This adds "id" variants to most debugging functions, and allows providing a
string identifier instead of a GObject.
This allows providing unified and clearer debug logs for all the
non-gobject-based items, and opens the way for more unified logging.
As an extension, copying the object name is avoided as much as possible, by
using it directly instead of going through another copy.

When coloring is in use, those escape codes are going to be created many times
for almost all debug lines.
Don't create plenty of temporary allocations, and instead build the escape code
ourselves statically

TLDR: Make `gst_set_threshold_from_string ("", TRUE)` reset *all*
threshold settings, including those set by previous invocations of
`gst_debug_set_threshold_from_string`.
The docs say:
@reset: %TRUE to clear all previously-set debug levels before setting
new thresholds
What actually happens is it sets the default threshold to `ERROR`,
leaves the patterns in place and calls
`gst_debug_category_reset_threshold` on each category.
In effect, any category that is matched by a pattern gets reset to that
threshold if the app changed it by directly invoking
`gst_debug_category_set_threshold`. All other categories are reset to
`ERROR`.
In my opinion this parameter currently has little value, as the same
effect can be achieved by including `ERROR` (without a pattern) in the
string, as in `"foo*:WARNING,*bar:INFO,ERROR"`.
What I actually expect it to do is reset *all* threshold settings,
including those set by previous invocations of
`gst_debug_set_threshold_from_string`, starting off with a clean slate
for the patterns provided with the call.
Otherwise there is no API to do this, besides:
- Painfully removing patterns one-by-one via
`gst_debug_unset_threshold_for_name` *if* you know what the patterns
are.
- Adding a `*:FOO` pattern to affect all categories, which makes the
default threshold useless and practically leaks all the old
patterns.
In my opinion this also makes it fit better into the layers of threshold
config, which is:
1. Temporary:
- `gst_debug_category_set_threshold`
- `gst_debug_category_reset_threshold`
2. Patterns:
- `gst_debug_set_threshold_for_name`
- `gst_debug_unset_threshold_for_name`
- `gst_debug_set_threshold_from_string`
- `GST_DEBUG`
3. Default:
- `gst_debug_set_default_threshold`

We are always building our printf implementation, even when
GST_DEBUG is disabled, since we are exposing api (gst_print*)
that's dependant on our printf behavior.
We don't need to keep __gst_info_fallback_vasprintf around anymore.

This takes a plain message string and not a format string, and as a
result doesn't have to be passed through vasprintf() and lead to further
unnecessary allocations. It can also contain literal `%` because of
that.
The new function is mostly useful for bindings that would have to pass a
full string to GStreamer anyway and would do formatting themselves with
language-specific functionality.
