Julien Isorce 94d74c8900 debug: add new element fakevideodec
The fake video decoder ignores input bitstream except
to enforce caps restrictions. It reads video width,
height and framerate from caps. Then it just pushes
video frames without doing any decoding.

The fake video decoder just draws a snake moving from
left to right in the middle of the frame. This is a
light weight drawing while it still provides an idea
about how smooth is the rendering.

The fake video decoder inherits from GstVideoDecoder.
It is useful to measure how smooth will be the whole
rendering pipeline if you had the most efficient video
decoder. Also useful to bisect issues for example when
suspecting issues in a specific video decoder.

Handles mpeg2, mpeg4, h263, h264, theora, vp8, wmv3, msmpeg,
flash-video, vp6, vp9, wmv1, wmv2, divx but more can be
added if needed.

For now it can only output RGBA, RGBx, BGRA, BGRx.

Its rank is 0 (none) but I added a property to change it so
that it can be selected by decodebin.
