gst-tester is a tool to launch `.validatetest` files with
TAP[0] compatible output and supporting missing `gst-validate`
application which means that it can be cleanly integrated with meson
test harness.
It allows us to use `gst-validate` to write integration tests in any
GStreamer repository keeping them as close as possible to the code. It
can simplify a lot test writing and reading and not having to go into
another repository to implement or run tests makes it more convenient to
use.
This also implements a stupid simple test to show how that works

This was effectively disabled in 1.0 with the intent of maybe re-enabling it.
The problem is that caching duration at a bin level doesn't make much sense
since there might be queueing/buffering taking place internally and therefore
the duration reported might have no correlation to what is actually being
outputted.
Remove commented code and fixmes, and update documentation

Making it less random and fixing a race in a GES test where we have
as pipeline:
```
videotestsrc ! output-selector name=s ! input-selector name=i s. ! timecodestamper ! i.
```
which we seek, leading to the seek reaching the video testsrc
without going through the timecodestamper and generating a buffer
even before timecodestamper gets the seek which means that its internal
state is wrong compared to the datastream it gets and attaches wrong
timecode metas.

This is needed for cross-compiling without a build machine compiler
available. The option was added in 0.54, but we only need this in
Cerbero and it doesn't affect older versions so it should be ok.
Will just cause a spurious warning.

Identity was ignoring seek and flush events even when using
a single segment. In the end it means that we couldn't compute
buffers running-time and stream time after seeks.
This commits adds support for flushing seeks only as I have no idea
what to do for non flushing ones.

In reverse playback, buffers are played back from buffer.stop
(buffer.pts + buffer.duration) to buffer.pts running times which
mean that we need to use the buffer end running time as a buffer
timestsamp, not the buffer pts when using a single segment in reverse
playback.
This is now being tested in
`validate.test.identity.reverse_single_segment`

In reverse playback, buffers have to be displayed at buffer.stop running
time, otherwise a same set of buffer can't be displayed in the exact opposite
order to forward playback.
For example, seeking a video stream at 1fps with start=0, stop=5s, rate=1.0
will display the following buffers:
b0.pts = 0s, b0.duration = 1s - at running time = 0s
b1.pts = 1s, b1.duration = 1s - at running time = 1s
b2.pts = 2s, b2.duration = 1s - at running time = 2s
b3.pts = 3s, b3.duration = 1s - at running time = 3s
b4.pts = 4s, b4.duration = 1s - at running time = 4s
<wait at EOS for 1second>
Now, playing that reverse with start=0, stop=5s, rate=1.0 has to display
the following buffers:
b0.pts = 4s, b0.duration = 1s - at running time = 0s
b1.pts = 3s, b1.duration = 1s - at running time = 1s
b2.pts = 2s, b2.duration = 1s - at running time = 2s
b3.pts = 1s, b3.duration = 1s - at running time = 3s
b4.pts = 0s, b4.duration = 1s - at running time = 4s
<wait at EOS for 1second>
With the previous code, it reproduced the following:
b0.pts = 4s, b0.duration = 1s - at running time = 1s
b1.pts = 3s, b1.duration = 1s - at running time = 2s
b2.pts = 2s, b2.duration = 1s - at running time = 3s
b3.pts = 1s, b3.duration = 1s - at running time = 4s
b4.pts = 0s, b4.duration = 1s - at running time = 5s
<NO WAIT AT EOS AND POST EOS RIGHT AWAY>
This is being tested with the `validate.launch_pipeline.sink.reverse_playback_clock_waits.*`
set of tests

In reverse playback, buffers are played back from buffer.stop
(buffer.pts + buffer.duration) to buffer.pts, which means that the
position after the buffer is consumed is buffer.pts, not buffer.pts -
buffer.duration.
Without that change, and when `automatic_eos` feature is on,
we were dropping the last buffers as marking the stream EOS one buffer
too soon.
This is now being tested extensively by GstValidate in the
`validate.test.clock_sync.*` set of tests.

We must not retry fclose() on EINTR as POSIX states:
After the call to fclose(), any use of stream results in undefined
behavior.
We ensure above with fflush() and fsync() that everything is written out
so chances of running into EINTR are very low. Nonetheless assume that
the file can't be safely renamed, we'll just try again on the next
opportunity.

...instead of a file descriptor so buffered I/O is used when writing
the binary cache. This boosts performance at startup, particularly on
network filesystems where writes may be quite slow.
Fixes gstreamer#545.
