This function is not really pad or slow for the common case of requesting a
pad with the name of the template. It is only slower if you to name your pads
directly instead of letting the element handle it.
Also there's no reason to deprecate it in favor of a more complicated function
for the common case.
Support for (nullable) was added to G-I at the same time as nullable
return values. Previous versions of G-I will not mark return values as
nullable, even when an (allow-none) annotation is present, so it is
not necessary to add (allow-none) annotations for compatibility with
older versions of G-I.

When a pad is added the need-parent flag is set to true, so when
they are removed the flag should be set back to false
This was preventing GstPads to be reused in elements (removed and
later re-added). A unit tests was added to verify that this is
working now.
The use case is tsdemux that has a program-number property and
allows the user to switch programs. In order to do that tsdemux
will remove the pads of the current program and add from the new
ones. The removed pads are kept in the demuxer for later if the
user selects the old program again.
They are very confusing for people, and more often than not
also just not very accurate. Seeing 'last reviewed: 2005' in
your docs is not very confidence-inspiring. Let's just remove
those comments.
and remove all the printf extension/specifier stuff for
the system printf. Next we need to add back the custom
specifiers to our own printf implementation.

Elements should override GstElement::set_context() and also call
gst_element_set_context() to keep this context up-to-date with
the very latest context they internally use.
The order of returned pads wasn't specified before, so let's specify
it and use an order which might prove the most useful : the order in
which pads were added to the element.
If someone changes the order, make sure users of those iterators from
now on don't rely on that order !
In the dispose handler we first need to release all the request pads and then
remove the remaining pads. This is because it is possible that releasing the
request pad might also cleanly remove some of the other dynamic pads, like
what rtpsession does.

Add gst_element_class_{add,set}_metadata() variants for static strings,
so we can avoid unnecessary g_strdup()s.
API: gst_element_class_add_static_metadata()
API: gst_element_class_set_static_metadata()
There are many good use cases for GstIndex and we want
to add it back again in some form, but possibly not with
the current API, which is very powerful (maybe too powerful),
but also a bit confusing. At the very least we'd need to
make the API bindings-friendly.
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.
Add a new pad flag NEED_PARENT that ensures that the parent of a pad is
reffed and not NULL when the event, query and internal links functions
are called.
When a pad is added to an element automatically make sure the NEED_PARENT flag
is enabled.
