A420 is a four planar format similar to I420 but with an extra buffer
for alpha values.
A common use of the gl stack is for GPU format conversions using
shaders, in which case one can use glupload, glcolorconvert and
gldownload elements to upload their buffer to the GPU context, perform
the conversion on the GPU itself and then retrieve the data to CPU
context.
A420 was not supported. This patch adds said support mainly by adding
the corresponding shader to perform the conversion and updating the
supported caps.
Both A420->RGBA and RGBA->A420 conversions are supported.

Improves throughput of the total convert and blend process and allows
for higher performance across slightly more threads.
Also make use of video aggregator's task pool for blending as well in
order to reduce the number of threads.

These work the same way as the corresponding properties on queue and
allow to control the internal buffer size of the appsrc in a more
flexible way.
Unlike in queue the max-buffers and max-time properties are 0 (i.e.
disabled) by default for backwards compatibility reasons.

Add a way for applications to specify that the underlying file is
growing which implies that the source won't EOS when reaching the end
of the file but instead start monitoring it and start reading it again
whenever a change is detected.
Also add a validate test to check the behavior

When that property is left to its default, the width and height
property considers frames from input pads with width or height <= 0
should be left unscaled in that dimension.
Setting this property to FALSE changes that behaviour to < 0, as when
animating these properties, 0 should be a valid end value (eg. shrinking
an input stream until it disappears).
The default value of the width and height properties is set to -1, so that
the default behaviour stays consistent whether that new property is set
or not.

In the case `videoaggregator` is set as allowing format conversions,
and as we convert only on the sinkpads, we should ensure that the
chosen format is usable by the subclass. This in turns implies
that the format is usable on the srcpad.
When doing conversion *any* format can be used on the sinkpads, and this
is the only way that we can avoid race conditions during renegotiations
so we can not change that fact, we just need to ensure that the chosen
intermediary format is usable, which was not actually ensured before
that patch.

Add property "handle-segment-change" for user to allow pushing
custom segment event. For now, this property can work only for
time format GstSegment.
This property can be useful in case application controls timeline
of stream such as there is timestamp discontinuity but playback is
expected to be continuous. Multi-period scenario of MPEG-DASH is an
example of this use case.

To document it, we instantiate a subclass and inspect the properties
on the created object. Subclasses (in that case textrender) may
initialize those properties with a different default, we do not
want to expose that in the base class documentation.
