Expose the GstAllocation structure and provide an _init function. This makes it
easier to make 'subclasses' of the allocator that contain more info.
It also allows us to expose the flags on the allocator miniobject.
Make a flag to note that the allocator uses a custom alloc function.
Make it possible to add API specific flags to the ALLOCATION query. This makes
it possible to also check what kinds of subfeatures of the metadata API are
supported.
Add a method that memory implementations can call to initialize the standard
GstMemory structure.
Move the parent handling in the _free handler.
Rearrange some internal function parameters so that the order is consistent.
Add more memory examples
Move the locking methods from GstMemory to GstMiniObject.
Add a miniobject flag to enable LOCKABLE objects. LOCKABLE objects can
use the lock/unlock API to control the access to the object.
Add a minobject flag that allows you to lock an object in readonly mode.
Modify the _is_writable() method to check the shared counter for LOCKABLE
objects. This allows us to control writability separately from the refcount for
LOCKABLE objects.
The NO_SHARE flag does not influence the exclusiveness of the buffer initially
but only if a _share operation can be done. Otherwise, we would not be able to
WRITE map a buffer memory because it would have a share count of at least 2.
We implement the locking in gst_memory_map with the lock flags, make matching
flags the same number so that we can use the map flags directly as lock flags.
Expose the internally used methods for locking and unlocking the object. Pass
the access mode to the unlock function for extra checks and because we need it
for the EXCLUSIVE locks.
Make some new defines to specify the desired locking.
Add a new EXCLUSIVE lock mode which will increment the shared counter. Objects
with a shared counter > 1 will not be lockable in WRITE mode.
Improve parallel installability in setups like jhbuild by
providing versioned variants of some environment variables:
GST_REGISTRY_1_0
GST_PLUGIN_PATH_1_0
GST_PLUGIN_SYSTEM_PATH_1_0
GST_PLUGIN_SCANNER_1_0
will now be checked before checking the unversioned ones.

We added a minimum length of three letters originally so we would
fail to recognise DOS/Windows-style filenames as valid URIs (as we
should). Two should be just fine as well.
