The goal here is to minimize the work needed to bring all images
to a common format. A better criteria than the number of pads
with a given format is the number of pixels with a given format.

Crossfading is a bit more complex than just having two pads with the
right keyframes as the blending is not exactly the same.
The difference is in the way we compute the alpha channel, in the case
of crossfading, we have to compute an additive operation between
the destination and the source (factored by the alpha property of both
the input pad alpha property and the crossfading ratio) basically so
that the crossfade result of 2 opaque frames is also fully opaque at any
time in the crossfading process, avoid bleeding through the layer
blending.
Some rationnal can be found in https://phabricator.freedesktop.org/T7773.

When the pad has received EOS, its buffer may still be mixed
any number of times, when the pad's framerate is inferior
to the output framerate.
This was introduced by my patch in
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=782962, this patch
also correctly addresses the initial issue.
When caps changes while streaming, the new caps was getting processed
immediately in videoaggregator, but the next buffer in the queue that
corresponds to this new caps was not necessarily being used immediately,
which resulted sometimes in using an old buffer with new caps. Of course
there used to be a separate buffer_vinfo for mapping the buffer with its
own caps, but in compositor the GstVideoConverter was still using wrong
info and resulted in invalid reads and corrupt output.
This approach here is more safe. We delay using the new caps
until we actually select the next buffer in the queue for use.
This way we also eliminate the need for buffer_vinfo, since the
pad->info is always in sync with the format of the selected buffer.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=780682
When entering this code path, we know that:
We received EOS on this pad.
We consumed all its buffers.
In any case, we want to replace vaggpad->buffer with NULL,
otherwise we will end up mixing the same buffer twice.

Highlights of the features provided are:
* Faster builds on Linux (~40-50% faster)
* The ability to build with MSVC on Windows
* Generate Visual Studio project files
* Generate XCode project files
* Much faster builds on Windows (on-par with Linux)
* Seriously fast configure and building on embedded
... and many more. For more details see:

Building with Meson should work on both Linux and Windows, but may
need a few more tweaks on other operating systems.
If the input buffer is after the end of the output buffer, then waiting
for more data won't help. We will never get an input buffer for this point.
This fixes compositing of streams from rtspsrc.

We weren't using the result of find_best_format at all.
Also, move the find_best_format usage to the default update_caps() to make
sure that it is also overridable.

When caps are already negotiated it should be possible to
select formats other than the one that was negotiated. If downstream
allows alpha video caps and it has already negotiated to a non-alpha
format, caps queries should still return the alpha caps as a possible
format as caps renegotiation can happen.
Includes tests (for compositor) to check that caps queries done after
a caps has been negotiated returns complete results

Allows the subclass to completely override the chosen src caps.
This is needed as videoaggregator generally has no idea exactly
what operation is being performed.
- Adds a fixate_caps vfunc for fixation
- Merges gst_video_aggregator_update_converters() into
gst_videoaggregator_update_src_caps() as we need some of its info
for proper caps handling.
- Pass the downstream caps to the update_caps vfunc
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=756207
We have to queue buffers based on their running time, not based on
the segment position.
Also return running time from GstAggregator::get_next_time() instead of
a segment position, as required by the API.
Also only update the segment position after we pushed a buffer, otherwise
we're going to push down a segment event with the next position already.

Only accept alpha if downstream has alpha as well. It could
theoretically accept alpha unconditionally if blending is
properly implemented for handle it but at the moment this
is a missing feature.
Improves the caps query by also comparing with the template
caps to filter by what the subclass supports.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=754465
Instead of checking for the gstreamer-video-1.0 package is installed,
just assume it is since we already check for the -base dependency.
With this replace the GST_VIDEO_* variables in makefiles and directly
link with libgstvideo.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=753820
Before aggregator based elements always started at running time 0,
now it's possible to select the first input buffer running time or
explicitly set a start-time value.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=749966
The problem here was that after removing the formats and
all the things we could convert, we then intersected these
caps with the template caps.
Hence if a subclass offered permissive sink templates
(eg all the possible formats videoconvert handles), but only
one output format, then at negotiation time getcaps returned
caps with the format restricted to that format, even though
we do handle conversion.
