The fake video decoder ignores input bitstream except
to enforce caps restrictions. It reads video width,
height and framerate from caps. Then it just pushes
video frames without doing any decoding.
The fake video decoder just draws a snake moving from
left to right in the middle of the frame. This is a
light weight drawing while it still provides an idea
about how smooth is the rendering.
The fake video decoder inherits from GstVideoDecoder.
It is useful to measure how smooth will be the whole
rendering pipeline if you had the most efficient video
decoder. Also useful to bisect issues for example when
suspecting issues in a specific video decoder.
Handles mpeg2, mpeg4, h263, h264, theora, vp8, wmv3, msmpeg,
flash-video, vp6, vp9, wmv1, wmv2, divx but more can be
added if needed.
For now it can only output RGBA, RGBx, BGRA, BGRx.
Its rank is 0 (none) but I added a property to change it so
that it can be selected by decodebin.

Back in the mists of time[1], we switched `giostream*` elements to not close the
stream on stop() so that applications that needed a handle to the stream after
the element stopped had it.
Unfortunately, we also have cases[2] where waiting for the element to be
finalized is too late for the stream to be closed.
In order to not change the behaviour of the element, we add a property to allow
users to select the desired behaviour.

These 10bit formats are identical to NV12_16L32S, but 64bytes of data is being
prefixed with 16bytes data with four pixels of lower 2bits per byte. For
MT2110T, the lower two bits set so each bytes contains a column of 4 pixels,
also describe as tiled lower 2 bits. MT2110T has been chosen as a name to match
the vendor chosen name. This format is unlikely to exist for other vendors.
For MT2110R, the 2 low bits are in raster order.

The current limit is `x10`, which allows just `+20 dB` of gain.
While it may seem sufficient, this came up as a problem
in a real-world, non-specially-engineered situation,
in strawberry's EBU R 128 loudness normalization.
(https://github.com/strawberrymusicplayer/strawberry/pull/1216)
There is an audio track (that was not intentionally engineered that way),
that has integrated loudness of `-38 LUFS`,
and if we want to normalize it's loudness to e.g. `-16 LUFS`,
which is a very reasonable thing to do,
we need to apply gain of `+22 dB`,
which is larger than `+20 dB`, and we fail...
I think it should allow at least `+96 dB` of gain,
and therefore should be at `10^(96/20) ~= 63096`.
But, i don't see why we need to put any specific restriction
on that parameter in the first place, other than the fact
that the fixed-point multiplication scheme does not support volume
larger than 15x-ish.
So let's just implement a floating-point fall-back path
that does not involve fixed-point multiplication
and lift the restriction altogether?

Add support for generation of 10/12/14/16 bit bayer test pattern.
The implementation is rather simplistic, just take the ARGB
input, generate 16-bit data out of it instead of 8-bit, shift
them as required by the output bitness, and apply endian swap.
Example usage:
```
$ gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc ! \
video/x-bayer,width=512,height=512,format=bggr12le ! \
bayer2rgb ! \
video/x-raw,format=RGBA64_LE ! \
videoconvert ! \
autovideosink

Proxy the force-live and min-upstream-latency propertyies to the internal
glvideomixerelement at construction time. force-live has to be set
during construction of the glvideomixerelement, so that has to be
deferred until the _constructed() call. Make sure that all other
existing proxied properties will still get set once the element
is created.

Adding propose_allocation is to meet the requirement of Application to
request buffers. Application sometimes need to create buffer pool
and request buffers to maintain buffer management itself, and Gstreamer plugin
import Application's buffers to use. So, add propose_allocation in
appsink like waylandsink and kmssink etc.

With the addition of the 'keep-aspect-ratio' sizing policy, content
that doesn't fit the target size is downscaled according to its own
aspect ratio to fit that target size, and centered.
Centering might not always be the desired behaviour, however;
consumers of this API might want to align the resulting picture to
the left or to the right.
To account for any of these cases, add two new properties to the
glvideomixer pad: xalign, and yalign. They operate on normalized
coordinates (0.0 for start, 1.0 for end), and default to 0.5 which
centers content.

The sizing policy allows selecting between the current behavior,
which deforms the texture to fill the width and height of the
pad; and a new 'keep-aspect-ratio' sizing policy, which fits the
texture within the rectangle respecting its original aspect ratio.
The reason for this is that this allows avoiding extra elements
in the pipeline, and reduces the number of buffer passing through
the pipeline.
Most of this code is a direct port of the sizing policy handling
of the compositor element, except it is adapted to operate on GL
texture coordinates through the projection matrix.

This was the intention from the start, just took me a few years *cough* to
actually implement it properly.
Gapless is handled by re-using as much as possible the same decoders and sinks
if present, and only pre-rolling switching at the sources level (with buffering
if/when needed).
In order to enable "gapless" playback, the "next" uri should be set at any time
between the moment the `about-to-finish` signal is emitted and the moment the
current play item is done. Previously this could only be done with the signal
emission.
This new implementation also allows "Instantaneous URI switching". This allows a
much faster way of switching playback entries while re-using as many elements as
possible. To enable this set `instant-uri` property to TRUE, the default being
FALSE.

Introduce the option to have the streams be parsed with `parsebin` for
compatible sources (i.e. which are eligible for buffering in the same way as
before this commit).
By parsing the inputs directly, this allows more accurate buffering control:
* Instead of relying on potential bitrate information coming from somewhere
* and *without* being linked downstream
If `parse-streams` is activated and the stream is eligible for buffering, then a
`multiqueue` will be used on the output of `parsebin` in order to handle the
buffering.
API: `parse-streams`

This allows users to let videorate fully fill the segments when received
EOS or on new segment, removing an arbitrary limit of 25 duplicates which
might not be what the user wants (for example on low FPS stream in GES,
that sometimes leaded to broken behavior)
