Use gap events to advance the selector's pad position.
This is relevant to keep sync_streams mode working when one of the
streams doesn't have data all the time.
A new active pad might not be notified in some cases, which results
in the current track number not being set in playbin.
The active-pad notification is only sent in the chain and sink_event
functions, and only when the buffer or event that triggered the active
pad selection is from the newly activated pad. So in the other case
the notification will never be sent.

Otherwise we might get deadlocks caused by lock order inversion:
During the chain function the stream lock is first locked and then the
inputselector lock. During pad release we first locked the inputselector
lock and then deactivating the pad would lock the stream lock.
There's no reason why the inputselector lock should be required while
deactivating and removing the pad, it's only needed before.

Only one STREAM_START event should be let through, else it will
confuse downstream elements that think a new stream is starting
whereas in fact we are just switching to a different input.
In the future we might want to let them through but with the same
sequence number.
This guarantees a bit more consistency in which input stream will
be selected by default. It would previously be the first pad on which
an event/buffer/query was received ... which was racy and non-predictable.
This adds properties to use the clock time for deciding when
to drop buffers for inactive pads and a property to buffer all
not rendered buffers for the active pad to allow pad switching
without losing any buffers at all.

Otherwise we might block forever because upstream (e.g. multiqueue) is waiting
for the previously active stream to return forever (which is waiting here
in inputselector) before pushing something on the newly selected stream.

Note: did not merge any of the basetransform changes from 0.10.
Add private replacements for deprecated functions such as
g_mutex_new(), g_mutex_free(), g_cond_new() etc., mostly
to avoid the deprecation warnings. We can't change most of
these in 0.10 because they're part of our API and ABI.
Remove the getcaps function on the pad and use the CAPS query for
the same effect.
Add PROXY_CAPS to the pad flags. This instructs the default caps event and query
handlers to pass on the CAPS related queries and events. This simplifies a lot
of elements that passtrough caps negotiation.
Make two utility functions to proxy caps queries and aggregate the result. Needs
to use the pad forward function instead later.
Make the _query_peer_ utility functions use the gst_pad_peer_query() function to
make sure the probes are emited properly.
