Doing it in gst_play_new() means that bindings that directly call
g_object_new() with the GType wouldn't end up initializing both.
This affects at least the Python and GJS bindings.
gst_init() is nonetheless only called from gst_play_new() once because
calling it from class_init would likely lead to problems as that's
called from somewhere in the middle of GObject.

`on_error()` can be called with a NULL details structure, so in that situation
the `gst_structure_copy()` would raise a critical warning. Create an empty
structure instead of attempting to copy a NULL one.

when play rtsp stream with playbin3 enabled, there are some critical logs:
g_object_get_is_valid_property: object class 'GstPlayBin3' has no property named 'n-video'
g_object_get_is_valid_property: object class 'GstPlayBin3' has no property named 'n-audio'
g_object_get_is_valid_property: object class 'GstPlayBin3' has no property named 'n-text'
self->collection could be NULL when READY->PAUSED if the pipeline
is live, then it will fallback to query playbin2's property,
we can call gst_play_streams_info_create_from_collection
directly, it will check self->collection internal.

Ideally new() functions should simply call g_object_new() and not much
else, so let's do that here and handle all the construction properly in
a GObject way.
Now a play object created via g_object_new() is actually usable.

This is a requirement for GstPlayer when using the default overlay interface
provided by the pipeline. The GstPlayerWrappedVideoRenderer requires a valid
pipeline, but that's available only after the GstPlay thread has successfully
started.
