GstFlagSet is a new type designed for negotiating sets
of boolean capabilities flags, consisting of a 32-bit
flags bitfield and 32-bit mask field. The mask field
indicates which of the flags bits an element needs to have
as specific values, and which it doesn't care about.
This allows efficient negotiation of arrays of boolean
capabilities.
The standard serialisation format is FLAGS:MASK, with
flags and mask fields expressed in hexadecimal, however
GstFlagSet has a gst_register_flagset() function, which
associates a new GstFlagSet derived type with an existing
GFlags gtype. When serializing a GstFlagSet with an
associated set of GFlags, it also serializes a human-readable
form of the flags for easier debugging.
It is possible to parse a GFlags style serialisation of a
flagset, without the hex portion on the front. ie,
+flag1/flag2/flag3+flag4, to indicate that
flag1 & flag4 must be set, and flag2/flag3 must be unset,
and any other flags are don't-care.

Don't unwrap strings that start but don't finish with a double quote. If a
string is delimited by two quotes we unescape them and any special characters
in the middle (like \" or \\). If the first character or the last character
aren't a quote we assume it's part of an unescaped string.
Moved some deserialize_string unit tests because we don't try to unwrap strings
missing that second quote anymore.

Use some macros to make our value functions setup a bit
tidier, and micro-optimise a few reallocs by setting an
initial size for the global type arrays.
When serializing GstStructures from events in GDP it will add a taglist
as a GstStructure field, having the compare function allows comparison of
GstStructures to check if the serialized/deserialized version matches the
original one, among other cases.

* GstGlobalDeviceMonitor was renamed to GstDeviceMonitor
* Expand GST_MESSAGE_DEVICE to the full enum value names
* Correct the incorrect references to the GstDeviceProvider interfaces
* Describe caps arguments for gstcheck interface
* Add missing docs for GstNetAddressMeta and its add function
* Add docs for toc helper macros
* Avoid refering to GstValueList type as done elsewhere

Support for (nullable) was added to G-I at the same time as nullable
return values. Previous versions of G-I will not mark return values as
nullable, even when an (allow-none) annotation is present, so it is
not necessary to add (allow-none) annotations for compatibility with
older versions of G-I.

Currently we leak the internal representation of them as two GValues that
contain a fraction. Without this we could store fraction ranges as
data[0] = (min_n << 32) | (min_d)
data[1] = (max_n << 32) | (max_d)
and wouldn't require an additional allocation per range.
Otherwise negative values will sets all of the 64 bits due to two's
complement's definition of negative values.
Also add a test for negative int ranges.
Both gst_value_intersect and gst_value_subtract will call
gst_value_compare if one of their arguments isn't a list.
gst_value_compare will then re-do a check to see if one of
the arguments is a list (for the special case of comparing a unitary
value with a list of length 1).
The problem is that the various G_VALUE_HOLDS represent an expensive
amount of calling gst_value_compare (almost half of it) to see if
the provided arguments are list. These checks can be done without
when we know that the arguments aren't lists.
* Create a new "nolist" gst_value_compare which avoids that special
case comparision
Benchmarks:
valgrind/callgrind: average speedup in instruction calls for
gst_value_intersect and gst_value_subtract is around 56% (Makes 63%
of the calls it used to take previously)
tests/benchmarks/capsnego: With default settings (depth 4, children 3
607 elements), time taken for transition from READY to PAUSED:
Before : 00.391519153
After : 00.220397492
56% of the time previously used, +77% speedup

They are very confusing for people, and more often than not
also just not very accurate. Seeing 'last reviewed: 2005' in
your docs is not very confidence-inspiring. Let's just remove
those comments.
The step can end up being zero if the underlying value isn't a valid
range GValue.
In those cases, return FALSE.
We don't use g_return*_if_fail since it will already have been triggered
by the above-mentionned _get_step() functions.

Spotted by Coverity.
Checking twice the lower bound is great (you never know, it might change
between the two calls by someone using emacs butterfly-mode), but it's a bit
more useful to check the higher bound are also identical.

* add many missing declarations to sections
* GstController has been removed, update docs
* skip GstIndex when generating documentation
* rephrase so gtkdoc doesn't imagine return value
* add missing argument description for gst_context_new()
* document GstOutputSelectorPadNegotiationMode and move to header-file

Wrap caps strings so that it can handle serialization and deserialization
of caps inside caps. Otherwise the values from the internal caps are parsed
as if they were from the upper one

API: gst_value_array_append_and_take_value
API: gst_value_list_append_and_take_value
We were already using this internally, this makes it public for code
which frequently appends values which are expensive to copy (like
structures, arrays, caps, ...).
Avoids copies of the values for users. The passed GValue will also
be 0-memset'ed for re-use.
New users can replace this kind of code:
gst_value_*_append_value(mycontainer, &myvalue);
g_value_unset(&myvalue);
by:
gst_value_*_append_and_take_value(mycontainer, &myvalue);
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=701632
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.
Set operations on the bitmasks don't make much sense and result
in invalid caps when used as a channel-mask. They are now handled
exactly like integers.
This functionality was not used anywhere except for tests.

Avoid unnecessary value copying, and unnecessary init/unset
cycles which all go through the value table. There's a bunch
of places where we copy a value and then unset it in the next
line, instead of just taking over the source value.
Fixes negotiation taking a ridiculous amount of
time (multiple 10s of seconds on a core2) when
there are duplicate entries in lists.
Could have a negative performance impact on other
scenarios because we now have to iterate the
dest list to avoid duplicates, but we don't
have a lot of lists any more these days, and
they tend to be small anyway. The negatives
are hopefully countered by the positive effects
of reducing the list length early on in the
process. And in any case, it's the right thing
to do.
Based on patch by Andre Moreira Magalhaes.

So we can serialise/deserialise taglists inside structures,
which used to work automagically before because GstTagList
was just a typedef to GstStructure (same for the GType),
but now that it's a separate GType we need to register
explicit functions for this.
Helps with GDP stuff in pipelines/streamheader tests.
