The buffer, in the writable case, needs to be actually writable (i.e.
refcount 1) and this was previously not ensured.
Also it caused some API mismatch when trying to use it e.g. as part of
basetransform's `transform_ip()` virtual method.

The `links` annotation in `Cargo.toml` is intended to ensure that in the
crate graph there's at most one crate that's an implementation of
some sort concept.
This can make sense in some scenarios, most prominent of which is when
the crate defines `#[no_mangle]` symbols (e.g. by compiling a vendored C
library.) In that situation linking a binary that depends on two
versions of the library cannot work because of colliding symbol names.
There does not appear to be a similar reason to impose such a
restriction on the users of `gstreamer-sys` and similar, however. All of
these crates link to a system library, they do not define any
`#[no_mangle]` symbols nor they vendor and build C libraries as part of
their build process. All they do is linking to a system library. Most
likely all the different versions of the bindings will link to the exact
same library too.
I haven't seen any global resources that these bindings use to ensure
soundness of the library, either.
This version adds a `--strip-docs` flag to `generator.py`, used in
conjunction with `--strip-docs --embed-docs` to clean documentation
first before re-embedding it (otherwise the same text would show up
multiple times). It is also used in the CI to check that no
documentation disappears on stripping, ie. all documentation is properly
annotated with `// rustdoc-stripper-ignore-next`.
For cleanliness the prelude module only needs to reexport preludes from
direct, "top-most" crates, which themselves take care of reexporting
preludes from its dependencies again. This shaves off some code while
maintaining the same set of exports.
