This might create deadlocks and we need to avoid holding element
specific lock while posting messages
For example a deadlock will happen if while posting the message,
someone connected on the bus (sync) tries to DOT the pipeline.

Don't re-start the queue push task on the source pad when a
flush-stop event comes in and we're in the process of shutting
down, otherwise that task will never be stopped again.
When the element is set to READY state, the pads get de-activated.
The source pad gets deactivated before the queue's own activate_mode
function on the source pads gets called (which will stop the thread),
so checking whether the pad is active before re-starting the task on
receiving flush-stop should be fine. The problem would happen when the
flush-stop handler was called just after the queue's activate mode
function had stopped the task.

During FLUSH_START the query needs to be unblocked already, otherwise
it can lead to deadlocks if the FLUSH_START is the result of something
done from the streaming thread of the srcpad (the queue will never be
emptied!).
When querying a queue that is flushing we end up adding
a query to the queuearray without taking a reference to
that query (because the normal functionality is to block
until that query is done and discarded from the queue).
This later causes problem if the query is unreffed outside
of the queue before we discard the queue. There is a check
to avoid unreffing any lingering query-objects, but since
the query has been deleted that check fails.
This commit depends on other fixes done to gst_queue_array_find()
and gst_queue_array_drop_element().

Implement the same behaviour as gst_pad_push_event when pushing sticky events
fails, that is don't fail immediately but fail when data flow resumes and upstream
can aggregate properly.
This fixes segment seeks with decodebin and unlinked audio or video branches.

In flush-on-eos=true mode any data remaining in the queue is
discarded when an EOS event is received, and the EOS passed
downstream as soon as possible (instead of waiting for all
buffers in the queue to get processed by downstream first).
May or may not be useful in capture/encoding scenarios.
Only consider the queue empty if the minimum thresholds
are not reached and data is at the queue head. Otherwise
we would block forever on serialized queries.
This also makes sending of serialized events, like caps, happen
faster and potentially improves negotiation performance.
Fixes bug #679458.
Remove the link functions and always start the pad task on the srcpad. If
applications need to autoplug they can put a blocking probe on the srcpad like
they would with any other element.
Add private replacements for deprecated functions such as
g_mutex_new(), g_mutex_free(), g_cond_new() etc., mostly
to avoid the deprecation warnings. We can't change most of
these in 0.10 because they're part of our API and ABI.
Add the pad mode to the activate function so that we can reuse the same function
for all activation modes. This makes the core logic smaller and allows for some
elements to make their activation code easier. It would allow us to add more
scheduling modes later without having to add more activate functions.
