Since we started depending on GLib 2.44, we can be sure this macro is
defined (it will be a no-op on compilers that don't support it). For
plugins we should just start using `G_DECLARE_FINAL_TYPE` which means
we no longer need the macro there, but for most types in core we don't
want to break ABI, which means it's better to just keep it like it is
(and use the `#ifdef` instead).
We need different export decorators for the different libs.
For now no actual change though, just rename before the release,
and add prelude headers to define the new decorator to GST_EXPORT.
Enable it to prevent sending reconfigure when linking elements.
Useful for autoplugging when we know caps or bufferpools shouldn't change
to save doing caps renegotiation to end up with the same final scenario.
The no-reconfigure is not a proper check, it is a flag. It is implemented
as a GstPadLinkCheck to avoid creating another gst_pad_link variant.

Make it explicit that the pad is only blocked while the callback is running,
and the pad will be unblocked again once the callback returned.
If BLOCK and IDLE behaviour is needed, both need to be used.

In some cases, probes might want to handle the buffer/event/query
themselves and stop the data from travelling further downstream.
While this was somewhat possible with buffer/events and using
GST_PROBE_DROP, it was not applicable to queries, and would result
in the query failing.
With this new GST_PROBE_HANDLED value, the buffer/event/query will
be considered as successfully handled, will not be pushed further
and the appropriate return value (TRUE or GST_FLOW_OK) will be returned
This also allows probes to return a non-default GstFlowReturn when dealing
with buffer push. This can be done by setting the
GST_PAD_PROBE_INFO_FLOW_RETURN() field accordingly

It will make the default accept-caps handler use the pad template
caps instead of the query-caps result to check if the caps is
acceptable. This is aligned with what the design docs says the
accept-caps should do (be non-recursive) and should be faster. It
is *not* enabled by default, though.

Support for (nullable) was added to G-I at the same time as nullable
return values. Previous versions of G-I will not mark return values as
nullable, even when an (allow-none) annotation is present, so it is
not necessary to add (allow-none) annotations for compatibility with
older versions of G-I.

Stores the last result of a gst_pad_push or a pull on the GstPad and provides
a getter and a macro to access this field.
Whenever the pad is inactive it is set to FLUSHING

Make a new flag on the pad that tweaks the default behaviour of the
accept-caps function. By default it will check for a subset of the
query-caps result but this is not always desirable. The query-caps
result contains all the constraints to make a good caps decision
upstream but sometimes, like for parsers, not all the constrained caps
fields are known upstream and then a subset check would fail. Switching
to an intersection makes this work again.

* add many missing declarations to sections
* GstController has been removed, update docs
* skip GstIndex when generating documentation
* rephrase so gtkdoc doesn't imagine return value
* add missing argument description for gst_context_new()
* document GstOutputSelectorPadNegotiationMode and move to header-file

Add an alternative version of gst_pad_check_reconfigure that doesn't
clear the reconfigure flag.
Useful for increasing error resilience without duplicating the
reconfigure code in pad task functions.
