With these additions, frontends can now call libsigrokdecode API
functions from different threads without running into threading issues.
The backend releases the GIL when it is performing tasks that might take
a while and it doesn't need to run Python/C API calls during that time.
This allows frontends to run multiple PD stacks (in multiple frontend
threads) "at the same time" in a time-sharing, "interlocked" manner.
Whenever one of the decoders is inside e.g. self.wait() it releases the
GIL and thus allows other decoders to do some work in the mean time.
The user-visible effect is that for use-cases such as running 3 different
decoder stacks at the same time for an acquisition, the user will not
have to wait for PD 1 to finish decoding, then wait for PD 2 to finish
decoding, and only *then* being able to see annotations from PD 3.
Instead, all three PDs will decode some chunks of data from time to
time, thus the user is able to inspect annotations from all 3 PDs while
the acquisition and decoding is still going on.

All decoders must be of PD API version 3 now.

This allows frontends to set the assumed initial pins (i.e., the assumed
state of the pins before the first sample of a capture) to user-specified
values.
The assumed initial pins can be either low, or high, or "use same value
as the first sample of the capture".
The special self.initial_pins decoder attribute is now removed.

Add support to terminate blocking .wait() and .decode() method calls of
v3 decoder instances. This terminates the decoder thread's main routine
and allows to release associated resources. Cope with requested as well
as unexpected termination of decode() calls. Add debug messages to
thread related code paths.
Make sure to unblock the main thread which feeds the decoder thread.
This unbreaks situations where decoders e.g. throw "need samplerate to
decode" exceptions.
Drain Python errors which might remain from the most recent .decode()
execution, to not affect other code paths. This avoids an issue where
the creation of a new decoder instance fails in the presence of errors
from a previous run.
This fixes bug #902.

This validates the requirements that
* abs_start_samplenum continues where the previous decode ended
* abs_end_samplenum is not lower than abs_start_samplenum
Failure to meet these requirements will make v3 decoders crash.

The Decoder_wait() routine will populate the .matched attribute before
returning to the caller. The srd_inst_start() routine used to setup a
.matches attribute which is unexpected. Make both routines consistently
assign to 'matched' as that is what Python decoder implementations are
referencing.

../instance.c: In function ‘srd_inst_find_by_id’:
../instance.c:485:3: warning: suggest parentheses around assignment used as truth value [-Wparentheses]
if (di = srd_inst_find_by_id_stack(inst_id, tmp))
^~

srd_inst_find_by_id() previously only searched for instance IDs at the
bottom of any stacked decoders. Make it properly search all stacks,
just like srd_inst_find_by_obj() and more usefully when trying to
generate unique instance IDs.
No external API change, only the explicit behaviour of the API.
This fixes parts of bug #868.

srd_inst_new() used the decoder ID as the instance ID, preventing the use
of multiple instances of the same decoder in the same session. Simply
append a numerical suffix to later instances to allow more.
Required changes to cleanup to reliably free all memory. Valgrind checked.
This fixes parts of bug #868.

For the time being, both APIs (2 and 3) will remain supported until all
decoders have been converted to API version 3. Then, support for API
version 2 will be dropped.
Decoders using PD v3 API can benefit from both readability improvements
as well as performance improvements. Up to 10x speedup has been measured
in some situations (depends a lot on the decoder, the amount of data,
the amount of edges in the signals, the amount of oversampling etc. etc.).
This is only the first set of (basic) performance improvements for
libsigrokdecode, there are various additional opportunities for further
changes to improve performance.
This changeset has been tested to survive a run of all the test-cases in
the sigrok-test repo without issues (for the converted PDs), however it is
not very well-tested yet, so there might be regressions that need to be
addressed.

Also, drop @since tag (as the function is not public).

Limit usage of the Python C API to the stable ABI subset as defined
by PEP 384. This removes some type definitions and functions which
libsigrokdecode made use of. Convert all affected code to suitable
API alternatives. Also fix a few leaks that became apparent while
working on the code.
The most visible change is that PyTypeObject is now an opaque type.
Thus, the custom Decoder and srd_logic types are now created on the
heap via an alternative API. Unfortunately, since tp_name is now
inaccessible, type names had to be removed from the log output.
Stack traces after Python exceptions are now formatted by calling
into Python, since the trace object C API is no longer available.

Since Autoconf places some important feature flags only into the
configuration header, it is necessary to include it globally to
guarantee a consistent build.

Don't pass unitsize to srd_inst_channel_set_all(), have that only
set the channel map. Instead, srd_session_send() now has a parameter
for the unitsize which is passed with every new chunk to be decoded.
This is in preparation to fix issues with devices or files which
have a unitsize != 1 and where the "guessed" unitsize based on the
number of channels is not correct.
This also allows for (potential) future changes where every chunk can
indeed have a different unitsize.
This fixes (parts of) bug #352.

Use g_malloc*() for small allocations and assume they always
succeed. Simplify error handling in a few places accordingly.
Document the rules in the README file.

This prevents Python.h from being included into client code, where
it can mess things up by e.g. redefining _POSIX_C_SOURCE.

Variables of type 'struct srd_channel *' are consistently named 'pdch' to
make them easily distinguishable from libsigrok's 'struct sr_channel *'
variables that are consistently named 'ch'.

Each option consists of a dictionary with the following keys:
id The option id, which is passed in when setting a value.
desc A description of the option, suitable for display.
def The default value for this option.
values (optional) If present, a tuple containing values the option
may take. They must be of the same type as the default.
Valid types for the options are UTF-8-encoded strings, integers, and
floating point values.
