If the multiqueue has automatically grown chances are good that
we will cause the pipeline to starve if the maximum level is reduced
below that automatically grown size.

This avoids triggering plenty of extra code/methods/overhead downstream when
we can just quickly check whenever we want to set caps whether they are
identical or not

This makes gst_parse_bin_from_description() return an element instead of
a bin if there's only one element. Also changed gstparse.c to use this,
so gst-launch won't create superfluous bins.

When a buffering query is handled it uses the get_buffering_percent()
function to get some statitics. Unfortunately this function also
calculates whether the queue should be buffering and adapts the
global queue2 state in case of state transitions from/to buffering
(including whether a buffering message was posted on the bus!).
This means that there is a race which can cause buffering messages
to never posted if the global state changes happen as a result of aa
query instead of resulting from bytes flowing in/out.
Spotted by Sjoerd Simons.
Change to only query state in get_buffering_percent() and update
state only in update_buffering().

Use custom code to implement flush-stop, we can't reuse the set_flushing code
because we can't touch the live_playing flag and we need to signal the
streaming thread.
In some specific cases (like transmuxing) we want to force the element
to actually parse all incoming data even if the element deems it is not
necessary.
This property simply ignores requests from the element to enable passthrough
mode which results in processing always being enabled.

Adds a variant of the _push function that doesn't check the queue limits
before adding the new item. It is useful when pushing an element to the
queue shouldn't lock the thread.
One particular scenario is when the queue is used to serialize buffers
and events that are going to be pushed from another thread. The
dataqueue should have a limit on the amount of buffers to be stored to
avoid large memory consumption, but events can be considered to have
negligible impact on memory compared to buffers. So it is useful to be
used to push items into the queue that contain events, even though the
queue is already full, it shouldn't matter inserting an item that has
no significative size.
This scenario happens on adaptive elements (dashdemux / mssdemux) as
there is a single download thread fetching buffers and putting into the
dataqueues for the streams. This same download thread can als generate
events in some situations as caps changes, eos or a internal control
events. There can be a deadlock at preroll if the first buffer fetched
is large enough to fill the dataqueue and the download thread and the
next iteration of the download thread decides to push an event to this
same dataqueue before fetching buffers to other streams, if this push
locks, the pipeline will be stuck in preroll as no more buffers will be
downloaded.
There is a somewhat common practice in dash streams to have a single
very large buffer for audio and one for video, so this will always
happen as the download thread will have to push an EOS right after
fetching the first buffer for any stream.

The current documentation is controverse, while it states that the
returned value is valid only while the query is is valid, which presumes
a 'transfer none' policy. But the tooltip for the 'out' annotation
states the default is 'transfer-full'.
Add the missing 'transfer none' annotations to fix this.
