C API example outdated

[lars18th]

Hi,

I like to start to include the srt library in one C project. So, I'm checking the apps/testcapi.c example. However, this file is outdated. It doesn't compile. I can prepare a simple patch for fix the compilation; however it still doesn't run (because a crash dump).

My suggestion, if you agree, it's this:

• Create a new directory examples for put in it C and C++ API examples.
• Move the apps/testcapi.c to examples/testcapi.c and add a simple build script and a readme.
• Upgrade the example to a more detailed source. For example, using the proposed Test C API server #21
• Add to the compilation of the package the testing of these examples, but only for checks linking to the libsrt.so/a (remove after end).
• Improve the documentation about how to use the library in C and C++ projects.

What you think?

I'm currently working on that and yes, that's a correct suggestion. I think there will be also more examples, some simple programs that users can play with.

#270 Is provided with fixes in the testapi.c file; it's also moved to "examples" directory.

Test for linking should be well enough done when linking the official applications.

The documentation should be provided in docs/API.md file.

Hi @ethouris ,

Good work! However, some conflicts exist. I do a comment in the PR regarding lost changes in the movement of source files. #270 (comment)

I'll review in more detail in the next days.
