the code ifed a debug statement, that can't be right. anyway, the way it is,
we don't really need that branch, as we set the flag to unset only if set
(and that can't fail) hence the end result is always to unset the flag.

The _1_0 suffixed environment variables override the
non-suffixed ones, so if we're in an environment that
sets the _1_0 suffixed ones, such as jhbuild, we need
to set those to make sure ours actually always get
used.
Avoid unnecessary value copying, and unnecessary init/unset
cycles which all go through the value table. There's a bunch
of places where we copy a value and then unset it in the next
line, instead of just taking over the source value.
Add a GST_BIN_FLAG_NO_RESYNC that disables a resync when an element is added,
removed or linked in the bin. This is interesting for complex bins that
dynamically add elements to themselves and want to manage the state of those
elements without interference from resyncs.

We don't need to link to gthread-2.0 any longer, since all
the normal thread-related stuff is in GLib proper, and we
don't use g_thread_init() any more.

The function init_pre() in gstreamer/gst/gst.c calls setlocale(LC_ALL, ""),
which sets the locale to the values specified in the environment. This is
wrong for two reasons:
1. It is absolutely not the task of a library to decide on the correct locale
for a program. Some programs change the locale for various (good or bad)
reasons, and libraries should respect that. Programs where GStreamer's
overwriting of the locale causes bugs include Emacs [1, 2], Sublime Text [3],
and Lua [4].

Note that setting the locale can cause problems for programs that are not even
linked against GStreamer. In the case of Emacs, for example, GStreamer seems
to be initialized through GTK via libcanberra.
2. Setting the locale is not thread-safe, and therefore should not be done in a
library.
