The merge request workflow can be confusing to people unfamiliar with
it, so add screenshots.
Also add a new section on how to revise merge requests, since a lot of
people tend to open new merge requests to make any changes.
Eliminate the separate "How to Prepare a Merge Request for Submission"
section -- merge it with the main section.

This is usually necessary to allow gst-indent to treat it as
a statement, but we do not run gst-indent on headers and we do not
have extra semicolons in other places that this macro is used in the
header. Fixes warnings when using the header:

When fixating color, there might be "other caps" with color spaces not
supported by the caps features exposed in the vapostproc's source pad
caps template (perhaps it's a bug somewhere else in GStreamer).
This solution checks if the proposed format exists in the filter
within the caps feature associated with the proposed format.
The check is done with the new filter's function
gst_va_filter_has_video_format().

In the need-data appsrc callback, a buffer is pulled from the
appsink. This buffer is then copied so that metadata is writable.
The copy is pushed to the appsrc but it doesn't take ownership
of the buffer so we need to manually unref it. The original buffer
is finally unreffed when the sample is freed.

This is due to an unsafe usage of the pad task. We didn't ensure proper
ownership of the task. That race involved the task being released too early,
and was detected, luckily, by the glib mutex implementationt that
reported the mutex being disposed while being locked.

On Android (especially) and for static builds in general it is safer to link
against libsoup and have the dynamic custom loading disabled. For those cases we
can safely assume the application will use either libsoup2 or libsoup3 and not
both.

The earlier size of 2 MB was set back in 2009, it doesn't
seem unreasonable to raise it to 8 MB these days. The use
case at hand is matroskademux containing both a video stream
with a very low amount of compression but no decoding latency,
and a H265 stream.

It is an extremely common mistake on Windows to have incorrect PATH
values when loading a plugin, and the error from g_module_error()
(which just calls FormatMessageW()) is very confusing in this case:
The specified module could not be found.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/debug/system-error-codes--0-499-#ERROR_MOD_NOT_FOUND
It implies the plugin itself could not be found. The actual issue is
that a DLL dependency could not be found. We need to detect this case
and print a more useful error message.
We should still print the error fetched from FormatMessage() so that
people are able to google for it.
