Typing hints can only be passed to gst_value_deserialize()
through the type of the passed-in value. This means deserialization
can only target the desired type for the top-level elements,
making it for example impossible to deserialize an array of
flags to the expected type.
This commit exposes a new function, gst_value_deserialize_full(),
that takes an optional pspec as the extra parameter, and updates
the deserialization code to pass around that pspec, or the
element_spec when recursively parsing the elements of a list-type
value.
This allows for example passing arrays of flags through the
command line or gst_util_set_object_arg, eg:
foo="<bar,bar+baz>"

To allow the refcounting tracer to work better. In childproxy/iterator
these might be plain GObjects but gst_object_unref() also works on them.
In other places where it is never GstObject, g_object_unref() is kept.
After release bison 2.5 the declaration %pure-parser was deprecated
in favor of %define api.pure
Nonetheless, until bison 3.4, the declaration was treated as backward
compatibility, but now bison shows a warning:
warning: deprecated directive, use ‘%define api.pure’
The patch's approach is to handle both directives according with the
used bison's version, by string replacement at source configuration
stage.
