This adds gdb pretty printer for some GStreamer types.
For GstObject pointers the type and name is added, e.g.
"0x5555557e4110 [GstDecodeBin|decodebin0]".
For GstMiniObject pointers the object type is added, e.g.
"0x7fffe001fc50 [GstBuffer]".
For GstClockTime and GstClockTimeDiff the time is also printed in human
readable form, e.g. "150116219955 [+0:02:30.116219955]".
Fixes#320
Allows determining from downstream what the expected bitrate of a stream
may be which is useful in queue2 for setting time based limits when
upstream does not provide timing information.
Implement bitrate query handling in queue2
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-plugins-base/issues/60
If upstream is pushing buffers larger than our limits, only 1 buffer
is ever in the queue at a time. Once that single buffer has left the
queue, a 0% buffering message would be posted followed immediately by a
100% buffering message when the next buffer was inserted into the queue
a very short time later. As per the recommendations, This would result
in the application pausing for a short while causing the appearance of
a short stutter.
The first step of a solution involves not posting a buffering message if
there is still data waiting on the sink pad for insertion into the queue.
This successfully drops the 0% messages from being posted however a
message is still posted on each transition to 100% when the new buffer
arrives resulting in a string of 100% buffering messages. We silence
these by storing the last posted buffering percentage and only posting a
new message when it is different from or last posted message.
The post tracer hooks have a GstQuery argument which was truncated from
the trace. As the post hook is the one that contains the useful data,
this bug was hiding the important information from that trace.
By moving the functionality down to the testclock, the implementation
no longer needs to poll the waits, but rather wait properly for
them to be added.
The performance-hit here would be that by polling the test-clock
regularly, you would create contention on the testclock-lock, making code
using the testclock (gst_clock_id_wait) fighting for the lock.
A pointer to a hook in this list can easily not be unique, given both
the slice-allocator reusing memory, and the OS re-using freed blocks
in malloc.
By doing many repeated add and remove of probes, this becomes very easily
reproduced.
Instead use hook_id, which *is* unique for a added GHook.
This is based on g_clear_object(). Basically, you can use this instead
of using gst_mini_object_unref (which needs to be preceded by a NULL-check).
Also fixes#275
If a segment has stop == -1, then gst_segment_to_running_time()
would refuse to calculate a running time for negative rates,
but gst_segment_do_seek() allows this scenario and uses a
valid duration for calculations.
Make the 2 functions consistent by using any configured duration
to calculate a running time too in that case.

GST_TIME_FORMAT, GST_TIME_ARGS, GST_STIME_FORMAT, GST_STIME_ARGS
GST_PTR_FORMAT, GST_SEGMENT_FORMAT, GST_FOURCC_FORMAT and
GST_FOURCC_ARGS are format specifiers.
They can't be used outside of C and should be generated in the gir.

Since we use full signed running times, we no longer need to clamp
the buffer time.
This avoids having the position of single queues not advancing for
buffers that are out of segment and never waking up non-linked
streams (resulting in an apparent "deadlock").
If we ever get a GST_FLOW_EOS from downstream, we might retry
pushing new data. But if pushing that data doesn't return a
GstFlowReturn (such as pushing events), we would end up returning
the previous GstFlowReturn (i.e. EOS).
Not properly resetting it would cause cases where queue2 would
stop pushing on the first GstEvent stored (even if there is more
data contained within).
