These are meant to specify features in caps that are required
for a specific structure, for example a specific memory type
or meta.
Semantically they could be though of as an extension of the media
type name of the structures and are handled exactly like that.
There are many good use cases for GstIndex and we want
to add it back again in some form, but possibly not with
the current API, which is very powerful (maybe too powerful),
but also a bit confusing. At the very least we'd need to
make the API bindings-friendly.
Add a new simple miniobject that is a combination of a GstBuffer, GstCaps,
GstSegment and other arbitrary info organized in a GstStructure. This object can
be used to exchange samples between an element and the application or for
storing album art in tags etc.
This make the controller even more lightweight (no extra object, no extra lock,
less indirections). For object that don't use the controller the only 'overhead'
is a 3 unused fields in the gst_object structure.
Move the controller to gstobject as a simple delegate. The controller and
controlsource are not classes in core. The controlsources stay separate as a lib
for now. This way we can avoid the qdata lookups.
Also remove controller_init(). There is no more need to link to controller for
elements.
Also sanitize the API. We now have functions to add properties like we had
methods to remove that. That avoids then ref count hacks we had in _new.
It was a bit too clever, and didn't really work as an API,
confusing people to no end. Better implement specific methods
whether an interface is usable/available/ready on the interface
itself, or even add GError arguments, rather than try to have
per-instance interfaces.

* gst/gstpoll.h:
Add generic poll abstraction. We ideally don't want to have this in core
here but in glib intead...
This code will be used in various network elements and ultimately for
the nanosecond precision monotonic clock (that's why it's here in core).
It'll allow us to implement cancelable socket operations for windows too.
* tests/check/Makefile.am:
* tests/check/gst/gstpoll.c: (test_poll_wait), (GST_START_TEST),
(delayed_stop), (delayed_restart), (delayed_flush),
(delayed_control), (gst_poll_suite):
Add GstPoll unit test.

Doc updates.
Added API and command line option to disable registry forking in
addition to the environment variable.
Constify some static arrays.
Added some more debug.
Don't deinit twice.

Add two functions to check and change the SIGSEGV behaviour

Don't mess with the SIGSEGV handler when we were told not to.
