Unlike ges_container_add, this lets you set the index and will check
that track selection did not fail. This is useful for time effects whose
addition would create an unsupported timeline configuration.
Also can use the clip add error in ges_timeline_add_clip to let the user
know when adding a clip to a layer that its in-point is set larger than
the max-duration of its core children.

The duration-limit is the maximum duration that can be set for the clip
given its current children and their properties. If a change in the
children properties causes this to drop below the current duration, it
is automatically capped by this limit.

The way a clip's track elements are added to tracks was re-handled. This
doesn't affect the normal usage of a simple audio-video timeline, where
the tracks are added before any clips, but usage for multi-track
timelines has improved. The main changes are:
+ We can now handle a track being selected for more than one track,
including a full copy of their children properties and bindings.
(Previously broken.)
+ When a clip is split, we copy the new elements directly into the same
track, avoiding select-tracks-for-object.
+ When a clip is grouped or ungrouped, we avoid moving the elements to
or from tracks.
+ Added API to allow users to copy the core elements of a clip directly
into a track, complementing select-tracks-for-object.
+ Enforced the rule that a clip can only contain one core child in a
track, and all the non-core children must be added to tracks that
already contains a core child. This extends the previous condition
that two sources from the same clip should not be added to the same
track.
+ Made ges_track_add_element check that the newly added track element
does not break the configuration rules of the timeline.
+ When adding a track to a timeline, we only use
select-tracks-for-object to check whether track elements should be
added to the new track, not existing ones.
+ When removing a track from a timeline, we empty it of all the track
elements that are controlled by a clip. Thus, we ensure that a clip
only contains elements that are in the tracks of the same timeline, or
no track. Similarly, when removing a clip from a timeline.
+ We can now avoid unsupported timeline configurations when a layer is
added to a timeline, and already contains clips.
+ We can now avoid unsupported timeline configurations when a track is
added to a timeline, and the timeline already contains clips.

APIs:
- ges_timeline_get_frame_time
- ges_timeline_get_frame_at
- ges_clip_asset_get_frame_time
- ges_clip_get_timeline_time_from_source_frame
Extracting ges_util_structure_get_clocktime to internal utilities adding
support for specifying timing values in frames with the special
f<frame-number> synthax.
Only allow elements that were created by ges_clip_create_track_elements
(or copied from such an element) to be added to a clip. This prevents
users from adding arbitrary elements to a clip.
As an exception, a user can add GESBaseEffects to clips whose class
supports it, i.e. to a GESSourceClip and a GESBaseEffectClip.
This change also introduces a distinction between the core elements of a
clip (created by ges_clip_create_track_elements) and non-core elements
(currently, only GESBaseEffects, for some classes). In particular,
GESBaseEffectClip will now distinguish between its core elements and
effects added by the user. This means that the core elements will always
have the lowest priority, and will not be listed as top effects. This is
desirable because it brings the behaviour of GESBaseEffectClip in line
with other clip types.
This is implemented on top of a Tree that represents the whole timeline.
SourceClips can not fully overlap anymore and the tests have been
updated to take that into account. Some new tests were added to verify
that behaviour in greater details
We need different export decorators for the different libs.
For now no actual change though, just rename before the release,
and add prelude headers to define the new decorator to GST_EXPORT.
With two exceptions:
* ges_clip_create_track_elements_func
* ges_uri_clip_set_uri
which were never declared in headers and should always have been static.
Keeping the old method to not break the API but removing it from the
documentation as users should use the new method (which is the exact
same with a better naming)
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=731248
This exact same method will be needed in GESGroup, so we should have the method
in the common parent class.
API:
- ges_clip_edit
+ ges_container_edit
+ GESContainer->edit vmethod
+ Fix tests (we still need a round of modernisation, making use of
assets where it makes sense)
There is no reason to use those method outside of GES, so remove them,
cleaning the API and making it easier for users.
Removed APIs:
-----------
* ges_clip_create_track_element
* ges_clip_create_track_elements
