GstTensor contained two fields (data, dims) that were dynamicallay allocated. For
data it's for a GstBuffer and we have pool for efficient memory management. For
dims it's a small array to store the dimension of the tensor. The dims field
can be allocated inplace by moving it at the end of the structure. This will
allow a better memory management when GstTensor is stored in an analytics meta
which will take advantage of the _clear interface for re-use.
- New api to allocate and free GstTensor
To continue to support use-cases where GstTensor is not stored in an
analytics-meta we provide gst_tensor_alloc, gst_tensor_alloc_n and
gst_tensor_free that will facilitate memory management.
- Make GstTensor a boxed type
