Previously this was:
* iterating and referencing all plugin features in a GList
* *then* filtering out the ones we want
* Was doing that filtering by name (i.e. `strcmp`) instead of direct pointer
comparision
Instead, just create a private direct function to get the list of plugin
features
Uses 4 times less instructions ...

To allow the refcounting tracer to work better. In childproxy/iterator
these might be plain GObjects but gst_object_unref() also works on them.
In other places where it is never GstObject, g_object_unref() is kept.
When this `_strnlen` internal method was added, strnlen (in glibc)
was not available yet (appeared in 2.10 it was released that same
year).
If available, use the much more optimized strnlen
Use g_object_new() instead which nowadays has a shortcut for the
no-properties check. It still does an extra GType check in the
function guard, but there's a pending patch to remove that
and it's hardly going to be a performance issue in practice,
even less so on a system that's compiled without run-time checks.
Alternative would be to move to the new g_object_new_properties()
with a fallback define for older glib versions, but it makes the
code look more unwieldy and doesn't seem worth it.
Fixes deprecation warnings when building against newer GLib versions.

Implement GstDynamicTypeFactory as a new registry feature.
GstDynamicTypeFactory provides a way of registering a GType
into the registry, such that it will be registered as a dynamic
type when the registry is loaded, and then automatically loaded
if the type is needed during caps parsing.
This allows using non-core types in pad templates, by loading a
registry feature to create the GType on the fly.

Keep tracer base class in tracer and move core support into the utils module.
Add a unstable-api guard to the tracer.h so that external modules would need to
acknowledge the status by setting GST_USE_UNSTABLE_API.
Rename _do_simplify() to _simplify(). The name was introduced as a replacement
method for a deprecated method but we can now rename it again.
Fix some docs.
Make gst_caps_do_simplify() take ownership of the input caps and produce a
simplified output caps. This removes the requirement of having writable input
caps and the method can make the caps writable only when needed.
There are many good use cases for GstIndex and we want
to add it back again in some form, but possibly not with
the current API, which is very powerful (maybe too powerful),
but also a bit confusing. At the very least we'd need to
make the API bindings-friendly.
Instead of checking for valid utf-8 element-details every time we create
elements (from plugin-init or registry), do it before we save the registry.
Fixes#656193.
The feature name is not supposed to change over time anyway. In order to enforce
this parentize features to the registry and make the feature->name pointing to
GstObject:name. In 0.11 we could consider of removing the feature->name variable
(FIXME comment added).
Fixes: #459466
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()
Strings in the binary registry are NUL-terminated, so we can just use them
directly if we only need them temporarily, and avoid unnecessary mallocs
and frees.
