e4cba8a0bf tracers: set MAY_BE_LEAKED on tracer records
The records are static and so appear as false positives when using those
tracers with the leaks tracer as well.
The leaks tracer was already setting this flag on its record so let's
set it on the other ones as well.

b5dc8598be leakstracer: Improve notes in the the get-live-objects API docs
It may not be obvious to the user how this action signal is meant to
be called, so document it.

6ccf59ec06 leakstracer: Add API for tracking and checkpointing objects
This feature was previously available only through the SIGUSR2 signal,
which meant it wasn't available on platforms that don't have UNIX
signals, such as Windows and with applications that already use
SIGUSR1 for something else.

Now we have action-signals for doing the same. These action signals
can also be used for fetching the checkpoint information
programmatically instead of printing to the debug log.

6e3565ca86 leakstracer: Add API for logging leaks in the debug log
This is the equivalent of sending SIGUSR1 to the application, and is
useful on platforms where UNIX signals are not available, such as
Windows.

44198ec4d6 leakstracer: Add API for fetching leaked objects
This allows programs to inspect the leaked objects directly, log them,
and so on. Unlike the existing mechanism to use SIGUSR1, this also
works on platforms that do not support UNIX signals, such as Windows
and with applications that already use SIGUSR1 for something else.

5cdf1b7db8 tracers: Allow setting a name for all tracer objects
This will be useful in combination with the next commit when we add
API to get a list of active tracers so that consumers of the API can
easily distinguish tracer objects.

145f8546c4 gstinfo: Add an explicit enum for GST_STACK_TRACE_SHOW_NONE
The code implicitly uses this value when the stack trace is not FULL.
Mostly useful for documenting the behaviour when each flag is passed
and for translating to/from strings.

f321f42359 latency: display event pointer in logs
This is quite useful for debugging when tracer is reporting the wrong

308f505110 tracer: latency: Fix bug when storing latency probe event
The pad name sotred in the latency event has no longer the name of the element,
so we have to get the element Id, element name and pad name values from the data
structure and compare all 3 values.

5470f6df00 latency: Dot not override already stored events
First, the event would be leaved, but also when an element takes
several buffers before producing one, we want the reported latency to be
the aggregation, so the distance from the oldest buffer.

e1be065293 tracers: log: Fix post query trace
The post tracer hooks have a GstQuery argument which was truncated from
the trace. As the post hook is the one that contains the useful data,
this bug was hiding the important information from that trace.

41e35c334b latency-tracer: Exclude synchronization time
The goal of this tracer is to measure the processing latency between a
src and a sink. In push mode, the time was read after the chain function
have returned. As the amount of time we wait to get synched is reverse
to the amount of latency the source introduced, the result was quite
surprising.

This patch moves the latency calculation in the pre-push hook. When
there is no processing in a a pipeline (e.g. fakesrc ! fakesink), the
latency will now be 0 as it's supposed to. For pull mode, the code was
already correct. When GstBaseSink operate in pull mode, the processing
time is done durring the pull, so pull-post is the right hook. The
synchronization will happen after the pull has ended. Note that
GstBaseSink rarely operate in pull mode.

97f39cae63 meson: Derive defines from header/function names
This is what Autoconf already does for us, so just do this. Avoids
people making typos while adding header or function checks. Because we
use a config.h.meson, such typos won't even be noticed.

Also, starting from Meson 0.36.0, the XCode 8 workaround that we use for
clock_gettime is no longer needed.

33616d47be info: Add a 'flags' parametter to gst_debug_get_stack_trace
This is an API break but that API has not been released yet.

We are passing a flag rather than a simple boolean as we can imagine
to implement more features in the future for example to retrieve a
stack trace for all the threads, etc..

Retrieving source file and line numbers is pretty
expensive while getting a stack trace, this new argument
allows the user to decide to retrieve a backtrace
without those infos instead which is much faster.

For example running $ GST_LEAKS_TRACER_STACK_TRACE=1 GST_DEBUG=GST_TRACER:7 \
GST_TRACERS=leaks time gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc num-buffers=1 ! fakesink:

* With simple stack traces:

    0.04s user 0.02s system 99% cpu 0.060 total

* With full stack traces:

    0.66s user 0.23s system 96% cpu 0.926 total
