API: GST_BUFFER_DTS_OR_PTS
Many scenarios/elements require dealing with streams of buffers that
might have DTS set (i.e. encoded data, potentially reordered)
To simplify getting the increasing "timestamp" of those buffers, create
a macro that will return the DTS if valid, and if not the PTS
Updated gst_segment_position_from_stream_time and gst_segment_to_stream_time to reflect correct calculations for the case when the applied rate is negative.
Pasting from design docs:
===============================
Stream time is calculated using the buffer times and the preceding SEGMENT
event as follows:
stream_time = (B.timestamp - S.start) * ABS (S.applied_rate) + S.time
For negative rates, B.timestamp will go backwards from S.stop to S.start,
making the stream time go backwards.
===============================
Therefore, the calculation for applied_rate < 0 should be:
stream_time = (S.stop - B.timestamp) * ABS (S.applied_rate) + S.time
and the reverse:
B.timestamp = S.stop - (stream_time - S.time) / ABS (S.applied_rate)

An ASYNC READY->PAUSED might have failed without the bin code noticing during
the state change, in which case we will never get PAUSED->READY and would leak
messages.

This way one can define new tracing probes without changing the core. We are
using our own quark table, as 1) we only want to initialize them if we're
tracing, 2) we want to share them with the tracers.
Instead of a single invoke() function and a 'mask', register to individual
hooks. This avoids one level of indirection and allows us to remove the
hook enums. The message enms are now renamed to hook enums.
This way we only expand the structure when we're logging. This allows us to
meassure the pure tracing seperately from the logging.
Also add some comments on further improvements.
Keep tracer base class in tracer and move core support into the utils module.
Add a unstable-api guard to the tracer.h so that external modules would need to
acknowledge the status by setting GST_USE_UNSTABLE_API.
When adding an element to a bin we need to propagate the GstContext's
to/from the element.
This moves the GstContext list from GstBin to GstElement and adds
convenience functions to get the currently set list of GstContext's.
This does not deal with the collection of GstContext's propagated
using GST_CONTEXT_QUERY. Element subclasses are advised to call
gst_element_set_context if they need to propagate GstContext's
received from the context query.

A proxy-pad should always proxy the caps related queries
and events to its down or upstream peers on the other side
of the element. Falling back to a caps query seems wrong.

gst_segment_to_position might cause confusion, especially with the addition of
gst_segment_position_from_stream_time . Deprecated gst_segment_to_position
now, and replaced it with gst_segment_position_from_running_time.
Also added unit tests.
