There is currently no way for users to receive incoming events from
appsink while keeping them properly serialized with the buffers flow.
This can be especially useful when application is injecting custom
downstream events into the pipeline and needs to know when they reached
appsink.
Solving this by adding a new signal notifying about new incoming events
and a set of action signals and method to pull those events.
The API is actually pulling the samples and events all together as they
are actually fetched from the same queue.
Having a specific API to pull only events would have the side effect of
discarding samples (and pulling samples would discard events) making
this API not convenient for users.

If a buffer is dropped during resyncing on a discont because either its
end offset is already before the current output offset of the
aggregator or because it fully overlaps with the part of the current
output buffer that was already filled, then don't just assume that the
next buffer is going to start at exactly the expected offset. It might
still require some more dropping of samples.
This caused the input to be mixed with an offset to its actual position
in the output stream, causing additional latency and wrong
synchronization between the different input streams.
Instead consider each buffer after a discont as a discont until the
aggregator actually resynced and starts mixing samples from the input
again.
Also update the start output offset of a new input buffer if samples
have to be dropped at the beginning. Otherwise it might be mixed too
early into the output and overwrite part of the output buffer that
already took samples from this input into account.

A video decoder can now receive subframes and start decoding
instead of waiting for the full frame to be complete.
Subframe support will reduce latency as described in the
video encoder base class.
A unit test illustrating this API is available in
tests/check/libs/videodecoder.c.

While preparing a blist for pushing, some RTP header extension may
request caps change for a specific buffer in the list. When this
happens, depayloader should immediately push those buffers from the list
that precede the currently processed buffer (for which the caps change
was requested) and only then apply the new caps to the src pad.

User often want to set encoder properties on encoding profiles,
this introduces a way to easily 'preset' properties when defining the
profile. This uses GstStructure to define those properties the same
way it is done in `splitmux` for example as it makes simple to handle.
This also defines a more complex structure type where we can map a set
of properties to set depending on the muxer/encoder factory that has
been picked by EncodeBin so it is quite flexible.

These parameters are incorrectly regarded as mutable in G-IR making them
"incompatible" with languages that are explicit about mutability like
Rust. In order to clean up the code and expected API there, update the
signatures here, right at the source (instead of overriding them in
Gir.toml and hoping for the best).

First: the buffer is pushed on the encoding filesink only *after* the
checkpoints, leading to wrong ordering in expectations.
The second one is about EOS being posted on the bus *before* the
stop action is executed, leading to the action never being executed.
That action was plain useless as the default behavior of validate
scenario is to internally create a "stop" action on EOS (unless
disabled by user).

Add a way for applications to specify that the underlying file is
growing which implies that the source won't EOS when reaching the end
of the file but instead start monitoring it and start reading it again
whenever a change is detected.
Also add a validate test to check the behavior

We've been allowing only a few known chroma-site values such as
jpeg (not co-sited), mpeg2 (horizontally co-sited) and
dv (co-sited on alternate lines). That's insufficient for
representing all possible chroma-site values. By this commit,
we can represent any combination of chroma-site flags.
But, an exception here is that any combination with
GST_VIDEO_CHROMA_SITE_NONE will be considered as invalid value.
For any combination of chroma-site flags,
gst_video_chroma_to_string() method is deprecated in order to
return newly allocated string via a new gst_video_chroma_site_to_string()
method. And for consistent API naming, gst_video_chroma_from_string()
is also deprecated. Newly written code should use
gst_video_chroma_site_from_string() instead.

New signals are added for managing the internal list of rtp header
extension implementations read by a specific depayloader instance.
If the 'extmap-$NUM' field is present in the src caps, then an
extension implementation will be requested but is not required to be able
to negotiate correctly. An extension will be requested using the
'request-extension' signal if none could be found internally.

.. and make use of that API in videoaggregator.
When setting certain properties, such as cropping or the scaled
size of pads, a new converter is created by videoaggregator.
Before that patch, this implied spawning new threads, potentially
at each aggregate cycle when interpolating pad properties. This
is obviously wasteful, and re-using a task pool removes that
overhead.

In the case `videoaggregator` is set as allowing format conversions,
and as we convert only on the sinkpads, we should ensure that the
chosen format is usable by the subclass. This in turns implies
that the format is usable on the srcpad.
When doing conversion *any* format can be used on the sinkpads, and this
is the only way that we can avoid race conditions during renegotiations
so we can not change that fact, we just need to ensure that the chosen
intermediary format is usable, which was not actually ensured before
that patch.
