It was unintuitive that GstContext was actually a list of different
contexts. GstContext now is only a type string and a structure to
contain the actual context.
Does not do anything yet. On a sidenote, we can't just use
%p\001 or so to signal the extension because g-i complains
about an invalid ascii character then, so have to resort to
something more elaborate, such as %p\aA etc.

and remove all the printf extension/specifier stuff for
the system printf. Next we need to add back the custom
specifiers to our own printf implementation.

These are meant to specify features in caps that are required
for a specific structure, for example a specific memory type
or meta.
Semantically they could be though of as an extension of the media
type name of the structures and are handled exactly like that.
This happened when glib was not using system printf, and caused the
internal gstreamer printf extensions to be used for all %p printfs,
causing crashes.

This was a FIXME for 0.11. I guess a case could be made to keep it around
separately for apps or libraries that only want to use GStreamer's debugging
system, but it seems more likely they'd just copy the two source files into
their own tree if the case. Also, things like types wouldn't be initialised
without gst_init(). We can still make it public again if anyone needs it,
but then we should make it a proper function and not hide it behind
underscores.
GstBuffer pointers can now be printed using GST_PTR_FORMAT. This is used
in the very useful GST_SCHEDULING debug logs in gstpad.c and allows for
easier and more information tracking of buffer progress through a
pipeline with just debug logging.
Improve GstSegment, rename some fields. The idea is to have the GstSegment
structure represent the timing structure of the buffers as they are generated by
the source or demuxer element.
gst_segment_set_seek() -> gst_segment_do_seek()
Rename the NEWSEGMENT event to SEGMENT.
Make parsing of the SEGMENT event into a GstSegment structure.
Pass a GstSegment structure when making a new SEGMENT event. This allows us to
pass the timing info directly to the next element. No accumulation is needed in
the receiving element, all the info is inside the element.
Remove gst_segment_set_newsegment(): This function as used to accumulate
segments received from upstream, which is now not needed anymore because the
segment event contains the complete timing information.
Hide the GstStructure of the event in the implementation specific part so that
we can change it.
Add methods to check and make the event writable.
Add a new method to get a writable GstStructure of the element.
Avoid directly accising the event structure.
Add the sticky flag to events and a sticky index.
Keep sticky events in an array on each pad.
Remove GST_EVENT_SRC(), it is causing refcycles with sticky events, was not used
and is not very interesting anyway.
Make adding/removing gst_debug_log_default() work reliably in all
circumstances. The problem was that depending on platform and linker
flags the function argument might resolve to different addresses,
which made it impossible to remove the default log function added
in gst_init() from application code (because the pointer values
didn't match). The new approach should keep things simple by passing
NULL for the default function, which the code in libgstreamer can
then handle.

Avoid unnecessary malloc/free to get the file basename on MSVC to avoid
unnecessary overhead when doing GST_DEBUG=foo:5 or so (since it would be
done before the category log level filtering).
