Mathieu Duponchelle 12639aad34 docs: standardize GstBufferPool documentation
* Don't repeat what annotations are stating with respect to ownership
  transfer, nullability

* Document virtual methods in standalone comments, so that parameters
  can be documented. This is functionally useful here, as parameters
  require annotations, and should make the class more usable by
  bindings.

* Misc cleanup / typo fixes / addition of links
