This sets back the default to trace only pipeline latency, and add flags
to enabled element tracing. It is now possible to only trace element
latency, only trace pipeline latency, trace both or none.
This removes the passing of pad inside of a GstEvent. While this is not
a bug, it may affect the live time of the pad, hense change the pipeline
behaviour.
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.
Include the timestamp of the recorded log as in the 'stats' tracer.
This can be useful, for example, to plot a graph showing the latency
over time.

The goal of this tracer is to measure the processing latency between a
src and a sink. In push mode, the time was read after the chain function
have returned. As the amount of time we wait to get synched is reverse
to the amount of latency the source introduced, the result was quite
surprising.
This patch moves the latency calculation in the pre-push hook. When
there is no processing in a a pipeline (e.g. fakesrc ! fakesink), the
latency will now be 0 as it's supposed to. For pull mode, the code was
already correct. When GstBaseSink operate in pull mode, the processing
time is done durring the pull, so pull-post is the right hook. The
synchronization will happen after the pull has ended. Note that
GstBaseSink rarely operate in pull mode.

This is what Autoconf already does for us, so just do this. Avoids
people making typos while adding header or function checks. Because we
use a config.h.meson, such typos won't even be noticed.
Also, starting from Meson 0.36.0, the XCode 8 workaround that we use for
clock_gettime is no longer needed.
This is an API break but that API has not been released yet.
We are passing a flag rather than a simple boolean as we can imagine
to implement more features in the future for example to retrieve a
stack trace for all the threads, etc..
Retrieving source file and line numbers is pretty
expensive while getting a stack trace, this new argument
allows the user to decide to retrieve a backtrace
without those infos instead which is much faster.
For example running $ GST_LEAKS_TRACER_STACK_TRACE=1 GST_DEBUG=GST_TRACER:7 \
GST_TRACERS=leaks time gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc num-buffers=1 ! fakesink:
* With simple stack traces:
0.04s user 0.02s system 99% cpu 0.060 total
* With full stack traces:
0.66s user 0.23s system 96% cpu 0.926 total

- we know number of filter items is not going to change,
but compiler doesn't
- only do GST_IS_TRACER check for GObjects, not mini objects
- use non-type check cast macros in performance critical paths
Change the gst_tracer_record_new() api to take the parameters the make the
spec structure directly. This allows us to own the top-level structure and
also collect the args so that we can take ownership of the sub-structures.
