/** An abstract base class for management of Gst::Plugin objects.
 * One registry holds the metadata of a set of plugins.
 *
 * Design:
 *
 * The Gst::Registry object is a list of plugins and some functions for dealing
 * with them. Each Gst::Plugin is matched 1-1 with a file on disk, and may or
 * may not be loaded at a given time.
 *
 * The primary source, at all times, of plugin information is each plugin file
 * itself. Thus, if an application wants information about a particular plugin,
 * or wants to search for a feature that satisfies given criteria, the primary
 * means of doing so is to load every plugin and look at the resulting
 * information that is gathered in the default registry. Clearly, this is a
 * time consuming process, so we cache information in the registry file. The
 * format and location of the cache file is internal to gstreamer.
 *
 * On startup, plugins are searched for in the plugin search path. The
 * following locations are checked in this order:
 *
 *  - location from --gst-plugin-path commandline option.
 *  - the GST_PLUGIN_PATH environment variable.
 *  - the GST_PLUGIN_SYSTEM_PATH environment variable.
 *  - default locations (if GST_PLUGIN_SYSTEM_PATH is not set). Those default
 *    locations are: ~/.gstreamer-$GST_API_VERSION/plugins/ and
 *    $prefix/libs/gstreamer-$GST_API_VERSION/.
 *
 * The registry cache file is loaded from
 * ~/.gstreamer-$GST_API_VERSION/registry-$ARCH.bin or the file listed in the
 * GST_REGISTRY env var. One reason to change the registry location is for
 * testing.
 *
 * For each plugin that is found in the plugin search path, there could be 3
 * possibilities for cached information:
 *
 *  - the cache may not contain information about a given file.
 *  - the cache may have stale information.
 *  - the cache may have current information.
 *
 * In the first two cases, the plugin is loaded and the cache updated. In
 * addition to these cases, the cache may have entries for plugins that are not
 * relevant to the current process. These are marked as not available to the
 * current process. If the cache is updated for whatever reason, it is marked
 * dirty.
 *
 * A dirty cache is written out at the end of initialization. Each entry is
 * checked to make sure the information is minimally valid. If not, the entry
 * is simply dropped.
 *
 * Implementation notes:
 *
 * The "cache" and "registry" are different concepts and can represent
 * different sets of plugins. For various reasons, at init time, the cache is
 * stored in the default registry, and plugins not relevant to the current
 * process are marked with the GST_PLUGIN_FLAG_CACHED bit. These plugins are
 * removed at the end of initialization.
