We are not supposed to redraw until we receive a frame callback and this
is especially useful to avoid allocating too many buffers while the
window is not visible, because the compositor may not call wl_buffer.release
until the window becomes visible (ok, this is a wayland bug, but...).
This is achieved by adding an extra reference on the buffers, which does
not allow them to return to the pool. When they are released, this reference
is dropped.
The rest complexity of this patch (hash table, mutex, flag, explicit release calls)
merely exists to allow a safe, guaranteed and deadlock-free destruction sequence.
See the added comment on gstwaylandsink.c for details.
start() makes sure that the minimum ammount of buffers requested is allocated.
stop() makes sure that buffers are actually destroyed and prevents
filling the file system when resizing the surface a lot, because the
wayland-shm-* files will stay on the file system as long as the wl_buffers
created out of them are alive.
This is the initial implementation, without the GstVideoOverlay.expose()
method. It only implements using an external (sub)surface and resizing
it with GstWaylandVideo.
The reference to the sink is not really needed anyway in waylandpool,
what matters basically is that the display is active as long as the
pool is active, so we really want to reference the display object
instead of the sink.
* make use of GstBufferPool::start/stop functions to allocate/deallocate memory
* get rid of struct shm_pool and do all operations cleanly inside WaylandBufferPool
* store a GstVideoInfo during configuration instead of the width & height
and use the stride from the video info instead of hardcoding its value
Wayland interface could offer two buffers pixels formats: WL_SHM_FORMAT_XRGB8888 and WL_SHM_FORMAT_ARGB8888.
Update waylandsink to support them and check if the format is really available.

Defer certain canvas particulars to the player (or the Wayland
compositor). Before this change, a fullscreen canvas was always
requested. This may not be desirable in all cases.

- bump wayland version to 0.95.0 which will lead to stable 1.0 release
- avoid memcopy and use propose_allocation for GstBufferPool allocation
- using WaylandBufferPool
- shm: Allocate shm buffers through new wl_shm_pool interface
(the shm buffer allocation is a two step process now: first
allocate a wl_shm_pool, then allocate a buffer from the pool)
