Following the [design document] encodebin needs to handle sources that
output multiple streams, for that purpose and to make it simpler,
we ensure that a single segment is outputted to the encoders by using
an `identity single-segment=true` at the beginning of streams chains.
Added API to enable or disable the use of that new feature.
Added support for the encoding profile parser for that new property,
keeping backward compatibility

streamcombiner element forwards a upstream event only to one sinkpad.
When the streamcombiner is used with encodebin, the sinkpad
corresponding to pass-through path is configured before that of encoder,
and therefore streamcombiner forwards upstream events only to
the firstly configured one (i.e., pass-through path).
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.
With the way caps negotiation work in encoders, the only way to ensure
that no downstream renegotiation is done in the encoder is to also lock
upstream caps. Anyway with the current behavior upstream of encoders
*require* to handle any file format so locking upstream format should
be safe.

With both audiorate and videorate, it seems more sensible to apply rate
adjustments after the first buffer appears. For example, with v4l2src,
there is often a small delay before the first video buffer turns up, and
this can cause a stuttery start because of videorate trying to ensure a
perfect stream.
In some case we might have EncodingProfile that will be defined
in a way that, for example if a Preset is not present, another
profile for that stream should be used.
A test is added showing the feature.

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.
Allows to run such a command line :
gst-launch-1.0 uridecodebin uri=file:///home/meh/Music/sthg.mp4 ! \
encodebin profile-string="audio/x-wav|1" ! filesink location=sthg.wav
Previously the code failed because wavenc is considered as a muxer.
We still want encodebin to audio/x-wav as an AudioEncodingProfile,
so this simple fix allows that.
Ability to mux raw streams in containers such as matroskamux
is a different issue.

Summary:
So that the user can easily use the same encoding profile to render
with/without audio/video stream.
API:
gst_encoding_profile_is_disabled
gst_encoding_pofile_set_enabled
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=749056
In some cases, the user might want the stream outputted by encodebin to
be in the exact same format during all the stream. We should let the
user specify when this is the case. This commit add some API in the
GstEncodingProfile to determine whether the format can be renegotiated
after the encoding started or not.
API:
gst_encoding_profile_set_allow_dynamic_output
gst_encoding_profile_get_allow_dynamic_output
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=740214
Set up a fakesink with a pad probe to replace the missing encoder to detect
if encoding was really required and only error out in this case. Otherwise
just let passthrough branch work.
This delays the error posting from the set_state function to when buffers
are really flowing. Unit test updated accordingly
