An object that can be waited on and asked for asynchronous values.
In much the same way as promise/futures in js/java/etc
A callback can be installed for when the promise changes state.

There were a few errors:
* The plugin scanner now accepts executable path as an argument.
In case it is NULL, argc == 2
* We find the executable path in init_pre instead of gst_init,
allowing this to work when gst is initialized through the
option group (eg gst-inspect)
* There was a semi-colon missing in the __APPLE__ #ifdef
When a plugin declares a dependency using this flag, all the
relative paths are considered to be relative to the path of
the main executable.
We try to determine the path of the executable portably,
with implementations provided for Linux, Windows and Mac.
If retrieval of the path fails, we will not detect changes.
In order for the main executable path to be the same when
scanning a plugin in a child process, a new variable is
exposed in gst_private.h, _gst_executable_path

It is possible to use gst_deinit() without registering the base
classes. For example, when using gst_init_get_option_group() and
call the program with an invalid parameter. In that case,
gst_deinit() will lead to a segmentation fault, since there is a
dereference to a pointer that is null.
This patch validates if the type is non-null before dereferencing
it.

A lot of debug categories are declared in element class_init
functions, which don't get run until the element is first created
(not just registered in the plugin load function). This means
that --gst-debug-help doesn't print out a lot of categories.
Creating an instance of each element from the element factory
makes them visible, at some extra cost - 2-3 times longer, which can
be a full second or two of extra waiting. Yikes!

It's used by the debugging and tracer subsystem and in various files, make it
a central thing that is initialized independ of the existence of those
subsystems.
DllMain should not be relied on for anything except storing the DLL handle.
It should also not be defined for static builds, but doing so is not
straightforward and is mostly harmless, so let's just add a comment about that
for now.
Do not do any checks for the start/stop in the new
gst_segment_to_running_time_full() method, we can let this be done by
the more capable gst_segment_clip() method. This allows us to remove the
enum of results and only return the sign of the calculated running-time.
We need to put the old clipping checks in the old
gst_segment_to_running_time() still because they work slightly
differently than the _clip methods.
See https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=740575
The GST_INFO ("initialized GStreamer succesfully") is currently at the end of
gst_init_check which isn't guaranteed to be run since GStreamer can be
initialized by using init_pre and init_post directly from GOptionContext like
gst-launch does. Ensure this message is displayed by moving it to init_post.
They are very confusing for people, and more often than not
also just not very accurate. Seeing 'last reviewed: 2005' in
your docs is not very confidence-inspiring. Let's just remove
those comments.
Use the technique that is now done in GTK+ so that the plugins do not have
to be installed in c:\gstreamer\lib\<debug>\gstreamer-$(GSTApiVersion),
but can be installed in
<parent_folder_of_gstreamer_main_dll>\lib\<debug>\gstreamer-$(GSTApiVersion),
or as per g_win32_get_package_installation_directory_of_module() allows.

* fix typo GstBufferFlag -> GstBufferFlags
* fix typo GstFeatures -> GstCapsFeatures
* fix typo GstAllocatorParams -> GstAllocationParams
* fix typo GstContrlSources -> GstControlSource
* do not refer to gstcheck as an object
* make references gtk_init() and tcase_set_timeout() not be references
* gst_element_get_pad() renamed gst_element_get_static_pad()
* gst_clock_id_wait_async_full() renamed gst_clock_id_wait_async()
* _drop_element() is really gst_queue_array_drop_element()
* gst_pad_accept_caps() was removed, do not refer to it
* separate GST_META_TAG_MEMORY_STR declaration from description
* do not describe removed gst_collect_pads_collect()
* correctly link to GstElementClass' virtual set_context()

Since the default number of max unused threads in GThreadPool has been
changed from 0 to 2 it needs to be set to 0 to stop all threads or
valgrind will report them as memory leaks.
