rtsp thread pool

A GstRTSPThreadPool manages reusable threads for various server tasks. Currently the defined thread types can be found in GstRTSPThreadType.

Threads of type GST_RTSP_THREAD_TYPE_CLIENT are used to handle requests from a connected client. With gst_rtsp_thread_pool_get_max_threads a maximum number of threads can be set after which the pool will start to reuse the same thread for multiple clients.

Threads of type GST_RTSP_THREAD_TYPE_MEDIA will be used to perform the state changes of the media pipelines and handle its bus messages.

gst_rtsp_thread_pool_get_thread can be used to create a GstRTSPThread object of the right type. The thread object contains a mainloop and context that run in a seperate thread and can be used to attached sources to.

gst_rtsp_thread_reuse can be used to reuse a thread for multiple purposes. If all gst_rtsp_thread_reuse calls are matched with a gst_rtsp_thread_stop call, the mainloop will be quit and the thread will stop.

To configure the threads, a subclass of this object should be made and the virtual methods should be overriden to implement the desired functionality.
