I was confused by the existence of `gst_buffer_get_meta` as it suggested
to me that you should only attach one of any type of GstMeta to a buffer.
It's perfectly fine to attach multiple from a single API so I'm
documenting that here.

This might create deadlocks and we need to avoid holding element
specific lock while posting messages
For example a deadlock will happen if while posting the message,
someone connected on the bus (sync) tries to DOT the pipeline.

It might cause deadlocks to post messages while holding the queue2
lock. To avoid this a new boolean flag is set whenever a new
buffering percent is found. The message is posted after the lock
is released.
To make sure the buffering messages are posted in the right order, messages
are posted holding another lock. This prevents 2 threads trying to post
messages at the same time.

Use user_data to pass the log_file handle to the logger-function.
If one wants to change the log target (e.g. GST_DEBUG_FILE), simply call
gst_debug_remove_log_function() and re-add the handler with the new log-target
using gst_debug_add_log_function ().
It might cause deadlocks to post messages while holding the multiqueue
lock. To avoid this a new boolean flag is set whenever a new buffering percent
is found. The message is posted after the lock can be released.
To make sure the buffering messages are posted in the right order, messages
are posted holding another lock. This prevents 2 threads trying to post
messages at the same time.

Add a method letting people to ensure that unreffing one object
leads to its destruction, and possibly the destruction of more object
(think destruction of a GstBin etc...).

Don't print all the different pad functions, it's just
confusing and no one has ever needed to know this for
anything ever anyway, it's just useless information.
Besides, we also label the default implementations as
'custom' implementations (the code that tries to
prevent that doesn't actually work it seems).

Inactive pads should at all times have the flushing flag set. This means
that when we get a flush-stop on an inactive pad we must ignore it.
On sinkpads, make this more explicit. We used to not clear the flush
flag but remove the events and then return an error because the flushing
flag was set. Now just simply refuse the event without doing anything.
On srcpads, check that we are trying to push a flush-stop event and
refuse it. We would allow this and mark the srcpad as non-flushing
anymore.

Add a first_buffer boolean state flag to have baseparse do actions
before pushing data. This is used to check the caps for streamheader
buffers that are prepended to the stream, but only if the first buffer
isn't already marked with the _HEADER flag. In this case, it is assumed
that the _HEADER marked buffer is the same as the streamheader.

Don't re-start the queue push task on the source pad when a
flush-stop event comes in and we're in the process of shutting
down, otherwise that task will never be stopped again.
When the element is set to READY state, the pads get de-activated.
The source pad gets deactivated before the queue's own activate_mode
function on the source pads gets called (which will stop the thread),
so checking whether the pad is active before re-starting the task on
receiving flush-stop should be fine. The problem would happen when the
flush-stop handler was called just after the queue's activate mode
function had stopped the task.

Adds API to get or peek a sub-reader of a certain size from
a given byte reader. This is useful when parsing nested chunks,
one can easily get a byte reader for a sub-chunk and make
sure one never reads beyond the sub-chunk boundary.
API: gst_byte_reader_peek_sub_reader()
API: gst_byte_reader_get_sub_reader()
Otherwise it would only be proxied for the active pad which can lead
upstream to use an incompatible caps for the downstream element.
Even if a reconfigure event is sent upstream when the pad is activated, this
will save the caps reconfiguration if it is already using an acceptable caps.
Just remove one skip annotation that causes this:
** (g-ir-compiler:12458): ERROR **: Caught NULL node, parent=empty
with older g-i versions such as 1.32.1.
Don't rely on g_source_remove() because it operates on the main
context. If a signal watch was added to a new thread-default context
g_source_remove() would have no effect. So simply use
g_source_destroy() to avoid this problem.
Additionally the source_id was removed from GstBusPrivate because it
was redundant with the signal watch GSource also stored in that
structure.

Imagine the following 'pipeline'
--------------
p1/| 'fullqueue' |--- 'laggy' downstream
--------- / | |
-| demuxer | | multiqueue |
--------- \ | |
p2\| 'emptyqueue' |--- 'fast' downstream
--------------
In the case downstream of one single queue (fullqueue) has (a lot of) latency
(for example for reverse playback with video), we can end up having the other
SingleQueue (emptyqueue) emptied, before that fullqueue gets
unblocked. In the meantime, the demuxer tries to push on fullqueue, and
is blocking there.
In that case the current code will post a BUFFERING message on the bus when
emptyqueue gets emptied, that leads to the application setting the pipeline state to
PAUSED. So now we end up in a situation where 'laggy downstream' is
prerolled and will not unblock anymore because the pipeline is set to
PAUSED, the fullequeue does not have a chance to be emptied and
the emptyqueue can not get filled anymore so no more BUFERRING message
will be posted and the pipeline is stucked in PAUSED for the eternity.
Making sure that we do not try to "buffer" if one of the single queue
does not need buffering, prevents this situtation from happening though it lets the
oportunity for buffering in all other cases.
That implements a new logic where we need all singlequeue to need
buffering for the multiqueue to actually state buffering is needed,
taking the maximum buffering of the single queue as the reference point.

This function is not really pad or slow for the common case of requesting a
pad with the name of the template. It is only slower if you to name your pads
directly instead of letting the element handle it.
Also there's no reason to deprecate it in favor of a more complicated function
for the common case.
