This new API allow resuming a task if it was paused, while leaving it to
stopped stated if it was stopped or not started yet. This new API can be
useful for callback driver workflow, where you basically want to pause and
resume the task when buffers are notified while avoiding the race with a
gst_task_stop() coming from another thread.
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.

* *.h:
* *.c: Ran scripts/update-macros. Oh yes.
* gst/gstobject.h (GST_OBJECT_GET_LOCK, GST_OBJECT_LOCK)
(GST_OBJECT_TRYLOCK, GST_OBJECT_UNLOCK): Renamed from
GST_GET_LOCK, etc.
* scripts/update-macros: New script. Run it on your files to
change GST_LOCK to GST_OBJECT_LOCK, and the same for UNLOCK as
well.
Original commit message from CVS:
* check/generic/states.c: (GST_START_TEST):
Make sure all tasks are stopped.
* check/gst/gstbin.c: (GST_START_TEST):
Unref after usage for proper valgrinding.
* gst/gstpad.c: (gst_pad_finalize), (gst_pad_stop_task):
Really wait for the task to stop before destroying the
mutex.
* gst/gstqueue.c: (gst_queue_sink_activate_push),
(gst_queue_src_activate_push):
Small cleanups. Don't stop the task when we did not start
it.
* gst/gsttask.c: (gst_task_get_type), (gst_task_init),
(gst_task_func), (gst_task_cleanup_all), (gst_task_set_lock),
(gst_task_get_state), (gst_task_start), (gst_task_pause),
(gst_task_join):
* gst/gsttask.h:
Protect the stream lock with the object lock.
Disallow setting the stream lock when running.
Add cleanup_all to wait for the threadpool to finish.
Remove code to autoallocate a mutex if none was provided.
Add _join() to wait for a task to stop.
Protect the thread pool with a global lock.
Original commit message from CVS:
Removed plugable schedulers.
Removed Scheduler/Manager from elements.
Removed gsttypes.h, rearranged includes.
Removed dependency pad<->element, element<>pipeline, and
various others, fix includes.
implement gst_pad_get_parent() with gst_object_get_parent()
Make GstTask sefcontained.
Fix _get_state() on GstBin, it did not return ASYNC with a 0
timeout.
Fix endless loop in iterator_fold_with_resync.
Original commit message from CVS:
* gst/base/gstbasesink.c: (gst_basesink_preroll_queue_empty),
(gst_basesink_handle_object), (gst_basesink_event),
(gst_basesink_do_sync), (gst_basesink_handle_event),
(gst_basesink_change_state):
* gst/gsttask.h:
Right, two problems here: ghostpads don't take locks and
glib _rec_mutex_lock_full() with depth==0 still locks.
Catch illegal locking and g_warn them.
