pad: rework sticky events a little

Update the design docs with some clear rules for how sticky events are
handled.
Reimplement the sticky tags, use a small structure to hold the event and its
current state (active or inactive).
Events on sinkpads only become active when the event function returned success
for the event.
When linking, only update events that are different.
Avoid making a copy of the event array, use the object lock to protect the event
array and release it only to call the event function. This will need to check
if something changed, later.
Disable a test in the unit test, it can't work yet.

* not yet implemented, under investigation, might be needed to do still frames
in DVD.
src pads
--------
A gst_pad_push_event() on a srcpad will first store the event in the sticky
array before sending the event to the peer pad. If there is no peer pad, the
gst_pad_push_event() function returns NOT_LINKED.
Note that the behaviour is not influenced by a flushing pad.
sink pads
---------
A gst_pad_send_event() on a sinkpad will put the event into the pending array of
sticky tags.
When the pad is flushing, the _send_event() function returns WRONG_STATE.
When the pad is not flushing, the event function is called for all sticky events
in the pending array. If the event function returns success, the event is moved
to the sticky array. If the event function returns failure, the event is removed
from the pending array.
This ensures that the event function is never called for flushing pads and that
the sticky array only contains events for which the event function returned
success.
pad link
--------
When linking pads, all the sticky events from the srcpad are copied to the
pending array on the sinkpad. The events will be sent to the event function of
the sinkpad on the next event or buffer.
