When linking source pads to decodebin, make sure we use the *specified* new
source pad and not some random one.
This avoids ending up with source pads being unlinked.
Main cause of random timeouts with rtsp change_state_intensive validate tests

Added `force-sw-decoders` boolean property in decodebin2 and
uridecodebin. By default the property is %FALSE and it bypass the new
code. Otherwise the factory list is filtered removing decoders
within 'Hardware' class.
uridecodebin sets the `force-sw-decoders` property in its internal
decodebin, and also filters out Hardware class in the
autoplug-factories default signal handler.
playbin2 adds by default GST_PLAY_FLAG_FORCE_SW_DECODERS it its flags
property, and depending on it playbin2 sets the `force-sw-decoders`
property on its internal uridecodebin, also filters out the Hardware
class decoding decoders at the autoplug-factories signal handler.
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.
Protocols that are in the stream_uris list should always
be streams, no matter what they respond to the scheduling
query. The flag in the scheduling query is just another
way to declare something that needs buffering without the
whitelist, the absence of the flag shouldn't make us ignore
our known protocol list.
Also set is_stream always to a boolean and not a mask value.
As expected by the property getter.
Basically there are cases where we can be getting the source from
any thread and in another thread bring back the element from PAUSED
to READY, which leads to a critical warning (or worse).
The only place where we use `->source` outside the property getter is
the change_state function so the current way of setting/reading it
should be safe.
This makes it possible for GstDiscoverer to work with sources that
have multiple source pads and hence will trigger the creation of multiple
decodebin instances such as rtspsrc.

The "iradio-mode" property used to have a default FALSE value in HTTP
source elements but now it should default to TRUE or just do not exist
as a property so it is not really needed to set it any more in
uridecodebin.
Apart from that this code could've never worked as uridecodebin looks for a
string-typed iradio-mode property, but it's a boolean in all sources.

We now add all our elements to uridecodebin *after*
GstBin::change_state(READY->PAUSED), so we need to post async-start
and async-done messages ourselves if we want to work async.

When playing RTSP streams there will be one decodebin per stream. If some of
them fail because of a missing plugin we should not fail completely but play
the supported streams at least.

2 seconds might be too small for some container formats, e.g.
MPEGTS with some video codec and AAC/ADTS audio with 700ms
long buffers. The video branch of multiqueue can run full while
the audio branch is completely empty, especially because there
are usually more queues downstream on the audio branch.
Adaptive streams should download its data inside the demuxer, so
we want to use multiqueue's buffering messages to control the
pipeline flow and avoid losing sync if download rates are low;

Change the way autoplug-select is accumulated so that it's possible to have
multiple handlers. The handlers keep getting called as long as they keep
returning GST_AUTOPLUG_SELECT_TRY.
One practical example of when this is needed is when hooking into playbin's
uridecodebin, which is perhaps not very elegant but the only way to influence
which streams playbin autoplugs/exposes.

Discussion on IRC indicated that the main reason for this list was to
prevent demuxers that can trigger a lot of seeking from using
progressive buffering using queue2 (which due to being seekable triggers
that behaviour).
However given that upstream can indicate seeks are possible but should
be avoided via a scheduling query, this extra whitelisting shouldn't be
necessary for well-behaved demuxers.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=704933
Otherwise we accumulate more and more queue2 elements, and let each
of them start a thread doing nothing but waiting each time uridecodebin
goes to PAUSED.

If a source element could be created for a URI, but all elements rejected
the URI for some reason, propagate the error from the URI handler instead
of reporting a 'no uri handler found for protocol xyz' error, which is
confusing. Fixes error reporting with dvb:// URIs when the channel config
file could not be found or not be parsed or the channel isn't listed.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=678892
Use a scheduling query to check if the source element has some
bandwidth limitations. If this is the case on-disk buffering might be
used. If the source element doesn't handle the scheduling query then
fallback to checking the URI protocol against the hardcoded list of
protocols known to handle buffering already.
Fixes bug 693484.
