Alex Ashley abdafb0d64 protection: add GstProtectionMeta to support protected content
In order to support some types of protected streams (such as those
protected using DASH Common Encryption) some per-buffer information
needs to be passed between elements.

This commit adds a GstMeta type called GstProtectionMeta that allows
protection specific information to be added to a GstBuffer. An example
of its usage is qtdemux providing information to each output sample
that enables a downstream element to decrypt it.

This commit adds a utility function to select a supported protection
system from the installed Decryption elements found in the registry.
The gst_protection_select_system function that takes an array of
identifiers and searches the registry for a element of klass Decryptor that
supports one or more of the supplied identifiers. If multiple elements
are found, the one with the highest rank is selected.

This commit adds a unit test for the gst_protection_select_system
function that adds a fake Decryptor element to the registry and then
checks that it can correctly be selected by the utility function.

This commit adds a unit test for GstProtectionMeta that creates
GstProtectionMeta and adds & removes it from a buffer and performs some
simple reference count checks.

Building GStreamer on Windows
-----------------------------

Running GStreamer on Windows is currently experimental, but improving.

Building on MinGW/MSys
----------------------
Should work out of the box from the toplevel directory using the standard
Unix build system provided.

This build type is fairly well supported.

Building with Visual Studio 6
-----------------------------
The directory vs6/ contains the workspaces needed to build GStreamer from
Visual Studio.

This build type is fairly well supported.

Building with Visual Studio 7
-----------------------------
vs7/ contains the files needed, but they haven't been updated since the
0.8 series.

This build is currently unsupported.

The common/ directory contains support files that can be shared between
these two versions of Visual Studio.
