One of the nice feature in GTK doc is that it generate indexes
of added APIs base on the since marker. Include that in our doc
while fixing the issue of duplicate ID (produce xml contains that
id it seems)

Provide the memory implementation the GstMapInfo that will be used to
map/unmap the memory. This allows the memory implementation to use
some scratch space in GstMapInfo to e.g. track different map/unmap
behaviour or store extra implementation defined data about the map
in use.

This overrides the default latency handling and configures the specified
latency instead of the minimum latency that was returned from the LATENCY
query.

This uses all of the netclientclock code, except for the generation and
parsing of packets. Unfortunately some code duplication was necessary
because GstNetTimePacket is public API and couldn't be extended easily
to support NTPv4 packets without breaking API/ABI.
GstPtpClock implements a PTP (IEEE1588:2008) ordinary clock in
slave-only mode, that allows a GStreamer pipeline to synchronize
to a PTP network clock in some specific domain.
The PTP subsystem can be initialized with gst_ptp_init(), which then
starts a helper process to do the actual communication via the PTP
ports. This is required as PTP listens on ports < 1024 and thus
requires special privileges. Once this helper process is started, the
main process will synchronize to all PTP domains that are detected on
the selected interfaces.
gst_ptp_clock_new() then allows to create a GstClock that provides the
PTP time from a master clock inside a specific PTP domain. This clock
will only return valid timestamps once the timestamps in the PTP domain
are known. To check this, the GstPtpClock::internal-clock property and
the related notify::clock signal can be used. Once the internal clock
is not NULL, the PTP domain's time is known. Alternatively you can wait
for this with gst_ptp_clock_wait_ready().
To gather statistics about the PTP clock synchronization,
gst_ptp_statistics_callback_add() can be used. This gives the
application the possibility to collect all kinds of statistics
from the clock synchronization.

gst_clock_wait_for_sync(), gst_clock_is_synced() and gst_clock_set_synced()
plus a signal to asynchronously wait for the clock to be synced.
This can be used by clocks to signal that they need initial synchronization
before they can report any time, and that this synchronization can also get
completely lost at some point. Network clocks, like the GStreamer
netclientclock, NTP or PTP clocks are examples for clocks where this is useful
to have as they can't report any time at all before they're synced.

GstFlagSet is a new type designed for negotiating sets
of boolean capabilities flags, consisting of a 32-bit
flags bitfield and 32-bit mask field. The mask field
indicates which of the flags bits an element needs to have
as specific values, and which it doesn't care about.
This allows efficient negotiation of arrays of boolean
capabilities.
The standard serialisation format is FLAGS:MASK, with
flags and mask fields expressed in hexadecimal, however
GstFlagSet has a gst_register_flagset() function, which
associates a new GstFlagSet derived type with an existing
GFlags gtype. When serializing a GstFlagSet with an
associated set of GFlags, it also serializes a human-readable
form of the flags for easier debugging.
It is possible to parse a GFlags style serialisation of a
flagset, without the hex portion on the front. ie,
+flag1/flag2/flag3+flag4, to indicate that
flag1 & flag4 must be set, and flag2/flag3 must be unset,
and any other flags are don't-care.

The old gst_object_has_ancestor will call the new code. This establishes the
symetry with the new gst_object_has_as_parent.

In order to support some types of protected streams (such as those
protected using DASH Common Encryption) some per-buffer information
needs to be passed between elements.
This commit adds a GstMeta type called GstProtectionMeta that allows
protection specific information to be added to a GstBuffer. An example
of its usage is qtdemux providing information to each output sample
that enables a downstream element to decrypt it.
This commit adds a utility function to select a supported protection
system from the installed Decryption elements found in the registry.
The gst_protection_select_system function that takes an array of
identifiers and searches the registry for a element of klass Decryptor that
supports one or more of the supplied identifiers. If multiple elements
are found, the one with the highest rank is selected.
This commit adds a unit test for the gst_protection_select_system
function that adds a fake Decryptor element to the registry and then
checks that it can correctly be selected by the utility function.
This commit adds a unit test for GstProtectionMeta that creates
GstProtectionMeta and adds & removes it from a buffer and performs some
simple reference count checks.

1) segment.accum -> segment.base
2) Refer to GstSegment members as S.foo instead of
NS.foo, the event is now called a segment event
rather than newsegment event.
3) There's no more abs_rate field in GstSegment,
and there never was an abs_applied_rate field.

Also skip gst_pipeline_get_clock() and gst_pipeline_set_clock() from the
bindings as they are confused with gst_element_*_clock().

GstNetAddress can be used to store ancillary data which was received with
or is to be sent alongside the buffer data. When used with socket sinks
and sources which understand this meta it allows sending and receiving
ancillary data such as unix credentials (See `GUnixCredentialsMessage`)
and Unix file descriptions (See `GUnixFDMessage`).
This will be useful for implementing protocols which use file-descriptor
passing in payloaders/depayloaders without having to re-implement all the
socket handling code already present in elements such as multisocketsink,
etc. This, in turn, will be useful for implementing zero-copy video IPC.
This meta uses the platform independent `GSocketControlMessage` API
provided by GLib as a part of GIO. As a result this new meta does not
require any new dependencies or any conditional compliation for
portablility, although it is unlikely to do anything useful on non-UNIX
platforms.
gst_bin_sync_children_states() will iterate over all the elements of a bin and
sync their states with the state of the bin. This is useful when adding many
elements to a bin and would otherwise have to call
gst_element_sync_state_with_parent() on each and every one of them.

These docs missed many details that were not obvious and because of that
handled in a few different, incompatible ways in different elements and base
classes.

TRUE is 1, but every other non-zero value is also considered true. Comparing
for equality with TRUE would only consider 1 but not the others.
Also normalize booleans in a few places.
