It's been around for more than 4 years and people have built
lots of stuff on top of it, doesn't really make sense to keep
it marked as unstable. We're unlikely to change it now, and
we can always deprecate it and make a new one if needed.
This stabilises the following API:
- gst_tracer_register()
- gst_tracing_get_active_tracers()
- gst_tracing_register_hook()
- gst_tracer_record_new()
- gst_tracer_record_log()
Might also help a bit with #424
Part-of: <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/-/merge_requests/576>
It's not really possible for us to recover when someone uses the
gst_tracer_record_new() API incorrectly. Also, document a piece of
somewhat-obscure code.
Use g_object_new() instead which nowadays has a shortcut for the
no-properties check. It still does an extra GType check in the
function guard, but there's a pending patch to remove that
and it's hardly going to be a performance issue in practice,
even less so on a system that's compiled without run-time checks.
Alternative would be to move to the new g_object_new_properties()
with a fallback define for older glib versions, but it makes the
code look more unwieldy and doesn't seem worth it.
Fixes deprecation warnings when building against newer GLib versions.

gst_structure_new_empty() is not returning NULL in any valid scenarios,
checking for NULL here is useless. Especially because we would dereference any
NULL right after the NULL check again.
CID 1352037.
We previously check if the string ends on .class, as such strrchr() should
return something non-NULL. Add an assertion for that.
CID 1349642.
Change the gst_tracer_record_new() api to take the parameters the make the
spec structure directly. This allows us to own the top-level structure and
also collect the args so that we can take ownership of the sub-structures.

self->spec is got using g_value_get_boxed(), which is a transfer none function.
So the same should not be freed, which is resulting in wrong behavior.

GstTracerValueFlags is not being initialized and the same could result in wrong
comparision and behavior. Hence initializing it to GST_TRACER_VALUE_FLAGS_NONE.

Only hide GstTracer and GstTracerRecord API behind GST_USE_UNSTABLE_API,
but don't spew any warnings, otherwise everyone has to define this
to avoid compiler warnings.
This reverts parts of commit 89ee5d948d.
We use this class to register tracer log entry metadata and build a log
template. With the log template we can serialize log data very efficiently.
This also simplifies the logging code, since that is now a simple varargs
function that is not exposing the implementation details.
Add docs for the new class and basic tests.
Remove the previous log handler.
