When we call gst_buffer_pool_set_config() the pool may return FALSE and
slightly change the parameters. This helper is useful to do the minial required
validation before accepting the modified configuration.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=727916
According to the documentation, when set_config() return false, it should be
possible to read the modified version of the config. This patch fixes the
implementation so it is now according to the documentation.

If a pool config is being configured again, check if the configuration have changed.
If not, skip that step. Finally, if the pool is active, try deactivating it.

They are very confusing for people, and more often than not
also just not very accurate. Seeing 'last reviewed: 2005' in
your docs is not very confidence-inspiring. Let's just remove
those comments.
Currently we set TAG_MEMORY as soon a resize changes the size of one
of the memory. This has the side effect that buffer pool cannot know if
the memory have simply been resized, or if the memorys has been replaced.
This make it hard to actually implement _reset(). Instead, only set the
TAG_MEMORY if one or more memory has been replaced, and do a light
sanity check of the size.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=727109
Tag allocated buffers with TAG_MEMORY. When they are released later,
only add them back to the pool if the tag is still there and the memory
has not been changed, otherwise throw the buffer away.
Add unit test to check various scenarios.

Keep an extra write ref on the control socket. This ensures that we
avoid a read/write on the socket when going from non-empty->empty->not-empty.
We remove the write ref only when we actually are empty and we need to
wait for flushing or a new buffer.
This makes the bufferpool benchmark about 30% faster than the pure
malloc implementation.
API: gst_value_array_append_and_take_value
API: gst_value_list_append_and_take_value
We were already using this internally, this makes it public for code
which frequently appends values which are expensive to copy (like
structures, arrays, caps, ...).
Avoids copies of the values for users. The passed GValue will also
be 0-memset'ed for re-use.
New users can replace this kind of code:
gst_value_*_append_value(mycontainer, &myvalue);
g_value_unset(&myvalue);
by:
gst_value_*_append_and_take_value(mycontainer, &myvalue);

When max_buffers > 0 and the pool is empty, actually try to allocate more
buffers up to the max_buffers limit.
We need to add a counter for this to count how many buffers we allocated and
check this against the max_buffers limit.
Reorganise and clean up some code.

Make GstAllocator a GstObject instead of a GstMiniObject, like bufferpool.
Make a new gstallocator.c file. Make a GstAllocator subclass for the default
allocator.
Reset the buffer not after we acquire but before we release into the pool. This
makes sure that the pool only has buffers in a clean state and that we can set
extra metadata on buffers in the acquire method. this means that we need to
remove an argument from the method.
Add a new LOCKED flag to the metadata. Refuse removing LOCKED metadata from
a buffer.
Mark the metadata from the bufferpool LOCKED.
Add unit test for LOCKED flag
Remove the const from the GstCaps in get/set_param. set_param modifies
the refcount of the caps.
Don't increment the refcount of the caps result of get_param like we
do with other objects.
Update some annotiations.
Group the extra allocation parameters in a GstAllocationParams structure to make
it easier to deal with them and so that we can extend them later if needed.
Make gst_buffer_new_allocate() take the GstAllocationParams for added
functionality.
Add boxed type for GstAllocationParams.
Change gst_allocator_alloc() so that we can also spicify flags and padding.
Add 2 new flags to mark the memory 0 prefixed/padded. This allows us to
remove some resizes in the base classes.
When allocating memory, memset prefix and padding with 0 when the flags tell
us to.
On resize, clear the zero padding flags if we can't guarantee the memory is
still 0 filled.
Update tests.
Negotiating padding is needed on second thought so include it in the
ALLOCATION query.
Make the bufferpool take padding into account when allocating.
Make basesrc take padding into account.
Use padding and prefix when allocating in basetransform.
Since GValueArray is deprecated. It's all only internal anywhere here,
but if we use GstValueArray the option strings get serialized nicely
in the debug logs at least.
Mark all metadata on the allocated buffers with a POOLED flag. When a buffer
returns to the pool, remove all metadata that did not have the POOLED flag. This
makes sure that we never leave unknown metadata to the buffers in the pool.
