The gap handling was in place, but there was no event handler to trigger it.
Implement the alpha sink event handler for the gaps. This fixes handling of
valid streams which may not refresh the alpha frames for every video frames.
It will also allow a clean error if the stream was missing the initial
alpha frame, at least until we find a better way to handle these
invalid frames.

When using playbin3, it seems that the alpha decode is always first to
push caps and run an allocation query. As the format change from sink
and alpha were not synchronized, the allocation query could endup
being run before the caps are pushed. That may lead to failing query,
which makes the decoder thinks there is no GstVideoMeta downstream and
most likely CPU copy the frame.
This patch implements a format cookie to track and synchronize the
format changes on both pads fixing the racy performance issue.
