Before aggregator based elements always started at running time 0,
now it's possible to select the first input buffer running time or
explicitly set a start-time value.

This is used to proxy GstControlBinding to the pad on the
parent object. This avoid having to sync the values in the proxy pad,
this is too early if you have a queue between the pad and the actual
aggregation operation.

The problem here was that after removing the formats and
all the things we could convert, we then intersected these
caps with the template caps.
Hence if a subclass offered permissive sink templates
(eg all the possible formats videoconvert handles), but only
one output format, then at negotiation time getcaps returned
caps with the format restricted to that format, even though
we do handle conversion.

When the 'ignore-eos' property is set on a pad, compositor will keep resending
the last buffer on the pad till the pad is unlinked. We count the buffers
received on appsink, and if it's more than the buffers sent by videotestsrc, the
test passes.
When set, it causes videoaggregator to repeatedly aggregate the last buffer on
an EOS pad instead of skipping it and outputting silence. This is useful, for
instance, while playing back files seamless one after the other, to avoid
videoaggregator ever outputting silence (the checkerboard pattern).
It is to be noted that if all the pads on videoaggregator have this property set
on them, the mixer will never forward EOS downstream for obvious reasons. Hence,
at least one pad with 'ignore-eos' set to FALSE must send EOS to the mixer
before it will be forwarded downstream.

Add preserve_update_caps_result boolean on the class to allow
sub-classes to disable videoaggregator removing sizes and framerate
from the update_caps() return result.
A return value of GST_FLOW_OK with a NULL buffer from get_output_buffer()
means the sub-class doesn't want to produce an output buffer, so
skip it.
If gst_videoaggregator_do_aggregate() generates an error, make sure
to propagate it - don't just ignore and discard the error by
over-writing it with the gst_pad_push() result.
Rather than one of the input pad video info's.
The test checking this was not constraining the output frame size
to ensure that the out of frame stream was not being displayed.
Without this, we will fixate weird pixel-aspect-ratios like 1/2147483647. But
in the end, all the negotiation code in videoaggregator needs a big cleanup
and videoaggregator needs to get rid of the software-mixer specific things
everywhere.
We verify that all the buffers on an obscured sinkpad are skipped by overriding
the map() function in the GstVideoMeta of the buffers to set a variable when
called. We also test that the buffers do get mapped when they're not obscured.
Blame^WCredit for the GstVideoMeta map() idea goes to Tim.

It's a waste of resources to map it if it won't be converted
or used at all. Since we moved the frame mapping down, we need
to use the GST_VIDEO_INFO accessor macros now in the code above
that instead of the GST_VIDEO_FRAME accessor macros.

For each frame, compare the frame boundaries, check if the format contains an
alpha channel, check opacity, and skip the frame if it's going to be completely
overwritten by a higher zorder frame. The check is O(n^2), but that doesn't
matter here because the number of sinkpads is small.
More can be done to avoid needless drawing, but this covers the majority of
cases. See TODOs. Ideally, a reverse painter's algorithm should be used for
optimal drawing, but memcpy during compositing is small compared to the CPU used
for frame conversion on each pad.
