Only one STREAM_START event should be let through, else it will
confuse downstream elements that think a new stream is starting
whereas in fact we are just switching to a different input.
In the future we might want to let them through but with the same
sequence number.
This guarantees a bit more consistency in which input stream will
be selected by default. It would previously be the first pad on which
an event/buffer/query was received ... which was racy and non-predictable.
This adds properties to use the clock time for deciding when
to drop buffers for inactive pads and a property to buffer all
not rendered buffers for the active pad to allow pad switching
without losing any buffers at all.

Otherwise we might block forever because upstream (e.g. multiqueue) is waiting
for the previously active stream to return forever (which is waiting here
in inputselector) before pushing something on the newly selected stream.

Note: did not merge any of the basetransform changes from 0.10.
Add private replacements for deprecated functions such as
g_mutex_new(), g_mutex_free(), g_cond_new() etc., mostly
to avoid the deprecation warnings. We can't change most of
these in 0.10 because they're part of our API and ABI.
Remove the getcaps function on the pad and use the CAPS query for
the same effect.
Add PROXY_CAPS to the pad flags. This instructs the default caps event and query
handlers to pass on the CAPS related queries and events. This simplifies a lot
of elements that passtrough caps negotiation.
Make two utility functions to proxy caps queries and aggregate the result. Needs
to use the pad forward function instead later.
Make the _query_peer_ utility functions use the gst_pad_peer_query() function to
make sure the probes are emited properly.
This makes sure that SEEK events are sent to all upstream elements, which is
required if different streams are completely distinct pipeline parts. Also this
allows QoS to be done on deselected streams, flushes to be handled correctly,
etc.
The switch action signal with the stop and start running times
is not necessary anymore. Closing of segments is not necessary
and adjusting the start running time of a segment can later be
done with new GstPad API.
