-Major bugfixes

- but supported video metadata were fixed. This affected d3dvideosink
- and some 3rd party sinks. Also related fixes for crashes when a downstream
- buffer pool failed allocation.
-- Big GL performance improvement on iOS by a factor of 2 by using Apple's sync
- extension.
-- Deadlocks in the DirectSound elements on Windows, and the behaviour of its
- mute property were fixed.
-- The Direct3D video sink does not crash anymore when minimizing the window
-- The library soname generation on Android >= 6.0 was fixed, which previously
- caused GStreamer to fail to load there.
-- File related elements have large-file (>2GB) support on Android now.
-- gst-libav was updated to ffmpeg 2.8.3.
-- Deserialization of custom events in the GDP depayloader was fixed.
-- Missing OpenGL context initialization in the Qt/QML video sink was fixed in
- certain situations.
-- Interoperability with some broken RTSP servers using HTTP tunnel was
- improved.
-- Various compilation fixes for Windows.
-- Various smaller memory leak and other fixes in different places.
-- and many, many more:
