* tests/check/libs/utils.c: (missing_msg_check_getters):
Change GStreamer marker prefix in detail string from 'gstreamer.net'
to just 'gstreamer'. Document the caps string component of the
decoder/encoder detail a bit better, since not everyone will be
familiar with the GStreamer media type/caps system (but they better
enjoy nested itemized lists).
Original commit message from CVS:
* tests/check/libs/utils.c: (GST_START_TEST):
Fix unit test. Turns out things work much better when you
NULL-terminate string arrays. Should make p5 build bot happy again.

Lowering log level to see why things fail on the p5 build bot;
fix some typos in unit test messages.
Original commit message from CVS:
* tests/check/libs/utils.c:
(test_base_utils_install_plugins_do_callout):
Don't hard-code temp directory for test helper; use GLib functions
to write out file and do error checking etc.

* gst-libs/gst/utils/install-plugins.h:
API: add API for applications to initiate installation of missing
plugins, ie. gst_install_plugins_async() primarily.
Based on libgimme-codec by Ryan Lortie.
* configure.ac:
Add --with-install-plugins-helper configure option so distros can specify
the path of the helper script or program to call when plugin installation
is requested (distros: please do any argument munging in this helper
script instead of patching GStreamer to pass arguments differently
to another program directly).
* docs/libs/gst-plugins-base-libs-docs.sgml:
* docs/libs/gst-plugins-base-libs-sections.txt:
Build and document new API.
* tests/check/libs/utils.c: (result_cb),
(test_base_utils_install_plugins_do_callout), (GST_START_TEST),
(libgstbaseutils_suite):
Some simple checks for the new API.
