Instead do everything it did as part of GObject::constructed() and
change the function to always return TRUE.
gst_ghost_pad_construct() was meant to be called by subclasses right
after construction of the object to finish construction as it can fail
in theory. In practice it's impossible for it to fail, even more so if
called directly from GObject::constructed(): The only failure condition
is if the newly created proxy pad already has a parent, which is
impossible at this point as nothing else can have a reference to it.

Since glib 2.64, gthreadpool will start waiting on a GCond immediately upon
creation. This can cause issues if we fork *before* actually using the
threadpool since we will then be signalling that GCond ... from another process
and that will never work.
Instead, delay creationg of thread pools until the very first time we need
them. This introduces a minor (un-noticeable) delay when needing a new thread
but fixes the issues for all users of GSTreamer that will call gst_init, then
fork and actually start pipelines.
See https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/issues/2131 for more context.

The signal handlers were performing mutex operations in the signal handlers
which is bad idea that may lead to deadlocks.
1. Implement a separate signal thread to handle the signals.
2. Use the glib provided signal GSource to avoid performing operations in
the signal handler.

When compiling for 32bit ios arm, the static assert that the
GstClockEntryImpl smaller or equal to the struct _GstClockEntryImpl
triggered. (they were 12bytes off).
To fix this, the padding is increased by 12 bytes (on 32bit).

These can be passed to gst_type_mark_as_plugin_api, to inform
plugin cache generation.
For now a single flag is specified, "IGNORE_ENUM_MEMBERS", it
can be used for dynamically generated enums to avoid documenting
environment-specific enumeration members. An example is
GstX265EncTune.
Since those are using the clock for sync, they need to also
provide a clock for good measure. The reason is that even if
downstream elements provide a clock, we don't want to have
that clock selected because it might not be running yet.

When we want to perform a downstream bitrate query, just
set the reconfigure flag on the srcpad and get the streaming
thread to do it. That avoids emitting a downstream query
when receiving the upstream RECONFIGURE event - which can
lead to deadlocks if downstream is sending the event from
within a lock - e.g. input-selector.
If querying the downstream bitrate changes the cached
value, then make sure to update our buffering state
and potentially post a BUFFERING message to the application.

The deadlock was the following:
* One thread requests a new pad, the internal lock is kept while adding the pad
* Another thread (or the same one) requests the internal links of a pad (could
be that pad)... which also requires that lock.
That internal lock is not required when adding the pad to the element (which is
the last action when requesting a new pad). The fact it will be actually used
will be *after* the request pad function is released.

This can be used to mark additional types exposed by plugins (i.e.
enums, flags and GObjects) via properties, signals or pad templates as
plugin API. They can then be picked up by the documentation for the
plugin.
Not all types exposed by plugins are documented automatically because
they might come from an external library and should be documented from
there instead.
When posting a buffering message succesfully:
* Remember the *actual* percentage value that was posted
* Make sure we only reset the percent_changed variable if the value we just
posted is indeed different from the current value
