Introduce the option to have the streams be parsed with `parsebin` for
compatible sources (i.e. which are eligible for buffering in the same way as
before this commit).
By parsing the inputs directly, this allows more accurate buffering control:
* Instead of relying on potential bitrate information coming from somewhere
* and *without* being linked downstream
If `parse-streams` is activated and the stream is eligible for buffering, then a
`multiqueue` will be used on the output of `parsebin` in order to handle the
buffering.
API: `parse-streams`

Make an explicit topology/tree of structures:
* ChildSrcPadInfo is created for each source element source pad
* ChildSrcPadInfo contains the chain of optional elements specific to that
pad (ex: typefind)
* A ChildSrcPadInfo links to one or more OutputSlot, which contain what is
specific to the output (i.e. optional buffering and ghostpad)
* No longer use GObject {set|get}_data() functions to store those structures and
instead make them explicit
* Pass those structures around explicitely in each function/callback

The following problem could happen:
* Thread 1 : urisourcebin gets activated from READY->PAUSED
* Thread 2 : some element causes a pad to be added to urisourcebin , which gets
linked downstream, which decides to activate upstream to pull-based.
* That requires "activating" the pads from PUSH to NONE, and then from NONE to PULL
* Thread 1 : the base class state change handlers checks if all pads are
activated
The issue is that since going form PUSH to PULL requires going through NONE,
there is a window during which:
* Thread 1 : The pad was set to NONE (before being set to PULL)
* Thread 2 : The base class activates that pad (to PUSH)
* Thread 1 : The attempt to "activate" to PULL fails (silently or not)
This is very racy, so in order to avoid that, we make sure that we only add pads
once the transition from READY->PAUSED in the parent classes is done.

GLib guarantees libintl is always present, using proxy-libintl as
last resort. There is no need to mock gettex API any more.
This fix static build on Windows because G_INTL_STATIC_COMPILATION must
be defined before including libintl.h, and glib does it for us as part
as including glib.h.

Sources that can internally handle buffering shouldn't have yet-another
buffering element after it. This can be simply detected by checking if it can
answer a TIME BUFFERING query just after creation.
If that is the case, we can expose the element source pads directly
