    Add AG_GST_SET_PACKAGE_RELEASE_DATETIME and _DATETIME_WITH_NANO macros for
configure

    Sets GST_PACKAGE_RELEASE_DATETIME, either to the current date and time, or
    to the specified datetime, or to the date of the current release based on
    the .doap file.

    In a GStreamer module context, one could use it like this:
    AG_GST_SET_PACKAGE_RELEASE_DATETIME_WITH_NANO([$PACKAGE_VERSION_NANO],
      ["${srcdir}/$PACKAGE.doap"],
        [$PACKAGE_VERSION_MAJOR.$PACKAGE_VERSION_MINOR.$PACKAGE_VERSION_MICRO])

    binaryregistry: save and load release date time in GstPluginDesc

    https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=623040

commit 8c72758ec241aeb8d401b26515ac66be19737efb

    plugin: add release datetime field to GstPluginDesc and set it if
GST_PACKAGE_RELEASE_DATETIME is defined

    This is a string describing a date and/or date/time in a simple subset of
    the ISO-8601 format, namely either "YYYY-MM-DD" or "YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MMZ"
(with
    'T' the date/time separator and the 'Z' indicating UTC).

    The main purpose of this field is to keep track of plugin and element
versions
    on an absolute timeline, so it's possible to determine which one is newer
when
    comparing two date time numbers. This will allow us to express
'replaces'-type
    relationships betweeen plugins and element factories in future, even across
    different modules and plugin merges or splits (source module version
numbers
    aren't particularly useful here, since they can only meaningfully be
compared
    within the same module). It also allows applications and libraries to
reliably
    check that a plugin is recent enough without making assumptions about
modules
    or module versions.

    We use a string here to keep things simple and clear, esp. on the build
system
    side of things.
