The type is called GstVideoTransferFunction so the function names should
match, otherwise gobject-introspection is keeping the functions as
global functions instead of methods on the type.
The same mistake was also made in lots of other APIs over the years, but
here we can at least fix it for 1.18 still.
Thanks to Marijn Suijten for noticing.

For example, BT709, BT601, and BT2020_10 all have theoretically
different transfer functions, but the same function in practice. In
these cases, we should use the fast path for negotiating. Also,
BT2020_12 is essentially the same as the other three, just with one more
decimal point, so it gives the same result for fewer bits. This is now
also aliased to the former three.
Also make videoconvert do passthrough if the caps have equivalent
transfer functions but are otherwise matching.
As of the previous commit, we write the correct transfer function for
BT601, instead of the (functionally identical but different ISO code)
transfer function for BT709. Files created using GStreamer prior to that
commit write the wrong transfer function for BT601 and are, strictly
speaking, 2:4:5:4 instead. However, this commit takes care of
negotiation, so that conversions from/to the same transfer function are
done using the fast path.

To passthrough crop-meta, the converter would need to allocate and
convert buffers of the size of the originating buffer. This is currently
made difficult by GstBaseTransform since we cannot alter the caps passed
though the allocation query. We would also need to wait for the first
input buffer to be received in order to make the decision around that
size.
So the short and safe solution is just to stop pretending we can
passthrought that meta.

This adds a property to select the maximum number of threads to use for
conversion and scaling. During processing, each plane is split into
an equal number of consecutive lines that are then processed by each
thread.
During tests, this gave up to 1.8x speedup with 2 threads and up to 3.2x
speedup with 4 threads when converting e.g. 1080p to 4k in v210.

libgstreamer currently exports some debug category
symbols GST_CAT_*, but those are not declared in any
public headers.
Some plugins and libgstvideo just use GST_DEBUG_CATEGORY_EXTERN()
to declare and use those, but that's just not right at
all, and it won't work on Windows with MSVC. Instead look
up the categories via the API.
Move the conversion code used in videoconvert to the video library
and expose a simple but generic API to do arbitrary conversion. It can
currently do colorspace conversion but the plan is to add videoscale to
it as well.
See https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=732415
Make a little table of conversions and manually score them. Use this
info to define better weights for the scoring algorithm.
give separate scores for doing changes and the impact of the change,
This allows us to avoid conversion when we can but still allow fairly
lossless changes.
The old code did not penalize GRAY conversions, PAL conversions were
punished too low and depth conversions too high.

Try to select the conversion that would result in the minimal amount of quality
loss. Quality loss is calculated rather arbitrarily but it avoids doing
something really stupid in most cases.
This reverts commit adc9694ed7.
No need to restrict the conversion, we can handle interlace correctly. We
basically unpack each field, then convert each field to the target colorspace
and pack and interleave each field to the target format. We also disable any
fast path that can't deal with interlaced formats.
RGB8_PALETTED -> RGB8P
Fix the definition of paletted formats, store the palette in the second
plane.
Make sure we copy the palette correctly in gst_video_frame_copy()
Don't do alignment on the palette in videopool
