The default values were not being set on element initialization. This
was a problem for buffer_duration and buffer_size since they would be
zero initialized, rather then being set to -1. This would cause the
underlaying queue2 element to have no limits and depending on the
streamed file, could cause queue2 to allocate massive amounts of memory.
In decodebin3 and uridecodebin3 the `force-sw-decoders` boolean property is
added. In uridecodebin3 it is only a proxy property which will forward
the value to decodebin3.
When decodebin3 has `force-sw-decoders` disabled, it will filter out in its
decoder and decodable factories those elements within the 'Hardware'
class, at reconfiguring output stream.
playbin3 adds by default GST_PLAY_FLAG_FORCE_SW_DECODERS, and sets
`force-sw-decoders` property accordingly to its internal uridecodebin, also
filters out the 'Hardware' class decoder elements when caps
negotiation.
By passing NULL to `g_signal_new` instead of a marshaller, GLib will
actually internally optimize the signal (if the marshaller is available
in GLib itself) by also setting the valist marshaller. This makes the
signal emission a bit more performant than the regular marshalling,
which still needs to box into `GValue` and call libffi in case of a
generic marshaller.
Note that for custom marshallers, one would use
`g_signal_set_va_marshaller()` with the valist marshaller instead.

* decodebin3 and playbin3 have the same purpose as the decodebin and
playbin elements, except make usage of more 1.x features and the new
GstStream API. This allows them to be more memory/cpu efficient.
* parsebin is a new element that demuxers/depayloads/parses an incoming
stream and exposes elementary streams. It is used by decodebin3.
It also automatically creates GstStream and GstStreamCollection for
elements that don't natively create them and sends the corresponding
events and messages
* Any application using playbin can use playbin3 by setting the env
variable USE_PLAYBIN3=1 without reconfiguration/recompilation.
