Rework the audio caps similar to the video caps. Remove
width/depth/endianness/signed fields and replace with a simple string
format and media type audio/x-raw.
Create a GstAudioInfo and some helper methods to parse caps.
Remove duplicate code from the ringbuffer and replace with audio info.
Use AudioInfo in the base audio filter class.
Port elements to new API.

Implement a linear congruential generator as pseudo random number
generator for the dither noise. This is about 2 times faster than
using GLib's mersenne twister. Also this uses only integer math for
generating integers while GLib internally uses floating point math.

Implement dithering and noise shaping in audioconvert. By default now
TPDF dithering (and no noise shaping) will be used when converting
from a higher bit depth to 20 bit depth or smaller, otherwise
everything will be as it is now.
For the last audioconvert in a pipeline it would make sense to
use some kind of noise shaping, enabling it by default for all
conversions would give undesired results though. Fixes#360246.
* tests/check/elements/audioconvert.c: (setup_audioconvert),
(GST_START_TEST):
Adjust unit test for the new audioconvert.
