While the suspend modes NONE and PAUSED provided a low startup latency
for connecting clients they did not ensure that streams started on
fresh data.
With this property we can maintain the low startup latency of those
suspend modes while also ensuring that a stream starts on a key unit.
Furthermore, by modifying the value of a new property,
ensure-keyunit-on-start-timeout, it is possible to accept a keyunit of
a certain age but discard it if too much time has passed and instead
force a new keyunit.

Previously it was possible that a shared media was just in the process
of being unprepared because the last client disappeared, while another
client retrieved it from the cache and then tried to use it. Unless the
media was reusable this would've then failed unnecessarily.
To avoid this it is necessary to lock the media directly in
gst_rtsp_media_factory_construct() and return a locked media. After
locking the cached media it is necessary to check if the media was ever
unprepared or is actually reusable and based on that either reuse it or
create a new media.
This minimally changes the gst_rtsp_media_factory_construct() API to
always return a locked media, and adds a new
gst_rtsp_media_can_be_shared() function to check if a media can actually
be shared in practice.

The idea is to give the application the possibility to adjust the error
code when responding to a request. For that purpose the pipeline's bus
messages are emitted to subscribers through a signal handle-message.
The subscribers can then check those messages for errors and adjust
the response error code by overriding the virtual method
adjust_error_code().

Previously suspended medias immediately reached the UNPREPARED state
without going through the media's unprepare() vfunc. This didn't allow
the media subclass to do any additional cleanup, and for example the
shutdown-eos property of GstRTSPMedia was ignored.
