By this new property, user can select physical port to connect,
and element will pick requested port instead of random ones.
User should provide full port name including "client_name:" prefix.
An example is
jackaudiosrc port-names="system:capture_1,system:capture_3" ! ...
jackaudiosink port-names="system:playback_2"
In addition to "port-names" property, a new connect type "explicit"
is added so that element can post error message if requested
"port-names" contains invalid port(s).

Port objects acquired with jack_get_ports() need to be freed with
jack_free(3), not stdlib free().
On Windows, Jack may be linked against different libc than GStreamer
libraries so free()ing port objects directly might cause crash because
of libc mismatch.
If jackd changes the buffer size or sample rate, jackaudiosink hangs
and can't be stopped. This also happens if jack is configured as slave
and a gstreamer pipeline is started on the slave machine while the jack
master isn't running yet. If the the jack master is started it changes
the buffer size / sample rate and jackaudiosink can't be stopped.
This fix calls jack_shutdown_cb when jack_sample_rate_cb or
jack_buffer_size_cb is called.

Highlights of the features provided are:
* Faster builds on Linux (~40-50% faster)
* The ability to build with MSVC on Windows
* Generate Visual Studio project files
* Generate XCode project files
* Much faster builds on Windows (on-par with Linux)
* Seriously fast configure and building on embedded
... and many more. For more details see:

Building with Meson should work on both Linux and Windows, but may
need a few more tweaks on other operating systems.
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.
Add log handlers for jack that write to the gst debug log. This avoids spamming
the console when e.g. using autoaudiosink, having the jack elements installed,
but not running jack.
Move common code to jackclient. There we can also handle the request state
message in a better way, as the element callbacks are only run if the element is
active.
Clients can configure the desired behaviour via "transport" property. The
default behaviour is ignoring the transport state. Other modes are master and
slave.
Add private replacements for deprecated functions such as
g_mutex_new(), g_mutex_free(), g_cond_new() etc., mostly
to avoid the deprecation warnings. We'll change these
over to the new API once we depend on glib >= 2.32.
