This way we can have a single file that wraps scenarios,
`gst-validate-1.0` arguments, as well as a configuration.
It changes the name of `description` of scenarios to use `meta`
The goal is to replace tests describes in python with dictionary
to fully self contained `.validatetest` files which look like:
```
meta,
handles-states=true,
ignore-eos=true,
gst-validate-args = {
"videotestsrc pattern=blue ! video/x-raw,format=I420,framerate=1/1 ! timeoverlay ! $(videosink) name=videosink allocation-meta-flags=0",
},
configs = {
"$(validateflow), pad=videosink:sink, buffers-checksum=true, ignored-fields={\"buffers=meta\", }",
}
play
seek, start=0.0, stop=5.0, flags=accurate+flush, rate=1.0
crank-clock, expected-elapsed-time=0.0
crank-clock, repeat=4, expected-elapsed-time=1.0
crank-clock, expected-elapsed-time=1.0
stop, on-message=eos
```
We do not have a way to know the format modifiers to use with string
functions provided by the system. `G_GUINT64_FORMAT` and other string
modifiers only work for glib string formatting functions. We cannot
use them for string functions provided by the stdlib. See:
https://developer.gnome.org/glib/stable/glib-Basic-Types.html#glib-Basic-Types.description

Needed for https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/cerbero/merge_requests/419
Get a sense of files and line numbers in the parsed GstStructure
and take that information when reporting GstValidateAction errors
by letting the user know where the action comes from in the messages.
And accept non-literal string in printing formats.
