The new code was checking for a prefix, and would find video/
first. Check in two passes, first checking for a perfect match,
and falling back to a prefix check if nothing was found.

The fact that a decoder is not compatible with the fixed sink
is currently happenning in the case where we have hardware accelerated
video decoders on the system (especially vaapi elements that are actually plugged),
and the user is providing a sink that doesn't support the surface.
A simple example that shows how it used to crash on a system where gstreamer-vaapi
is installed:
gst-launch playbin2 video-sink=xvimagesink uri=/codec/supported/by/vaapi
What we are now doing in this case, is avoid using the accelerated
decoder and plug a "normal" decoder instead (if avalaible).
This commit doesn't handle the case where we have hardware accelerated
demuxing.
This reverts commit b0b4e286c8.
We agreed that the previous (pre-.35) behaviour is broken and a bug and the
current behaviour is correct, deterministic and allows the application to
handle stuff properly while the old behaviour can't be handled properly by
applications and just worked in some applications by luck.
The solution to the problem that was solved by relying on the old, broken
behaviour would be, to make decodebin2/playbin2 more aware of decoders and
improve the autoplugging of decoders by considering the caps supported by the
sink instead of just using something with the highest rank.
See bug #656923.
Fixes regression since 0.10.33 where sinks that can cope with non raw
caps or custom caps are not autoplugged if there's a sink configured
with the properties video-sink and audio-sink which cannot handle
the stream. This change checks for compatibility on the configured one
and use it if success. Otherwhise it tries with the found factories.
Only log in debug log for now, since the check is a bit
half-hearted, its purpose is mostly to make sure people
use gst_filename_to_uri() or g_filename_to_uri().

When we don't have specific {audio|video|text}-sink properties, don't
set them on playsink when reconfiguring.
If we do that, we end up setting the previous configured sink to
GST_STATE_NULL resulting in any potentially pending push being returned
with GST_FLOW_WRONG_STATE which will cause the upstream elements to
silently stop.

This is especially needed when switching between a non-sparse and sparse
video stream, see bug #537382. It also lowers the time needed for switching
between streams a bit.
Before playbin2 would use different selectors for raw audio and
compressed audio (and the same for video) and used different
pads from playsink. This made the involved logic much more
complex and was not implemented completely in playsink, which
made it impossible to support files with a compressed and
uncompressed stream that is support by the sink.
playbin2 handles raw/non-raw streams the same now and the
decision is left to playsink, which now can also handle
caps changes from raw to non-raw and the other way around.
Fixes bug #632788.
In addition to ensuring that an element we want to select in
autoplug-select can enter the READY state, we also now check if it can
accept the caps we wish to plug it for. This is handy for sinks that
need to perform a probe to figure out whether they can actually handle a
given format.
