Define a 0 and -1 step amount. They used to almost do the same thing but now, 0
cancels/stops the current step and -1 keeps on stepping until the end of the
segment.

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.
Make GstSeekFlag to GstSegmentFlag conversion explicit, and
set only those seek flags in the segment flags which are
mapped. This makes sure we don't have extraneous flags
littering our segment flag field, which also fixes the
debug printing/serialisation of segment events in the
debug log.
They can be used to select snapping behavior (to previous, next, or
nearest location, where relevant) when seeking.
The seeking implementation (eg, demuxer) may currently ignore some
or all of these flags.
gst_buffer_take_memory -> gst_buffer_insert_memory because insert is what the
method does.
Make all methods deal with ranges so that we can replace, merge, remove and map
a certain subset of the memory in a buffer. With the new methods we can make
some code nicer and reuse more code. Being able to deal with a subset of the
buffer memory allows us to optimize more cases later (most notably RTP headers
and payload that could be in different memory objects).
Make some more convenient macros that call the more generic range methods.
Count how many mappings are currently active and also with what access pattern.
Update the design doc with restrictions on the access patterns for nested
mappings.
Check if nested mappings obey the access mode restrictions of the design doc.
Add various unit tests to check the desired behaviour.
Better now than later in the cycle. These might come in handy:
sed -i -e 's/GstProbeReturn/GstPadProbeReturn/g' `git grep GstProbeReturn | sed -e 's/:.*//' | sort -u`
sed -i -e 's/GST_PROBE_/GST_PAD_PROBE_/g' `git grep GST_PROBE_ | sed -e 's/:.*//' | sort -u`
sed -i -e 's/GstProbeType/GstPadProbeType/g' `git grep GstProbeType | sed -e 's/:.*//' | sort -u`
Require the memory implementations to implement a share operation. This allows
us to remove the fallback share implementation which uses a different allocator
implementation and complicates things too much.
Update design doc a bit.
