This allows to add pad templates and set metadata in class_init instead of
base_init. base_init is a concept that is not supported by almost all
languages and copying the templates/metadata for subclasses is the more
intuitive way of doing things.
Subclasses can override pad templates of parent classes by adding a new
template with the same now.
Also gst_element_class_add_pad_template() now takes ownership of the
pad template, which was assumed by all code before anyway.
Fixes bug #491501.

Earlier versions of OSX don't support proper multiarch and
trying to use /usr/bin/arch -foo with those versions would
just break things.

Change semantics of gst_base_parse_push_frame() and make it take
ownership of the whole frame, not just the frame contents. This
is more in line with how gst_pad_push() etc. work. Just transfering
the content, but not the container of something that's not really
known to be a container is hard to annotate properly and probably
won't work. We mark frames allocated on the stack now with a private
flag in gst_base_parse_frame_init(), so gst_base_parse_frame_free()
only frees the contents in that case but not the frame struct itself.

1) We need to lock and get a strong ref to the parent, if still there.
2) If it has gone away, we need to handle that gracefully.
This is necessary in order to safely modify a running pipeline. Has been
observed when a streaming thread is doing a buffer_alloc() while an
application thread sends an event on a pad further downstream, and from
within a pad probe (holding STREAM_LOCK) carries out the pipeline plumbing
while the streaming thread has its buffer_alloc() in progress.

On OSX, GStreamer might be built as a 'fat/universal' binary containing
both 32-bit and 64-bit code. We must take care that gst-plugin-scanner
is executed with the same architecture as the GStreamer core, otherwise
bad things may happen and core/scanner will not be able to communicate
properly.
Should fix issues with (32-bit) firefox using a 32-bit GStreamer core
which then spawns a 'universal' gst-plugin-scanner binary which gets
run in 64-bit mode, causing 100% cpu usage / busy loops or just hanging
firefox until killed.

As GST_SCHEDULING reports when buffers pass through pads due to
gst_pad_push calls, they are a good way of tracking the progress of
buffers through pipelines. As such, adding output of the buffer pointers
to these messages allows tracking of specific buffers, easing debugging.
