The current documentation is controverse, while it states that the
returned value is valid only while the query is is valid, which presumes
a 'transfer none' policy. But the tooltip for the 'out' annotation
states the default is 'transfer-full'.
Add the missing 'transfer none' annotations to fix this.
Tweak the documentation slightly to clarify that the estimated-total in
a a Buffering query the total remaining time of a download, not the
total time for the complete download. Also indicate the unit used.

Make gst_query_add_allocation_meta() take a copy of the passed caps instead of
taking ownership. This makes it easier for the caller in most cases because it
doesn't have to make a copy and deal with NULL values.
Make GstAllocator a GstObject instead of a GstMiniObject, like bufferpool.
Make a new gstallocator.c file. Make a GstAllocator subclass for the default
allocator.
Make it possible to add API specific flags to the ALLOCATION query. This makes
it possible to also check what kinds of subfeatures of the metadata API are
supported.
Move the locking methods from GstMemory to GstMiniObject.
Add a miniobject flag to enable LOCKABLE objects. LOCKABLE objects can
use the lock/unlock API to control the access to the object.
Add a minobject flag that allows you to lock an object in readonly mode.
Modify the _is_writable() method to check the shared counter for LOCKABLE
objects. This allows us to control writability separately from the refcount for
LOCKABLE objects.
Now that TOCs are refcounted and have a GType, we can just
stuff a ref of the TOC directly into the various toc
event/message/query structures and get rid of lots of
cracktastic GstStructure <-> GstToc serialisation and
deserialisation code. We lose some TOC sanity checking
in the process, but that should really be done when
it's being created anyway.
So mini objects don't have to poke into the GstMiniObject part
of the structure. Saves lines of code, and seems slightly cleaner.
We don't have proper OO hierarchies or methods here after all.
The size field is used by subclasses to store the total allocated size of the
memory for this miniobject. Because miniobject doesn't really do anything with
this field we can move it to the subclasses.
Separate the bufferpool and allocator hints in the allocation query, some
of the values don't always make sense together.
Keep the bufferpool and its configuration together.
Keep the allocator and its parameters together.
Allow for multiple bufferpool configurations in the query.
Negotiating padding is needed on second thought so include it in the
ALLOCATION query.
Make the bufferpool take padding into account when allocating.
Make basesrc take padding into account.
Use padding and prefix when allocating in basetransform.
Also register queries with a QueryType that allows us to check if the event is
sent in the right direction. Add a serialized query type because we will need
this for the allocation query.
Remove the QueryTypeDefinition stuff, it is not used anymore and we now use
custom queries and separate API for them.
Update defs.
