'A OVER B' compositing is explained at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha_compositing.
Previously, overlaying text on a transparent background image left the
text overlay also transparent. This pipeline shows such an example:
gst-launch videotestsrc pattern=white ! video/x-raw-yuv,format=\(fourcc\)AYUV ! alpha alpha=0.0 ! textoverlay text=Testing auto-resize=False font-desc=60px ! videomixer ! ffmpegcolorspace ! autovideosink
With this patch, text is composited "OVER" the background image and
thus is visible regardless of the alpha of the background image. The
overlay in the above pipeline works after applying this patch.
Commit ba2e500bd9 ensured to provide
a running clock when EOS had finished rendering. However,
other measures are needed (and were in place before) to ensure a
running clock when EOS still needs rendering (i.e. waiting).
So, specifically, re-introduce eos_rendering removed in aforementioned commit,
this time as a public variable so subclasses can be aware of the situation.
Fixes (part of) #645961.

We should keep playlist/m3u8 available for normal m3u8 playlists,
which we we'll likely support some day. Also, we probably don't
want this handled like other playlists, so application/* seems
more appropriate in this case, even if it's really just a playlist.
The GstTagXmpWriter interface is to be implemented on elements that
provide xmp serialization. It allows users to select which
xmp schemas should be used on serialization.

Before the behaviour was undefined and implemented differently by elements,
now core checks for this (and other problems) and returns NULL and an assertion.
This fixes a regression that an assertion would happen if
gst_video_get_component_offset would be called with width or
height as 0.
Calling it with 0 is fine if the format isn't yuv and this
was already being used in some other places of video.c
In addition to ensuring that an element we want to select in
autoplug-select can enter the READY state, we also now check if it can
accept the caps we wish to plug it for. This is handy for sinks that
need to perform a probe to figure out whether they can actually handle a
given format.
When fixating caps, from_par should always be initialized
with a fixed value.
In case the fixation is from src to sink pad it was setting
the from par (srcpad par) to a fraction range, this patch initializes
it to 1/1, based on the assumption that missing PAR is 1/1.

Post better error messages in case typefind/decodebin2 are missing or
could not be loaded for some reason (e.g. because they inadvertently
got blacklisted).
