The way a clip's track elements are added to tracks was re-handled. This
doesn't affect the normal usage of a simple audio-video timeline, where
the tracks are added before any clips, but usage for multi-track
timelines has improved. The main changes are:
+ We can now handle a track being selected for more than one track,
including a full copy of their children properties and bindings.
(Previously broken.)
+ When a clip is split, we copy the new elements directly into the same
track, avoiding select-tracks-for-object.
+ When a clip is grouped or ungrouped, we avoid moving the elements to
or from tracks.
+ Added API to allow users to copy the core elements of a clip directly
into a track, complementing select-tracks-for-object.
+ Enforced the rule that a clip can only contain one core child in a
track, and all the non-core children must be added to tracks that
already contains a core child. This extends the previous condition
that two sources from the same clip should not be added to the same
track.
+ Made ges_track_add_element check that the newly added track element
does not break the configuration rules of the timeline.
+ When adding a track to a timeline, we only use
select-tracks-for-object to check whether track elements should be
added to the new track, not existing ones.
+ When removing a track from a timeline, we empty it of all the track
elements that are controlled by a clip. Thus, we ensure that a clip
only contains elements that are in the tracks of the same timeline, or
no track. Similarly, when removing a clip from a timeline.
+ We can now avoid unsupported timeline configurations when a layer is
added to a timeline, and already contains clips.
+ We can now avoid unsupported timeline configurations when a track is
added to a timeline, and the timeline already contains clips.

Before the max-duration could be set arbitrarily when the clip was empty,
to indicate what the max-duration would be once the core children were
created. Now, we can also do this whilst the clip only contains non-core
children.
Make sure we sink the child on adding, and keep it alive until the end
in case the method fails.
Also, since the child mappings hold a ref to the child, they should give
them up in their free method. This way, the ref will be given up on
disposing, even if ges_container_remove fails.
Also, reverse setting of the start of the container if adding fails.
The in-point of a clip is kept in sync with its core children, unless they
have no has-internal-source.
The max-duration is defined as the minimum max-duration amongst the
clip's core children. If it is set to a new value, this sets the
max-duration of its core children to the same value if they have
has-internal-source set as TRUE.
Non-core children (such as effects on a source clip) do not influence
these values.
As part of this, we no longer track in-point in GESContainer. Unlike start
and duration, the in-point of a timeline element does not refer to its
extent in the timeline. As such, it has little meaning for most
collections of timeline-elements, in particular GESGroups. As such, there
is no generic way to relate the in-point of a container to its children.
Previously the control bindings were not properly copied into the pasted
clip. Also changed the order so that elements are added to the clip
before the clip is added to the timeline.
Add the child-property-added and child-property-removed signals to
GESTimelineElement.
GESContainer is able to use this to keep their child properties in sync
with their children: if they are added or removed from the child, they
are also added or removed from the container.
Hold the notify signals for the container and the children until after
the child has been fully added or removed.
After the previous commit, this was used to ensure that the
notify::priority signal was sent for children of a clip *after* the
child-removed signal. This stopped being the case when the code in
->child_removed was moved to ->remove_child (the latter is called before
the child-removed signal is emitted, whilst the former is called
afterwards). Rather than undo this move of code, which was necessary to
ensure that ->add_child was always reversed, the notify::priority signal
is now simply delayed until after removing the child has completed. This
was done for all notify signals, as well as in the add method, to ensure
consistency.
This allows the test_clips.py test_signal_order_when_removing_effect to
pass.
Also make subclasses take a copy of the list of the children before
setting the start and duration, since this can potentially re-order the
children (if they have the SET_SIMPLE flag set).
Only allow elements that were created by ges_clip_create_track_elements
(or copied from such an element) to be added to a clip. This prevents
users from adding arbitrary elements to a clip.
As an exception, a user can add GESBaseEffects to clips whose class
supports it, i.e. to a GESSourceClip and a GESBaseEffectClip.
This change also introduces a distinction between the core elements of a
clip (created by ges_clip_create_track_elements) and non-core elements
(currently, only GESBaseEffects, for some classes). In particular,
GESBaseEffectClip will now distinguish between its core elements and
effects added by the user. This means that the core elements will always
have the lowest priority, and will not be listed as top effects. This is
desirable because it brings the behaviour of GESBaseEffectClip in line
with other clip types.
In general, brought the behaviour of the `start`, `duration` and
`inpoint` setters in line with each other. In particular:
1. fixed return value the GESSourceClip `duration` setter
2. changed the GESClip `start` setter
3. fixed the inpoint callback for GESContainer
4. changed the type of `res` in GESTimelineElement to be gint to
emphasise that the GES library is using the hack that a return of -1
from klass->set_duration means no notify signal should be sent out.
Also added a new test for clips to ensure that the setters work for
clips within and outside of timelines, and that the `start`, `inpoint`
and `duration` of a clip will match its children.
This is implemented on top of a Tree that represents the whole timeline.
SourceClips can not fully overlap anymore and the tests have been
updated to take that into account. Some new tests were added to verify
that behaviour in greater details
GstDiscoverer objects were leaked by tests making the leaks detector
unusable.
Introduce ges_deinit(), similiar to gst_deinit(), doing some cleanup
before exiting the process.

GESLayer is now responsible for setting clips priorites. Also
GESClip top effects priorities are now set by the
ges_clip_set_top_effect_index method, the user should never call
ges_timeline_element_set_priority as it will anyway be overriden
by GES itself.

Fix all tests as we now have 1 priority inside the layer
dedicated to transitions (basically no source clip will
ever have a priority of 0 inside a layer).
Differential Revision: https://phabricator.freedesktop.org/D1276
And fix all the tests as we need to wait for the project to be loaded
to check the reference count of the timeline (as we keep a ref on the
timeline in project to later emit "loaded" on idle).
If you want a custom clip then you have to subclass GESClip,
This class was pre historicall and only used for testing purposes, we
have GESTestClip for that.

Check if an object rthat has already been freed has been destroyed is not safe.
Add a helper function that uses weak reference to check that objects that are expected
to be destroyed when unrefing an object are actually destroyed.
The GNL API changed to go from a model where user could
enable/disable updates in the composition, which leaded to races
in many places, to a model where any positioning change in the
composition is not directly done but 'cached' and then the user
has to commit those changes so they become effective in the media
processing stack.
The new API in GES is pretty similare and is basically copy
pasting this new design.
We still need to see if in some context it would make sense to add
a mode where we would commit any changes ourself at the end of our
operation for basic use cases.
Removed APIs:
ges_timeline_enable_update
