel_parent, does not add a reference to
the toplevel. Some corresponding leaks in auto-transition have been
fixed by using this instead.

Editing has been simplified by breaking down each edit into a
combination of three basic single-element edits: MOVE, TRIM_START, and
TRIM_END.
Each edit follows these steps:
+ Determine which elements are to be edited and under which basic mode
+ Determine which track elements will move as a result
+ Snap the edit position to one of the edges of the main edited element,
(or the edge of one of its descendants, in the case of MOVE), avoiding
moving elements.
NOTE: in particular, we can *not* snap to the edge of a neighbouring
element in a roll edit. This was previously possible, even though the
neighbour was moving!
+ Determine the edit positions for clips (or track elements with no
parent) using the snapped value. In addition, we replace any edits of
a group with an edit of its descendant clips. If any value would be
out of bounds (e.g. negative start) we do not edit.
NOTE: this is now done *after* checking the snapping. This allows the
edit to succeed if snapping would cause it to go from being invalid to
valid!
+ Determine whether the collection of edits would result in a valid
timeline-configuration which does not break the rules for sources
overlapping.
+ If all this succeeds, we emit snapping-started on the timeline.
+ We then perform all the edits. At this point they should all succeed.
The simplification/unification should make it easier to make other
changes.

Only copy the properties that can be both read and written, and are not
construct only. Similarly for child properties when a track-element is
deep copied.
Technically, an element can still be floating on the return from
`->paste` (e.g. a clip not in a layer). Since the return of the `_paste`
methods are (return full) a non-floating object is probably expected in
all cases.
The way a clip's track elements are added to tracks was re-handled. This
doesn't affect the normal usage of a simple audio-video timeline, where
the tracks are added before any clips, but usage for multi-track
timelines has improved. The main changes are:
+ We can now handle a track being selected for more than one track,
including a full copy of their children properties and bindings.
(Previously broken.)
+ When a clip is split, we copy the new elements directly into the same
track, avoiding select-tracks-for-object.
+ When a clip is grouped or ungrouped, we avoid moving the elements to
or from tracks.
+ Added API to allow users to copy the core elements of a clip directly
into a track, complementing select-tracks-for-object.
+ Enforced the rule that a clip can only contain one core child in a
track, and all the non-core children must be added to tracks that
already contains a core child. This extends the previous condition
that two sources from the same clip should not be added to the same
track.
+ Made ges_track_add_element check that the newly added track element
does not break the configuration rules of the timeline.
+ When adding a track to a timeline, we only use
select-tracks-for-object to check whether track elements should be
added to the new track, not existing ones.
+ When removing a track from a timeline, we empty it of all the track
elements that are controlled by a clip. Thus, we ensure that a clip
only contains elements that are in the tracks of the same timeline, or
no track. Similarly, when removing a clip from a timeline.
+ We can now avoid unsupported timeline configurations when a layer is
added to a timeline, and already contains clips.
+ We can now avoid unsupported timeline configurations when a track is
added to a timeline, and the timeline already contains clips.

The properties will only have their signal emitted when they change in
value, even when g_object_set, etc, methods are used.
The _set_start method already did this, but start was missing the
EXPLICIT_NOTIFY flag. There should be no need to check that the property
has changed in ->set_start or ->set_duration
As such, they only emit a signal if their value changes, either through
their _set_inpoint or _set_max_duration methods, or through
g_object_set, etc.
Also, we now require the ->set_max_duration method to be implemented.
This was added to GESGroup, which will only allow the max-duration to be
set to GST_CLOCK_TIME_NONE.
Add the child-property-added and child-property-removed signals to
GESTimelineElement.
GESContainer is able to use this to keep their child properties in sync
with their children: if they are added or removed from the child, they
are also added or removed from the container.
Only allow elements that were created by ges_clip_create_track_elements
(or copied from such an element) to be added to a clip. This prevents
users from adding arbitrary elements to a clip.
As an exception, a user can add GESBaseEffects to clips whose class
supports it, i.e. to a GESSourceClip and a GESBaseEffectClip.
This change also introduces a distinction between the core elements of a
clip (created by ges_clip_create_track_elements) and non-core elements
(currently, only GESBaseEffects, for some classes). In particular,
GESBaseEffectClip will now distinguish between its core elements and
effects added by the user. This means that the core elements will always
have the lowest priority, and will not be listed as top effects. This is
desirable because it brings the behaviour of GESBaseEffectClip in line
with other clip types.
We were implementing the logic for moving/trimming elements specific
to SourceClip but this was not correct ass the new timeline tree allows
us to handle that for all element types in a generic and nice way.
This make us need to have groups trimming properly implemented in the
timeline tree, leading to some fixes in the group tests.
This adds tests for the various cases known to not be handled properly
by the previous code.

We used to always call the `->set_child_property` virtual method
of the object that `ges_timeline_element_set_child_property` was called
from, but that means that, in the case of referencing GESContainer
children properties from its children, the children wouldn't know
what child property have been set, and the children override wouldn't
be takent into account, in turns, it means that the behaviour could be
different in the setter depending on parent the method was called,
which is totally unexpected.
We now make sure that the vmethod from the element that introduced the
child property is called whatever parent method is called, making the
behaviour more uniform.
Fix the python override to make sure that new behaviour is respected.
In general, brought the behaviour of the `start`, `duration` and
`inpoint` setters in line with each other. In particular:
1. fixed return value the GESSourceClip `duration` setter
2. changed the GESClip `start` setter
3. fixed the inpoint callback for GESContainer
4. changed the type of `res` in GESTimelineElement to be gint to
emphasise that the GES library is using the hack that a return of -1
from klass->set_duration means no notify signal should be sent out.
Also added a new test for clips to ensure that the setters work for
clips within and outside of timelines, and that the `start`, `inpoint`
and `duration` of a clip will match its children.
By passing NULL to `g_signal_new` instead of a marshaller, GLib will
actually internally optimize the signal (if the marshaller is available
in GLib itself) by also setting the valist marshaller. This makes the
signal emission a bit more performant than the regular marshalling,
which still needs to box into `GValue` and call libffi in case of a
generic marshaller.
Note that for custom marshallers, one would use
`g_signal_set_va_marshaller()` with the valist marshaller instead.
Setters return values should return %FALSE **only** when the value
could not be set, not when unchanged or when the subclass handled
it itself!
This patches makes it so the return value is meaningul by allowing
subclasses return anything different than `TRUE` or `FALSE` (convention
is -1) to let the subclass now that it took care of everything and
no signal should be emited.
Now that the notion of layer has been moved down to #GESTimelineElement
(through the new #ges_timeline_element_get_layer_priority method), this
method make much more sense directly in the base class.
This is implemented on top of a Tree that represents the whole timeline.
SourceClips can not fully overlap anymore and the tests have been
updated to take that into account. Some new tests were added to verify
that behaviour in greater details
Each timeline element is in a layer (potentially spanning
over several), it is very often useful to retrieve an element
layer priority (from an app perspective more than the element
priority itself as that is a bit of an implementation detail
in the end).
Port tests to it
Export GES library API in headers when we're building the
library itself, otherwise import the API from the headers.
This fixes linker warnings on Windows when building with MSVC.
Fix up some missing config.h includes when building the lib which
is needed to get the export api define from config.h
