rtspsrc: Fix accumulation of before-send signal return values

Since glib 2.62, the accumulated return values in RUN_CLEANUP override the
accumulated return values in RUN_FIRST. Since:

1. We have a default handler that always returns TRUE, and
2. User handlers are only run in RUN_FIRST, and
3. Our accumulator just takes the latest return value

We were discarding the return value from the user handler and always
sending messages even if the user handler said not to. See
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/issues/2352 for more details.

This signal does not need RUN_CLEANUP or RUN_FIRST, so just change it
to RUN_LAST so that it's emitted exactly once and accumulated once.

With this fix, this signal can now be used to intercept PAUSE when
going to GST_STATE_NULL so that the server does a TEARDOWN (if
necessary) and not a PAUSE, which will confuse other RTSP clients when
playing shared media.

* NOTE: rtspsrc will send a PAUSE command to the server if you set the

* the PLAYING state.
*
* Unfortunately, going to the NULL state involves going through PAUSED, so
* rtspsrc does not know the difference and will send a PAUSE when you wanted
