The 'new-pref' property sets the preference to use the new (next)
instead of the old (previous) buffer. The default is set to 0.5 to get
a similar behaviour as before the change.
Value 0.0 makes sure that only frames are shown where it's known that
the frame content is visible at that time, always show the old frame
until the new frame timestamp is reached.
Then, if the next buffer replaces the previous buffer the new buffer
is pushed as often as possible until PTS is reached. Before the new
buffer was only pushed once the new next buffer arrived.
Use GstClockTimeDiff because it's known that the current buffer time
is inside the time interval of previous buffer and next buffer the
calculation can be done with building absolute values. Special macros
are not needed here.

With this patch, configure time is identical no matter whether doc is
enabled or not.
The configuration files also now contain explicitly-listed sources with
no wildcards.
For the four libraries where hotdoc needs to use clang to generate the
documentation (as opposed to the rest of the libraries where hotdoc uses
the gir), the script will call pkg-config to determine the appropriate
C flags.
This means a side effect of this patch is that pkg-config files are now
generated for the gstadaptivedemux and gstopencv libraries.

The gst_dep.get_variable('libexecdir') may fail in some scenarios
(e.g. building a module alone inside an uninstalled devenv) and
it shouldn't really be reached in the first place if docs are
disabled via options.
Also to avoid confusing meson messages when cross-compiling or
doing a static build.

videoscale does not have convert function, so remove the convert
description in it's classification. Otherwise, if we want use
autovideoconvert to convert colorsapce, autovideoconvert will select
videoscale to do convert and this will cause to fail.

When measuring video latency, one mechanism involves taking a photo
with a camera of two screens showing the test video overlayed with
timeoverlay or clockoverlay. In these cases, if the display's pixel
response time is crappy, you will see ghosting due to which it can be
quite difficult to discern what the current timestamp being shown is.
This commit adds a property that *also* shows the timestamp in
a different (sequentially predictable) location every frame, which
makes it easy to tell what the latest rendered timestamp is.
For bonus points, you can also use the fade-time of the previous frame
to measure with sub-framerate accuracy when the photo was taken, not
just clamped to the framerate, giving you a higher precision latency
value.

Some subtitle "decoders" had a wrong category of "Parser", which `parsebin`
relies on to identify elements which do not *decode* streams but *parse* them.
This would cause such subtitle decoders to be plugged in within parsebin,
preventing the original stream to be properly used by (more efficient)
downstream decoders or subtitle renderers.

The fake video decoder ignores input bitstream except
to enforce caps restrictions. It reads video width,
height and framerate from caps. Then it just pushes
video frames without doing any decoding.
The fake video decoder just draws a snake moving from
left to right in the middle of the frame. This is a
light weight drawing while it still provides an idea
about how smooth is the rendering.
The fake video decoder inherits from GstVideoDecoder.
It is useful to measure how smooth will be the whole
rendering pipeline if you had the most efficient video
decoder. Also useful to bisect issues for example when
suspecting issues in a specific video decoder.
Handles mpeg2, mpeg4, h263, h264, theora, vp8, wmv3, msmpeg,
flash-video, vp6, vp9, wmv1, wmv2, divx but more can be
added if needed.
For now it can only output RGBA, RGBx, BGRA, BGRx.
Its rank is 0 (none) but I added a property to change it so
that it can be selected by decodebin.

Back in the mists of time[1], we switched `giostream*` elements to not close the
stream on stop() so that applications that needed a handle to the stream after
the element stopped had it.
Unfortunately, we also have cases[2] where waiting for the element to be
finalized is too late for the stream to be closed.
In order to not change the behaviour of the element, we add a property to allow
users to select the desired behaviour.
