ci: include template from gst-ci master branch again

Back to development

Release 1.18.0

Revert "Revert "launcher: add webrtcbin datachannel tests to valgrind skip list""

This reverts commit ff79af843bc40a554795ee2a0682cfd12272dd24.

Looks like most of these are still problematic and flaky in valgrind,
so re-add to skiplist for now.

Revert "launcher: add webrtcbin datachannel tests to valgrind skip list"

launcher: add webrtcbin datachannel tests to valgrind skip list

They were previously not run because the sctp plugin wasn't built
but they will be run now that we bundle libusrsctp.

validate: silence g-ir-scanner warnings about GST_IS_VALIDATE_*

Which it complains about because we say our prefix is 'gst_validate'
so it should really be GST_VALIDATE_IS_* instead.

Hide the boilerplate defines from g-ir-scanner, it doesn't need
to process them.

Change gir namespace and symbol prefix from

gst_validate_action_set_done is the place where we should finalize the
action, not in `execute_next`, this way we better handle printing
interlaced action finalization too.

validate:scenario: Replace the `sub-action` with a `foreach` action type

Sub-actions were really hard to use and conceptually weird. The
implementation was ugly and made the code complex for nothing.

Instead this commit introduces a `foreach` action type which allows
repeating actions passed in an `actions` array the number of time
specified by any `GstIntRange` value defined in the structure or its
`repeat` field.

This commit also makes sure that all action got through
gst_validate_action_set_done upon finalization.

launcher: Limit copies of massive debug logs in markdown file

When debugging is activated, we could end up with log files ranging in the
multi-megabyte or even gigabyte range. Copying those is expensive from a cpu/io
point of view in addition to clobbering the storage.

Instead of always copying those files, check if they are smaller than 500kB. If
not, don't copy them and instead provide a link to their location.

Fixes #52

Part-of: <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-devtools/-/merge_requests/203>

validateflow: Allow specifying checksum type

And add an extra mode 'checksum-as-id' which basically numerate
buffers checksums as they are being received so that it is simpler

regenerating them or setting `validateflow,generate-expectations=false`

scenario: Minor cleanup around pipeline change state management

Part-of: <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-devtools/-/merge_requests/198>

scenario: Mark seek as done only when reaching next state

There is a race where following actions could generate a
flush-start/flush-stop dance but the state change resulting from the
seek hasn't been committed yet, leading to the ASYNC_START being
ignored by GstBin since its pending_state is not VOID when receiving
the ASYNC_START message.

Conceptually it is totally correct to consider an action done when
the state change of the pipeline is stabilized..
