Some NLE tests were calling ges_init() from the test suite
initialization function. This was causing them to deadlock when running
with glib 2.76.3.
ges_init() causes a GThreadPool to be initialized. Even if GES at this
point doesn't request any thread to be created, since glib 2.63.4+
(see 8aeca4fa64)
the first time a GThreadPool is initialized a "pool-spawner" thread is
created, which is later used by g_thread_pool_push().
The default behavior of the GStreamer check tests is to fork for every
test case. This is not safe if any thread has been created at this
point. In this particular case, GThreadPool preserves the state that
says a "pool-spawner" thread has been created, and will have access to
its mutex and condition variable, but their queues will have different
contents as the memory has been forked. In consequence, calls to
g_thread_pool_push() will deadlock.
The deadlock will not occur if running the tests with CK_FORK=no.
This patch modifies the affected tests to only call ges_init() from
inside the test cases, fixing the deadlock.

A significant portion of the NLE test suite was often timing out due to
the tests taking way longer than necessary because the sinks were
synchronizing to the clock, which is the default behavior for
fakevideosink and fakeaudiosink.
Notable was the case of nleoperation.c:test_pyramid_operations, that ran
through a 10 second stream twice. As the default timeout is 20 seconds,
this made the test flaky.

Allow a project to use gstreamer-full as a static library
and link to create a binary without dependencies.
Introduce the option 'gst-full-target-type' to
select the build type, dynamic(default) or static.
In gstreamer-full/static build configuration gstreamer (gst.c)
needs the symbol gst_init_static_plugins which is defined
in gstreamer-full.
All the tests and examples are linking with gstreamer but the
symbol gst_init_static_plugins is only defined in the gstreamer-full
library. gstreamer-full can not be built first as it needs to know what plugins
will be built.
One option would be to build all the examples and tests after
gstreamer-full as the tools.
Disable tools build in subprojects too as it will be built at the end of
build process.

Allowing better control over the way discovery happens and allowing
us to expose a proper API.
This also adds the potential of implementing more multi-threaded
discovery in a clean way in the future.
This allows us to cleanly expose the new
GstDiscoverer::load-serialize-info signal.

When constructing an output profile using --profile-from, it is useful
to be able to override the top level container profile.
Expose a --container-profile option that applies as an override after
other methods for constructing an output profile have run. If no other
method was used, this will result in an empty top level container.

When uridecodebin exposes pads for its streams, we immediately ghost
the relevant (selected) one and let composition send a seek as soon as a
buffer is probed.
This means that sometimes uridecodebin is still linking elements
internally (for non-selected streams) and sees flush events travel down
the elements it is still busy trying to link / forward sticky events to.
This causes all sorts of nasty issues, which can be avoided by simply
blocking all data flow from the source until no-more-pads has been
emitted by uridecodebin (or whatever sub_element is wrapped).

This most likely never caused any issues as we don't connect to
no-more-pads in the first place, and the element isn't directly exposed
to the user, but emitting it makes no sense, and we are actually going
to connect to no-more-pads in a subsequent commit.
The call was added in 86b893e54c, a patch
by me in 2013, I have no idea why but I probably didn't have a firm
grasp on what I was doing then.

The gst-devtools project generates gstreamer-validate-1.0.pc, this
must match the dependency in gst-editing-services for detection
to work properly.
Fixes:
Run-time dependency gst-validate-1.0 found: NO (tried pkgconfig and cmake)

As the path to the gir file is passed to hotdoc.generate_doc() and
not the build target itself, meson doesn't know about the dependency.
In turn, as the CI doesn't build everything before building the
documentation target, some gir files might not exist, for instance
in the case of gst-rtsp-server, causing the output documentation to
be empty.
The error occurred silently because hotdoc accepts wildcards for
*-sources arguments, thus it won't warn about a missing gir file as
it is legitimate for glob matching to resolve to nothing.

There are cases where user might want to be in full control of the
timeline and not be limited by the checks that are being done by GES
to go from one timeline layout to another, this should be doable as
it is a valid use case.
