bbca6b1ddf meta: expose API to register and create custom meta
Custom meta is backed by a GstStructure, and does not require
that users of the API expose their GstMeta implementation as
public API for other components to make use of it.

In addition, it provides a simpler interface by ignoring the
impl vs. api distinction that the regular API exposes.

This new API is meant to be the meta counterpart to custom events
and messages, and to be more convenient than the lower-level API
when the absolute best performance isn't a requirement.

5dc149f4f2 gstbuffer: store meta in add order
The previous implementation of add was implemented as a prepend,
switch to append as that seems like the expected order.

f62ee97592 buffer: store sequence number for metas
For metas where order might be significant if multiple metas are
attached to the same buffer, so store a sequence number with the
meta when adding it to the buffer. This allows users of the meta
to make sure metas are processed in the right order.

We need a 64-bit integer for the sequence number here in the API,
a 32-bit one might overflow too easily with high packet/buffer
rates. We could do it rtp-seqnum style of course, but that's a
bit of a pain.

We could also make it so that gst_buffer_add_meta() just keeps metas in
order or rely on the order we add the metas in, but that seems too
fragile overall, when buffers (incl. metas) get merged or split.

Also add a compare function for easier sorting.

We store the seqnum in the MetaItem struct here and not in the
GstMeta struct since there's no padding in the GstMeta struct.
We could add a private struct to GstMeta before the start of
GstMeta, but that's what MetaItem effectively is implementation-
wise. We can still change this later if we want, since it's all
private.

Fixes #262

febfabb39f misc: Fix various compiler warnings on MinGW
gstharness.c: Use G_GSIZE_FORMAT instead of hard-coding %zu
error: unknown conversion type character 'z' in format [-Werror=format]

gst-inspect.c: GPid is void* on non-UNIX, and we only use it on UNIX
error: initialization makes pointer from integer without a cast [-Werror]

gstmeta.c: Use and then discard value
error: value computed is not used [-Werror=unused-value]

With this, gstreamer builds with -Werror on MinGW

ec5e781e6b buffer: Add more exhaustive test for gst_buffer_foreach_meta() meta removal
Existing test for iterating/removing buffer meta data was insufficient
to detect linked list corruption when removing multiple items, and could
also suffer from such corruption in attempting to count remaining items.
Modified the one test and added several others to exercise multiple
scenarios.

Validates fix for issue #332.

e838007d09 gstbuffer: fix meta removal in gst_buffer_foreach_meta
When updating the linked list, prev->next = next is correct
if prev is actually updated after being set to the head
of the list at the start.

e80296cf46 meta: split registration of API and implementation
Split out the registration of the metadata API and its implementation. Make a
GType for each metadata API. This allows us to store extra information with the
API type such as the tags.
Change the buffer API so that we can get the metadata using the API GType.
Change the query API so that we use the metadata API GType in the allocation
query instead of a string.
Update netaddress and unit tests
