Use thread-safe accesses to pad peers and parent objects. This
fixes some crashers and all the non-safe access patterns I could
spot. There's still some weirdness when using the latency
tracer on pipeline chains that aren't yet linked, but this
at least stops it segfaulting.

For providers that don't support dynamic probing, just fall back to doing
a static one on start() to make the UI developers life easier.
This also means that the monitor doesn't need to call _can_monitor() before
calling start.

In case a plugin filename was renamed with the plugin being in the registry cache
the features were not loaded after the rename:
1) Cache of old/gone filename was loaded, features added
2) New filename was loaded, features where not added because
they were already found in the registry.
3) In the end stale cache entries for files which are no longer there
are removed, including the wanted features.
4) The cache gets updated without the features.
Fix this by also checking at (2) that the found feature is from the loaded plugin
and not from some stale cache entry.
This affected directsoundsink where libgstdirectsoundsink.dll was renamed
to libgstdirectsound.dll, losing the directsoundsink element in the process.

Otherwise the proxy pad of the ghost pad still stays linked to some
element inside the bin, which is not allowed anymore according to the
topology.
In 2.0 this should be fixed more generically from inside GstGhostPad but
currently there is no way to get notified that the ghost pad is
unparented.

CI now checks that plugin caches are up to date, for example
when adding a new property to an element.
This is something pretty easy to forget, and it can be checked
in a pre-commit hook provided the cache generator generates no
unnecessart diff on the developer's machine. This is now the
case for me in core, -base and -good, and eventually all the
repositories should behave appropriately, at least on my
development machine.
The new check in the pre-commit hook is only performed when
the user is in the development environment (it checks
$MESON_BUILD_ROOT to determine that), and when the developer
has opted-in by setting `GST_CACHE_HOOK=enabled`. That is
because the hook will actually rebuild the cache with ninja,
and modify it in the source directory, that's not a behaviour
we want to enable by default.

There is a race-condition that can trigger the assertion in
gst_bus_add_signal_watch_full():
If gst_bus_add_signal_watch_full() is called immediately after
gst_bus_remove_signal_watch() then bus->priv->signal_watch may still be set
because gst_bus_source_dispose() or gst_bus_source_finalize() was not yet
called.
This happens if the corresponding GMainContext has the source queued for
dispatch. In this case, the following dispatch will only unref and delete
the signal_watch because it was already destroyed. Any pending messages
will remain until a new watch is installed.
So bus->priv->signal_watch can be cleared immediately when the watch is
removed. This avoid the race condition.

Instead do everything it did as part of GObject::constructed() and
change the function to always return TRUE.
gst_ghost_pad_construct() was meant to be called by subclasses right
after construction of the object to finish construction as it can fail
in theory. In practice it's impossible for it to fail, even more so if
called directly from GObject::constructed(): The only failure condition
is if the newly created proxy pad already has a parent, which is
impossible at this point as nothing else can have a reference to it.

Since glib 2.64, gthreadpool will start waiting on a GCond immediately upon
creation. This can cause issues if we fork *before* actually using the
threadpool since we will then be signalling that GCond ... from another process
and that will never work.
Instead, delay creationg of thread pools until the very first time we need
them. This introduces a minor (un-noticeable) delay when needing a new thread
but fixes the issues for all users of GSTreamer that will call gst_init, then
fork and actually start pipelines.
