This can be used to store informational messages, errors or
warnings which can later be shown to the user in gst-inspect-1.0,
which can be useful for plugins that expose elements dynamically
based on external libraries or hardware capabilities.
Status messages can then provide an indication as to why a
plugin doesn't have any elements listed, for example.
Plus unit test to make sure code paths are exercised a little.

On Windows and macOS always use the proper monotonic clock, including
for gst_util_get_timestamp(), and initialize its state only once.
Also on macOS use clock_gettime() for the realtime clock, if available
instead of always falling back to GLib.

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.
