basetransform: Be smarter with pad allocs

Browse source 
Avoid doing unnecessary pad-allocs when on passthrough mode.
If multiple basetransform elements are on a pipeline, they
would do a pad-alloc for each received buffer, each element
would do this, so we would have lots of pad allocs on the
pipeline for a single buffer being pushed through it.

This patch attempts to reduce this amount by avoiding
doing pad-allocs if the element has already done it
after the last pushed buffer. So it will only be allowed
to do a new pad-alloc after it has pushed a buffer, so we get
1x1 pad-alloc and buffer ratio

/*
* This flag controls if basetransform should explicitly
* do a pad alloc when it receives a buffer even if it operates on
* passthrough, this is needed to check for downstream caps suggestions
* and this newly alloc'ed buffer is discarded.
*
* Without this flag basetransform would try a pad alloc whenever it
* gets a new buffer and pipelines like:
* "src ! basetrans1 ! basetrans2 ! basetrans3 ! sink"
* Would have a 3 pad allocs for each buffer pushed downstream from the src.
*
* This flag is set to TRUE on start up, on setcaps and when a buffer is
* pushed downstream. It is set to FALSE after a pad alloc has been requested
* downstream.
* The rationale is that when a pad alloc flows through the pipeline, all
* basetransform elements on passthrough will avoid pad alloc'ing when they
* get the buffer.
