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.

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.
...and in playbin2 additionally prefer sinks over parsers.
This makes sure that we a) always directly plug a sink if it supports
the (compressed) format and b) always plug parsers in front of decoders.
For streaming sources a queue is added before the demuxer, which can not be
properly filled by live sources. As http source can be live sources, this
caused issues for example with http live sources.

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'll change these
over to the new API once we depend on glib >= 2.32.
Replace g_thread_create() with g_thread_try_new().
