Previously the omx plugin was blacklisted if GST_OMX_CONFIG_DIR
points to an invalid path or if the gstomx.conf contains 0 valid
component.
Problem is that once the plugin is blacklisted, a rescan is not
triggered upon changes of the env var or the gstomx.conf file
despite being setup with gst_plugin_add_dependency.
This also makes it more consistent with other plugins that auto
generate features. For example gst-{ffmeg,libav}, gstreamer-vaapi,
v4l2 video dec.
To clarify the diff, the plugin_init func will return TRUE even if
g_key_file_get_groups returns 0 element and even if
g_key_file_load_from_dirs fails.

egl_render seems to have a bug and signals EOS before it has finished
pushing out all data; this hack simply makes acquire_buffer() wait
a bit more before signalling EOS, in case egl_render decides to spit
out some more data.

There is one rare case where calling handle_messages() more than once can cause a deadlock
in the video decoder element:
- sink pad thread starts the src pad task (gst_omx_video_dec_loop())
- _video_dec_loop() calls gst_omx_port_acquire_buffer() on dec_out_port
- blocks in gst_omx_component_wait_message() releasing comp->lock and comp->messages_lock
(initially, there are no buffers configured on that port, so it waits for OMX_EventPortSettingsChanged)
- the sink pad thread pushes a buffer to the decoder with gst_omx_port_release_buffer()
- _release_buffer() grabs comp->lock and sends the buffer to OMX, which consumes it immediately
- EmptyBufferDone gets called at this point, which signals _wait_message() to unblock
- the message from EmptyBufferDone is processed in gst_omx_component_handle_messages()
called from gst_omx_port_release_buffer()
- gst_omx_port_release_buffer releases comp->lock
- the src pad thread now gets to run, grabbing comp->lock while it exits from _wait_message()
- _acquire_buffer() calls the _handle_messages() on the next line after _wait_message(),
which does nothing (no pending messages)
- then it goes to "retry:" and calls _handle_messages() again, which also does nothing
(still no pending messages)
- scheduler switches to a videocore thread that calls EventHandler, informing us about the
OMX_EventPortSettingsChanged event that just arrived
- EventHandler graps comp->messages_lock, but not comp->lock, so it can run in parallel at
this point just fine.
- scheduler switches back to the src pad thread (which is in the middle of _acquire_buffer())
- the next _handle_messages() which is right before if (g_queue_is_empty (&port->pending_buffers))
processes the OMX_EventPortSettingsChanged
- the buffer queue is still empty, so that thread blocks again in _wait_message()
- the sink pad thread tries to acquire the next input port buffer
- _acquire_buffer() also blocks this thread in:
if (comp->pending_reconfigure_outports) { ... _wait_message() ... }
- DEADLOCK. gstreamer is waiting for omx to do something, omx waits for gstreamer to do something.
By removing those extra _handle_messages() calls, we can ensure that all the checks of
_acquire_buffer() will re-run. In the above case, after the scheduler switches back to
the middle of _acquire_buffer(), the code will enter _wait_message(), which will see that
there are pending messages and will return immediately, going back to "retry:" and
re-doing all the checks properly.

Provides omxanalogaudiosink and omxhdmiaudiosink elements on
the Raspberry PI.
- omxanalogaudiosink is capable to render raw mono or stereo audio
through the jack output.
- omxhdmiaudiosink is capable to render raw audio up to 8 channels
and transmit ac3/dts(IEC 61937) through the HDMI output.
- sinks provide a clock derived from rendered samples
- sinks support the GstStreamVolume interface by implementing
the volume and mute properties.

Fix printf formats again, so that gst-omx compiles warning-
free on the Raspberry Pi as well. Unfortunately OMX_UINT32
maybe be typedefed to uint32_t or unsigned long, which
doesn't work well with our debugging printf format strings,
so just use %u for those and cast to guint.
