The new request_new_pad_full vmethod provides an additional caps field,
which allows elements to take better decision process.
Also, add a gst_element_request_pad() function to allow developers to be
able to specify which pad template they want a pad of.
Convert gstutils to use that new method instead of the old one when more
efficient.
This is useful for being able to request pads in a more flexible way,
especially when the element can provide pads whose caps depend on
runtime configuration and therefore can't provide pre-registered
pad templates.

Fix wrongly placed example and weirdly phrased 'note' lacking proper
formatting. Fix missing hint for autogen.sh location and rephrase
'built and installed' sentence. Fix wrongly phrased and redundant
paragraph in PWG

Add minimal math-compath.h header where we can define fallback
versions for miscellaneous math functions that aren't always
available, so we don't have to duplicate this in plugins.
The header is not included by default, so needs to be
included explicitly for now.

Adds a new tag to indicate the error in horizontal positioning
in meters. This is one of the available 'gps error' fields in
exif, for example.
API: GST_TAG_GEO_LOCATION_HORIZONTAL_ERROR
Add a function to retrieve a list of buffers containing the first N bytes from
the adapter. This can be done without a memcpy and should make it possible to
transfer the list to a GstBufferList later.
Add _set_value() variants that take ownership of the value passed
instead of making a copy of the value. This is useful for setting
values to things that aren't refcounted (e.g. GValueArrays or
strings or string arrays, etc.).
API: gst_structure_take_value()
API: gst_structure_id_take_value()

Add a GstStructure to GstElementClass and GstElementFactory. Add setters/getter.
Handle it in the registry code. Print items in gst-inspect.
Fixes#396774.
API: gst_element_class_set_meta_data(), gst_element_factory_get_meta_data_detail()
Added a new query type to retrieve informations about the areas of the
media currently buffered. See bug 623121.
API: gst_query_add_buffering_range
API: gst_query_get_n_buffering_ranges
API: gst_query_parse_nth_buffering_range
Make code including GStreamer headers compile with -Wcast-qual by
maintaining const-ness when casting. Also fix function signature of
gst_byte_writer_set_pos(): the byte writer should not be marked as
const.

Adds GST_TAG_APPLICATION_DATA for representing arbitrary private
data that applications might want to store into tags. Exif/id3,
for example, have tags for this.
API: GST_TAG_APPLICATION_DATA
Fixes#626651
For some reason the static inline function GST_CAT_LEVEL_LOG_valist is
now picked up, which then breaks the build because it's not documented,
so add it to the sections file.
Based on patch by Víctor Manuel Jáquez Leal <vjaquez@igalia.com>.
Fixes#625862.
