A TestClock will be used automatically when a scenario has a
`crank-clock` action.
And make `validate` and `debug-viewer` options features in meson,
no reason they weren't and now we require gst-check to build validate
Part-of: <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-devtools/-/merge_requests/182>
This way we can have a single file that wraps scenarios,
`gst-validate-1.0` arguments, as well as a configuration.
It changes the name of `description` of scenarios to use `meta`
The goal is to replace tests describes in python with dictionary
to fully self contained `.validatetest` files which look like:
```
meta,
handles-states=true,
ignore-eos=true,
gst-validate-args = {
"videotestsrc pattern=blue ! video/x-raw,format=I420,framerate=1/1 ! timeoverlay ! $(videosink) name=videosink allocation-meta-flags=0",
},
configs = {
"$(validateflow), pad=videosink:sink, buffers-checksum=true, ignored-fields={\"buffers=meta\", }",
}
play
seek, start=0.0, stop=5.0, flags=accurate+flush, rate=1.0
crank-clock, expected-elapsed-time=0.0
crank-clock, repeat=4, expected-elapsed-time=1.0
crank-clock, expected-elapsed-time=1.0
stop, on-message=eos
```
We do not have a way to know the format modifiers to use with string
functions provided by the system. `G_GUINT64_FORMAT` and other string
modifiers only work for glib string formatting functions. We cannot
use them for string functions provided by the stdlib. See:
https://developer.gnome.org/glib/stable/glib-Basic-Types.html#glib-Basic-Types.description

Get a sense of files and line numbers in the parsed GstStructure
and take that information when reporting GstValidateAction errors
by letting the user know where the action comes from in the messages.
And accept non-literal string in printing formats.
Since `,` is the separator between fields of GstStructure we can
safely consider that if a line ends with it, the following line
is the logical continuity of the serialized GstStructure.
This makes writing those files more convenient and reading them
more pleasant as we do not need to add extra `\` at end of lines
anymore
