By passing NULL to `g_signal_new` instead of a marshaller, GLib will
actually internally optimize the signal (if the marshaller is available
in GLib itself) by also setting the valist marshaller. This makes the
signal emission a bit more performant than the regular marshalling,
which still needs to box into `GValue` and call libffi in case of a
generic marshaller.
Note that for custom marshallers, one would use
`g_signal_set_va_marshaller()` with the valist marshaller instead.
`g_object_notify()` actually takes a global lock to look up the
`GParamSpec` that corresponds to the given property name. It's not a
huge performance hit, but it's easily avoidable by using the
`_by_pspec()` variant.
Instead of the object value, this should be used every time a random
value will be returned by g_object_get This is also useful to make the
values returned by inspecting element stable accross runs.
If a function takes a floating reference and sinks it, it should also do
that in error cases. I.e. call ref_sink() followed by unref().
Otherwise the reference counting behaviour of the function will be
different between the good and the error case, and simply inconsistent.

Can't use a #ifndef GST_DISABLE_DEPRECATED guard around deprecated
functions any more, as they won't get exported then. Besides, we
get a nicer error message from the compiler telling us what function
to use instead this way.
Updated the GST_REFCOUNTING logging so that it includes the pointer
address of the object that is being disposed or finalized.
With this change is is then possible to match up GST_REFCOUNTING log messages
for object allocation/disposal/finalization. This can help with diagnosing
"memory leaks" in applications that have not correctly disposed of all the
GStreamer objects it creates.

The old gst_object_has_ancestor will call the new code. This establishes the
symetry with the new gst_object_has_as_parent.
API: gst_object_has_as_ancestor()
Support for (nullable) was added to G-I at the same time as nullable
return values. Previous versions of G-I will not mark return values as
nullable, even when an (allow-none) annotation is present, so it is
not necessary to add (allow-none) annotations for compatibility with
older versions of G-I.

They are very confusing for people, and more often than not
also just not very accurate. Seeing 'last reviewed: 2005' in
your docs is not very confidence-inspiring. Let's just remove
those comments.
* add many missing declarations to sections
* GstController has been removed, update docs
* skip GstIndex when generating documentation
* rephrase so gtkdoc doesn't imagine return value
* add missing argument description for gst_context_new()
* document GstOutputSelectorPadNegotiationMode and move to header-file

These changes are to clean up syntax issues such as missing colons,
missing spaces, etc., and minor issues such as argument names in
headers not matching the implementation and/or documentation.
Rename the _get_value_array() functions to _get_g_value_array() and reintroduce
the former to operate on plain unboxed c datatypes (like in 0.10). The _g_value
variants are for bindings while the _value ones are more suited to processing
in elements.
