A race condition can occur in `srtpdec` during the READY -> NULL transition:
an RTCP buffer can make its way to `gst_srtp_dec_chain` while the element is
partially stopped, resulting in the following critical warning:
> Got data flow before segment event
The problematic sequence is the following:
1. An RTCP buffer is being handled by the chain function for the
`rtcp_sinkpad`. Since, this is the first buffer, we try pushing the sticky
events to `rtcp_srcpad`.
2. At the same moment, the element is being transitioned from PAUSED to READY.
3. While checking and pushing the sticky events for `rtcp_srcpad`, we reach the
Segment event. For this, we try to get it from the "otherpad", in this case
`rtp_srcpad`. In the problematic case, `rtp_srcpad` has already been
deactivated so its sticky events have been cleared. We won't be pushing any
Segment event to `rtcp_srcpad`.
4. We return to the chain function for `rtcp_sinkpad` and try pushing the
buffer to `rtcp_srcpad` for which deactivation hasn't started yet, hence the
"Got data flow before segment event".
This commit:
- Adds a boolean return value to `gst_srtp_dec_push_early_events`: in case the
Segment event can't be retrieved, `gst_srtp_dec_chain` can return an error
instead of calling `gst_pad_push`.
- Replaces the obsolete `gst_pad_set_caps` with `gst_pad_push_event`. The
additional preconditions checked by previous function are guaranteed here
since we push a fixed Caps which was built in the same function.

A race condition can occur in `srtpdec` during the READY -> NULL transition:
an RTCP buffer can make its way to `gst_srtp_dec_chain` while the element is
partially stopped, resulting in the following critical warning:
> assertion 'parent->numsinkpads <= 1' failed
This can occur when the first RTCP buffer is received during the READY -> NULL
transition. If deactivation of the `rtp_srcpad` has already reached
`post_activate`, the sticky events are removed from this Pad. In this case,
`gst_srtp_dec_push_early_events` branches to the generation of a stream id
using `gst_pad_create_stream_id`. This function ensures that the element
doesn't own more than 1 sink pad. Since `srtpdec` owns two of them, the
assertion fails.
This commit uses `gst_element_decorate_stream_id` which doesn't perform this
check. The preconditions is not necessary in this particular context since the
stream id for the RTP / RTCP pads are derived from the same id.

The original code was:
if (!gst_structure_get (s, "srtp-key", GST_TYPE_BUFFER, &buf, NULL) || !buf) {
goto error;
} else {
stream->key = buf;
}
So use "srtp-key" if it is set so a non NULL buffer. The condition was
incorrectly inverted in ad7ffe64a6 to:
if (gst_structure_get (s, "srtp-key", GST_TYPE_BUFFER, &buf, NULL) || !buf) {
stream->key = buf;
} ...
Fix the condition so it works as originally intended and avoid accessing
'buf' uninitialised.
