This property avoids not linked error when all the pads are unlinked
or when there are no source pads. This is useful in dynamic pipelines
where it can happen that for a short time there are no pads at all or
all downstream pads are not linked yet.

It was used for pad-alloc in 0.10 but currently is completely unused
and not necessary. All pad access is protected by the tee object lock
and keeping another reference to the current pad.

Patch by: Ole André Vadla Ravnås <ole.andre.ravnas at tandberg com>
* plugins/elements/gsttee.c: (gst_tee_finalize), (gst_tee_init),
(gst_tee_request_new_pad), (gst_tee_release_pad),
(gst_tee_find_buffer_alloc), (gst_tee_buffer_alloc):
* plugins/elements/gsttee.h:
Protect pad_alloc with a new lock so that we can be sure that nothing is
performing a pad_alloc when removing the pad. Fixes#547835.
* tests/check/elements/tee.c: (buffer_alloc_harness_setup),
(buffer_alloc_harness_teardown), (app_thread_func),
(final_sinkpad_bufferalloc), (GST_START_TEST), (tee_suite):
Added testcase for shutdown race.

Reverting as not everything is clear yet. Needs some general design
work.

* tests/check/pipelines/simple-launch-lines.c (test_tee): Add
tests for push and pull tee behavior.
* plugins/elements/gsttee.h:
* plugins/elements/gsttee.c: Describe has-sink-loop better, and
mark as deprecated as well as unimplemented. It was a crack idea.
Add support for tee operating in pull mode, off by default.

Some tee loving:
Add default property defines.
Implement release pad function.
Give properties better blubs etc.
Activate pads before adding them to a running tee.
Do simple buffer_alloc on the first requested pad.
Post error when activation fails.

Original commit message from CVS:
GST_DEBUG reorganization
This is a big diff (ca 450k), containing loads of stuff:
- gstinfo.[ch] complete rewrite
- changing of all GST_DEBUG messages to reflect that change
- reorganization of subsystem disabling
- addition of gstconfig.h.in so we can track the disablings
- <gst/gst.h> does not include <unistd.h> and <config.h> anymore
- documentation updated for gstinfo stuff (build the docs yourself to know what changed)
- bugfixes for making of the docs (files from CVS are not deleted anymore
- testsuite for debugging changes in testsuite/debug
expect breakage
Original commit message from CVS:
Tee Fixes.
added cothread_stop (not used)
improved the pad event dispatcher.
added an event_received signal on the pad.
do less state changes in the autoplugger.
small scheduler fix.
Original commit message from CVS:
Added mthodes to request an element to create pads: gst_element_request_pad*
This can be used to construct a tee and a muxer/mixer/aggregator element.
Moved the tee element to elements/ because it can now be handled with the
new pad request features.
The padfactory also has some changes: a pad can now be of presence REQUEST,
which means that the pad can be requested from this plugin (doh).
