The pipeline flow for receiving looks like this:
rtpsession ! rtpssrcdemux ! session_fec_decoder ! rtpjitterbuffer ! \
rtpptdemux ! stream_fec_decoder ! ...
There are two places where a fec decoder could be placed.
1. As requested from the 'request-fec-decoder' signal: after rtpptdemux
for each ssrc/pt produced
2. after rtpssrcdemux but before rtpjitterbuffer: added for the
rtpst2022-1-fecenc/dec elements,
However, there was some cross-contamination of the elements involved and
the request-fec-decoder signal was also being used to request the fec
decoder for the session_fec_decoder which would then be cached and
re-used for subsequent fec decoder requests. This would cause the same
element to be attempted to be linked to multiple elements in different
places in the pipeline. This would fail and cause all kinds of havoc
usually resulting in a not-linked error being returned upstream and an
error message being posted by the source.
Fix by not using the request-fec-decoder signal for requesting the
session_fec_decoder and instead solely rely on the added properties for
that case.

Since the base class now does the parsing, there is no need
to reproduce that code in all the subclasses, just pass the attributes
which are the only relevant bit anyway.
Also, only store the direction if the subclass accepted the caps
