The name `gst_element_get_request_pad()` is confusing to people
learning GStreamer. `gst_element_request_pad_simple()` aims at
providing the exact same functionality, while making it more
explicit it is a simplified `gst_element_request_pad()`.
`gst_element_request_pad_simple()` is consistent with other
functions such as `gst_element_seek_simple`.
This commit deprecates `gst_element_get_request_pad()` so that a
compilation warning is emitted when used and incite developers
to use the more explicit `gst_element_request_pad_simple()`.

Changing states up and down while buffers are being pushed is not
a valid use case. If a pad is deactivated and reactivated during
a buffer push it is racy with the check of pushed sticky events
and the actual chainfunction call. As it might call the chain
without noticing the peer pad lost its previous sticky events.

Iterator may need to be resynced, for instance if pads are released
during state change.
got_eos should be protected by the object lock of the element, not of
the pad, as is the case throughout the rest of the funnel code.

When no data is coming from sinkpads and eos events
arrived at one of the sinkpad, funnel forwards the EOS
event to downstream. It forwards the EOS because lastsink pad
is NULL. Also the unit testcase of the funnel is not checking
the correct behavior as it should. The unit test case should
fail if one of the sink pad has already EOS present on it and
we are trying to push one more EOS.

Remove pad_alloc and all references. This can now be done more efficiently and
more flexible with the ALLOCATION query and the bufferpool objects. There is no
reverse negotiation yet but that will be done with an event later.
